    Doesn't have to be. Competition is wired into the species but need
    not take the form of warfare.

    Usually ends up there.

    Seen vids of Brit football fans ? :-)

    Seen vids of the post-SuperBowl 'celebration' ?

    Humans, like many species, form hierarchical social
    organizations - 'pecking order'. Everybody wants to
    be the Big Rooster - and that oft means ultra-violence.
    It's in the DNA from top to bottom.

    Doesn't matter that there are 'theoretical' work-arounds,
    that's generally not the way it will go. ISIS or Iran or
    Houthi want to own all of Araby ... Trump or somebody
    sends bombers and rockets. Trumps, Putins, Xis, Kims,
    bin-Ladens, "Karens" ... everybody wants to rule the
    world. Go for it or Assume The Position.

    And if you don't get that about the species then you
    are forever lost, will forever Get It Wrong, will
    forever Do The Wrong Thing.

    Doesn't mean everything has to be like a barbarian
    movie all the time ... but WILL be at SLIGHTLY lower
    levels anyway, between BIG fights.

    What was that apt line in the "Black Adam"
    movie ... "Force is ALWAYS necessary" ....

    Gotta out-bully the bullies or they always WIN.

    Don't have to kill them to beat them.

    Gee, not ALWAYS ....... sometimes it SERVES better to
    keep some alive ...........

    You don't strike me as some teen-aged little dink.
    You SHOULD understand How It Works by now. All
    you need is love - AND a grenade launcher.
