The answer is quite obvious. Wherever there is life (vegetal, animal, or human) there is competition for the scarce resources of the environment.

The competition will usually take the form of a conflict. This is true across time and space.

The point I was trying to make is that government intervention will always make things worse. In this specific case, through the creation of artificial borders, and the forced association of different tribal groups.

I'll add that I also believe that Bitcoin is hope because it can play a very important role in mitigating all the mess created by past, present and future governments.
