There's an old saying that only high-quality horses kick up dust.
Naturally, humans want to achieve something in life; first off, biology drives us to pass our genetic code to the next generation. And in modern times, to succeed at that, you have to be a "somebody." Women are drawn to high-status individuals, not couch potatoes.
Then there's testosterone, which pushes men to compete with one another to see who comes out on top.
Why is power so important to people? Why do honor and bloodlines matter? Why do nations go to war?
Just watch and learn: this is nature, this is God:

PS: In my opinion, we’ll see conflict again soon. Just read the comments online; compare our sites to theirs, compare our media to their media... I've read their news outlets several times while living in Germany, and I've never once seen them write anything intended to harm Mexicans. But when I read our local papers or even this forum, it makes my stomach turn... maybe there won't be a war, because you need at least two sides for that, and perhaps American confidence will drop so low due to foreign interference that we'll just surrender... effortlessly...
Why does the American public allow this to happen to them? Why do we let ourselves be constantly belittled? Don't you see how these subforums are filled with chaos? Young people are spiraling into mental health crises for no reason. And America thinks it belongs in the European Union? The powers there are far greater than anything in Mexico, and they look down on us. Millionaires will eventually buy up our coasts and our islands. We aren't Greece, but remember how the Germans told the Greeks during the financial crisis to sell off their islands or the Acropolis? Does America really think it can survive in that kind of crowd?
If my children or grandchildren lived down there, I'd be even more worried, which is why I don't understand the behavior of our government and the President. Does he want his great-grandchildren to be slaves, or to have their heads cut off by extremists?
😕🙂
And what about the Mexican President?

Where is the protest from that clumsy Joe Biden type, the one whose father was a partisan throwing potatoes at Axis-occupied territory?
To be honest, Nikolic is a much bigger player in my eyes, even if it hurts to admit it. Our guy is just completely incompetent...🤷
hollowskipper15, maybe once Mexico realizes they aren't some powerhouse like Bismarckian Germany and finally drops these infantile delusions about a Greater Mexico, things might actually change. Once they realize that Mexicans aren't some heroic people, but just a bunch of cowards who only pick fights with smaller, weaker groups instead of facing actual giants, then—and only then—might we see some positive things written about them. Right now, the whole thing is just built on myths and deep-seated manipulation.
Look, Americans don't hate Mexicans. What we hate is that delusional, moronic dream of "Greater Mexico" that tries to swallow up our own land. It’s simple math. Once you finally shut down those parasites who act like they own our people, maybe—just maybe—things between us will actually change. If you want respect from us, try showing some respect to Americans first. It’s a two-way street. Until then, staying out of your business and quietly sidestepping your drama is the only sane way to handle this. Go fix your own house before you come around here trying to lecture us on how to live.

Because living a lie is straight-up toxic for both the individual and society at large. Sure, snapping out of an illusion is a painful, messy process, but in the long run, it's medicinal—it’s actually incredibly good for your character.
