Yea, like I get that part. But what part of the human psyche actually makes us act this way so often?

Some people really desire hierarchy and they lack empathy, they feel better when others suffer even if it doesn't make them any better off. Then they join right wing political parties with each other and come into power.

I guess that's what it comes to. People on the bottom what to know that there is someone underneath them. And strong men give them that. You see it with racial divides being poked and prodded in America. I guess that's what we see here.

Instead of making it better for all of us, some people just wanna see that they are already better than someone else.

Tribalism is humanity's default.
