    It’s almost like all of our history has led to this.

    Seriously, imperialism, genocide/manifest destiny, slavery, the botched reconciliation…

      Our entire human history is littered with oppression of “the other”. I could argue that cooperation and trying to recover from oppression is not only rare but relatively new in comparison.

      I personally believe that we as humans should strive to better ourselves. However, there are large groups of people who would rather that they win and even larger groups of people that want to see others lose.

      And unfortunately those two groups are incompatible in a society.
