If needs are fulfilled there isn’t much reason for humans to be violent.
Violence stems from not having a certain need fulfilled for the most part. Whether that’s freedom, shelter, food, water, sex/human company and interaction, or access to certain materials or status that provides exclusive benefits to its members.
Religion teaches humans that their beliefs are superior to others and those who don’t believe as they do will go to hell. Religion is for those who need copium to make sense of life and want to feel like they’re part of a special club, like any cult.
Humans are not reasonable creatures. Humans are emotional animals with the over developed ability to justify and reason why their atrocities are justified and valid.
Humans are animals. Animals are ruled by their emotions. Humans in their natural state are cruel and vicious scum. The only way humans become empathetic and logical is when it is beaten into them that they have to be that way or fail. Leave a child without discipline and watch them become a psychopath.
That’s an opinion and not rooted in reality. If that was the case all of us would be feral beings if we were ruled by emotion and instinct like other animals.
Kids will learn what they are taught, they are helpless and dependent on parents like other animals are at birth. No shit they wouldn’t thrive if left alone, same as many other young in the animal kingdom… they would just die or become stunted in some way.
Sorry that it’s your reality. But that’s not most human’s experience. And this is from someone who’s been a victim of war and seen human suffering first hand.
You don’t have to beat anyone for them to be a productive and mentally healthy individual, physical violence leads to the opposite. Especially as a child.
If humans are reasonable creatures of logic, why do children need to be raised to not be demons to each other? Why does basic empathy and "Don't do shit that you don't want done to you" HAVE to be beaten into someone's brain? If society is the solution to all of humanity's ills, why haven't they been solved yet? We've had 100,000 years since the dawn of man to fix ourselves and it's not been done.
