Think I was getting at how people have the potential to not need to fight like animals for property. Especially since throughout time people don't need much to fight the "other" for anything, like property. There's religion, race, ethnicity, eye color, freckles, etc... people always find a reason to fight. On the one hand it preserves humanity, but on the other it destroys it.

Speaking of, I wonder what the main reasons are for the current wars in Ukraine and Hamas?

Money laundering, mainly.

And I’m not saying that we should fight like animals, I’m just saying that property rights are foundational to individuality. It’s not a mental construct and it’s not negative.

Quite the opposite. The idea that we should own nothing or feel no attachment to the environment that sustains us is the concept that’s foreign and unnatural.
