    Sorry.

    Your understanding of biology, anthropology, and history have been limited to the tropes distributed through a reactionary agenda.

    Primates are social, and exhibit immensely varied and nuanced behaviors for sharing and cooperation, further enhanced by culture that adapts a particular population to local conditions. Humans share many general similarities with other kinds of ape, but are not constrained by traits that may be observed strictly in such species.

    For a point of comparison, suppose we take your suggestion literally, about colonizing off planet. Do you imagine some level of cooperation being required, perhaps even great personal sacrifice, not strongly supported by your caricatured representations of nonhuman species?

      At no point in the comment you are trying to answer was implied that cooperation was non existent.

      I must conclude you are just arguing in bad faith

        Did I represent the comment as insinuating that cooperation is nonexistent?

        Your objection is outrageous, considering the intensity of its tone, and the structure of my comment, that you are criticizing, within its context.

        Again, the comment was parroting reactionary tropes that are rejected essentially universally by experts who study the relevant fields.

        They’re tankies, that’s kind of par for the course with them, but even tankies can be interesting to talk to sometimes. It’s better than arguing with knuckledraggers who bust out the abacus to defend not having to think about or see the plot holes in shows they like.
