"tribalism" being the word we use to label when a civilization engages in pointless violence when it's tribes that avoid this bullshit naturally by excluding the waste of time members of society who try to break society is so frustrating to me

In all fairness, tribes did occasionally fight.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

sure. but tribes didn't often engage in systematic eliminations. genocide is something civilizations do

[-] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Probably depends on the definition of "tribe", but yeah, I agree in principle.

You mean like the civilization of Homo Sapien Sapiens that genocided the Neanderthals?
