I disagree. This is learned behavior. It's part of the cycle of violence that we all live with and all perpetuate.

Bulling has existed in every culture regardless of boundary, economic system, religion, and race. It is a fundamental human behavior. It is not tied to capitalism or even civilization. Compliance and conformity within group dynamics is as instinctual as eye contact and facial expressions.

We are a collective species. The only reason you and are are sitting at a fucking computer sharing ideas instantaneously through the internet is because humanity collectively worked together for the shared interests of everyone.

We are a tribal species. The collectivist merely extends the tribe beyond family, country, race, and religion. Even the most collectivist person subconsciously rates the ugly and neurodiverse lower than the beautiful and charismatic. The idea of human that most neurotypicals have excludes me by default. It's analogous to public buildings that still don't have actual infrastructure to support disabled folk. You can say "It's for the community collectively" but in reality it was made with a certain person in mind.

We are not evil and selfish. It is a learned behavior. It is a behavior we can un-learn. It is not inherent to our species.

Humans aren't evil or selfish, I never said that. They are tribal animals with no greater control over their behavior than any other animal. People like to think that their thoughts and feelings are their own so we must be in control of ourselves. Meanwhile, pretty much every facet of the self is determined by subconscious urges and desires filtered through the brain to justify itself to an imagined outside group.
