We do, generally with our kin and close in-group (friends).
Perhaps you are unlucky in not having a loving family and friends.
Today's generally urbanised global lifestyles, with long-distance travel and communications, are far from the small-scale tribal groups of most of our evolutionary history, so our behaviours are somewhat distorted and unpredictable - we're cognitively flexible enough to cope, but where we can't sublimate our tribal aggression (e.g. nested geographic rivalries, politics, team sports, etc.), we tend to form arbitrary allegiances with exaggerated antipathies toward other groups. Now that the internet and social media connects and gives public access to even the most extreme fringe groups, the problems are multiplying.
A very good reply. I agree with what you wrote.
Yet, there are some obvious points to note. The more extreme views find a large population, eager to listen.
Politicians, royalty, film and music stars, the wealthy. Once they could conceal their activities but not these days. They cannot escape the media focus, there is an endless list of people. That will film and tape their activities for a financial return.
Which are worse, film stars, rock stars, or royalty?
I pity the politicians these days, no matter what they say or do, their activities will be broadcast far and wide. They will contradict themselves, their lies will be exposed, their self interest on display. It's a tough gig being a politician these days.
The internet is generating havoc in poorer nations. People are seeing the lifestyles of the wealthy, western nations. And their country is poverty stricken. This is not good as it generates political unrest, social upheaval, anger and frustration. The internet ultimately, will do far more damage in the long run, to the bulk of the population of the world.
Tribal aggression, I agree with that.
