Civilized humans have evolved to not know the difference between bullying and leadership. "A society based on competition yields fewer and fewer winners and more and more losers." -Wendell Berry

Contemporary discussion tends to blame "the Rich", but that's just another confusion of aggression and abuse with the accumulation of money. Abuse and aggression are rewarded in competition as in war, and the last to know are the youngest soldiers.

So-called "civilization" is a Petri dish of festering competition built by the Petri dish manufacturing cabal. It has no benefit for anything outside the dish (the planet) nor the people inside the dish, yet we justify all manner of horror because "Cities must be BUILT!"
