Yes. I don't remember the name of the civilization, but there was an entirely "peaceful" society that existed for several hundred years, until Christopher Columbus showed up, and raped and murdered them all.

No group of people has ever been peaceful with each other, let’s stop this anti-west fantasy and start talking about real problems, like how to fix democracies and capitalism

Try again, and stop erasing history. They were unique because they lived on an isolated island, so they didn't have neighbors to make war with.
Oh, and I was misinformed, Columbus didn't wipe them all out, just most of them. Some still exist and have resumed their ancestral ways, apparently.
And when they got close, they killed each other. So to my point, maybe some people should just live on a different planet
