    one day when we will hopefully be living in more peaceful times without imperialists

    You don’t read much history? Humans have never lived in widespread peace for any length of time. We have evidence of violence between groups of humans well back into the Stone Age. We are not a species prone to peace.

      Not sure why you have a snarky tone about it, but there definitely have been times in human history that were not using war as a means of carving out resources and spheres of influence. Comparing tribes fighting to today’s reasons for war is pretty pointless, and so is defining a immutable “human nature”. If anything, the nature of humans is to change their nature.
