    Here’s an idea: Let’s take the five or six middle-aged male politicians (because it’s almost always middle-aged male politicians) from each side who want to send their own people to war and put them in a big room with baseball bats.

    My bet is it will be like those viral videos where dogs bark at each other when there’s a gate in the way, but if someone opens the gate, they just stare at each other and look nervous.

    Whatever happens in there, it’s to have absolutely no bearing on their countries or the rest of the world, but they’re not allowed to come out until they all need a hospital.

    And if they still want war after that, they go back in the room.

      It would be exactly like this viral video

      Unfortunately it’s not just politicians doing this. A lot of people hate each other for no other reason than they’re from a different country/religion/race.

      I really hope there is a parallel universe where this happens, I wish it with every fiber of my being
