this ignores how many precolonial societies were wholly nonviolent. there are three kinds of culture: pure cultures, remix cultures, and domination cultures. pure cultures resist outside influence on their culture. remix cultures integrate ideas and concepts into their culture very fluidly. domination cultures attempt to eliminate other cultures they encounter. the only reason you perceive it as a biological imperative this way is that domination cultures seek to acquire and justify the power to eliminate pure and remix cultures, and then they do, and the evidence that the pure or remix culture they eliminated is gone, no longer able to speak on how they see the world and the other cultures. give this process 20k years and eventually you have an extremely small number of domination cultures subjugating the remnants of the other cultures.

this is the situation we find ourselves in today. there is nothing saying it must be this way, except for the domination cultures themselves. we can work to stop the domination cultures, but as we do this we must learn to listen to the pure and remix cultures. part of why we must do this is that the domination cultures if treated as pure cultures will continue on their course. they must be converted to remix cultures, integrating into themselves the idea of remix and pure cultures that they don’t have to be so fucking violent all the time
