We are all in this together.

Not really. There has always been one class of people who make the rules but are not bound by them, and another class who don't make the rules but are bound by them.

The former is most definitely not "in this together" with the latter.

Edit: And if a person is in the latter class, supporting the former, that person isn't "in this together" with their own class.

You're not going to change the system. It has been like that since mankind lived in caves. Accept it and improve your own part in it. Complaining will only make you unhappy. Emotional people are usually the ones that lose.

FYI the notion that hierarchical oppression is natural to humans is misinformed. There's plenty of archaeological and anthropological evidence of a wide variety of social systems, ranging from rigid hierarchy to flat social structures with no hierarchy whatsoever. So no, it hasn't been like that since humans were in caves, and justifying the current order as natural is way more cringe than pointing out that most of recorded history is defined by struggle between the owners and the owned.

I was having some thoughts the other night about how the "general assholery" of people might be a large contributing factor to the ability of humanity as a whole to take over the planet.

Even if that's true from an evolutionary standpoint, there's lots of things which are similarly true which we rise above, and we should rise above this one, too.

And which of these cultures prevailed?

The ones with the metal.

The French made a convincing go at it.

Is Kurzgesagt not being paid to parrot propaganda a symptom worth mentioning?
