    Yeah thats definitely true. Humans evolved bashing the brains of animals and other humans in. All of civilization is violent people pretending not to be violent.

    Including you. You’re violent as fuck in the right situations. And the only thing keeping you from being violent is that fact the people who’ve already had their monsters unleashed, pretending like they’re not monsters.

    Not all pretending is clandestine work. Pretending can also be found in theater, and in the concept of work.

    It is not a condemnation to say a person is violent and pretending not to be. That’s just what it means to be a civilized adult human.

      This is a weird take. Not everyone is violent and pretending not to be. I think that’s a gross misrepresentation of humans and not even the right way to justify this.
