But I don't think most people are just waiting for the police to disappear so that they can raid their neighbors' houses.
Then why do they do precisely that?
You're sitting here an telling me with a straight face that if your family were starving and you knew a neighbor had food but wasn't willing to share you wouldn't go take some if able? You're either incredibly naive or stupid.
They don't do "precisely that", though. We see riots by some leftists in a small percentage of the country where politicians and the corporate press deliberate inflame racial tensions. This is not "human nature". This is demagoguery. If every single person in those cities suddenly decided to go rioting, then you might have a point. But it's not everyone. It's mostly people from out of town that Democrats truck in, anyway. These are either professional rioters or opportunists. The vast majority of people in these cities aren't rioting and stealing from each other. They're just trying to live their lives.
I didn't refer to any survival scenarios, nor did I make any such claim as you did in your second sentence. I think you're arguing more with yourself than with me. Try engaging with my comments instead of the ones you make up in your head.
They don't do "precisely that", though.
So Britain, France, and Spain colonializing the planet is fake news? The Mongolian Empire is make believe? The Roman Empire is a figment of our imagination? The Ottoman Empire is a conspiracy theory? Dude, you're making it difficult to take you seriously.
I literally never said any of these things. Just because some groups of people in times past have conquered other groups, doesn't mean that in every single instance, or even in most instances, the "strong" will always seek to conquer the "weak". I think you see some examples and assume that they apply universally. They do not. It's not a rule that every single time someone is stronger, they will conquer everyone who is weaker unless they are stopped from doing so.
You're committing basic logical fallacies that, while I believe you're serious, I find that you're not terribly intelligent. I believed things like this when I was younger, but as I grew older, I realized that the world wasn't as simple as I wanted it to be.
