I agree we are all animals and are prone to doing shitty things because of the fact. |
yeah, i don't agree with that. first of all animals do not do shitty things to each other usually. animals take what they need and leave what they don't. animals kill for the mutual survival of each other. animals do not commit genocide.
and there are also plenty of human cultures that were based of more egalitarian ideals that were based on respecting their surroundings for example many indigenous cultures of the americas (Turtle Island). this shittiness is definitely a problem of "civilized" people and i do not think can be attributed to a genetic human trait.
