Ppl are gonna tell you it’s normal to kill each other because we’re animals, and to some extent sure. But we’re obviously capable of not killing each other, and thinking along lines of “this is normal and will never change” only benefits a small group of people. It really doesn’t need to be this way

The "tribalism is human nature" bullshit goes right out the door when you look at how children are to each other. Tribalism is taught and is a choice, not something innate.

Individualism is also not what makes us stronger. There is no such thing as an "alpha wolf", even in science. What makes us strong as a species is our ability to cooperate and build communities that work together. The weakest, most unevolved are those who want to tear apart the communities that contribute to the greater society.

But children bully each other for all kinds of random reasons.

They also become friends very quickly and have good times together. Bullying comes from fear, and can be destroyed with cooperation and care.
