Because most of human history looked something like mad max and all the "peace first" guys were the first to die nasty deaths

What has given you this perception that all of history was something like mad max? There are certain time periods and events of turmoil and "war" which you can point too, but why have you come to the conclusion that all of history and life in it was a super action movie?

I'm not him but we know the answer. All the rich people keep repeating it. And if you hear it enough times, see it in enough movies, and even get taught in school that slaves were thankful for their "opportunity" then you start to believe it.

What if I told you it wasn't a light switch, you can just defend your community and there were areas of the world that understood this. Cultures that resolved conflict with mostly ceremonial combat and preferred trade to war?
