Precisely. I'm not saying that one can't look at what's happening today and wish it were different, but it's this attitude that the world is going to shit and we're surrounded by horrible people and on and on and I'm just like...yes. Everyone feels this way. Everyone has always felt this way. Because WE'RE ANIMALS WHO HAVE JUST ENOUGH COGNITIVE ABILITIES TO MAKE CITIES.
History = humans in their tribal groups, based on whatever unifying principle (religion, culture, language, ethnicity, region), doing their best to knock the shit out of some other tribal group. The end.
