[a wide character looks smug with a wide smile]
Your ideology is wrong and can’t work because “human nature” is to exploit others

[a thought bubble is connected to their head]
I really really want to exploit others, exploiting or being exploited is the only way I can picture society please God I play that you let me become an exploiter I dream of it every day

    Peace in the prehistory is kinda difficult to prove. But if we consider the fact that they only started to build fortifications when the egyptians invaded, its likely that they lived peacefully prior to the invasion.

      Considering that we know that chimps engage in “war”, and war has been part of recorded history since as long as there has been recorded history, it’s pretty easy to assume that there has always been “war”.

        But humans also descended from the more peaceful Bonobos. If we were really warlike by default like the chimps we would be more than happy to engage in warfare no?

          We didn’t descend from either chimps or bonobos. Chimps, bonobos and humans all descended from a common ancestor.

          In addition, bonobos do engage in violent conflicts. Much less often than chimps, but it does happen.
