Basically whenever a person actually successfully swats a fly or a mosquito aren't they actually helping the gene pool of that species as only the fastest and fittest survive (ie survival of the fittest) meaning that every generation they're going to become better and better meaning humans would struggle to deal with them in every passing generation?

During the war itself were the allies aware of Nazi concentration or extermination camps like Auschwitz, treblinka or any other camps? If so were the allies also aware of the gas chambers and mass murder? Now this might be a stupid question but was there any case of a concentration camp getting bombed by the allies even by accident?

I mean, most of Banksy’s art can be summed up as a variation of the same basic message everyone can agree with: basically, “war bad,” “poverty bad,” “government bad,” “authoritarianism bad,” and maybe, if he is feeling particularly bold, “nationalism bad.” It’s the same basic message recycled again and again, a basic opinion that is already shared by most of the population. Is there any actual example of Banksy having a detailed opinion on a topic beyond “war bad,” “poverty bad,” “government bad,” “authoritarianism bad,” or “nationalism bad”? And on top of that, Banksy definitely has a team helping him do all his work, yet people see him as this lone artist taking a stand against the system. For all his critiques of capitalism and the commodification of art, he practically participates in it himself. That shredder stunt with Girl with Balloon being partially shredded and turned into Love is in the Bin is just a bullshit publicity stunt.

Considering the Nazis looked down on Mediterranean people's and races how did they grapple with the fact that Rome and the ancient Greeks were the bedrock of European civilisation and or western civilization that they claimed to represent or protect?

Considering that new donation option has been making the rounds I want to know what actual Americans think of it.
