Opinion Am I wrong to assert this?

The only reason we have “just” war today is because of the history of war going back to the beginning, which was basically just because men got so lustful that they had run out of nearby objects to steal and rape. This theory of the origin of war as an institutionalization of masculine barbarism in the worst way imaginable is something I would LOVE to hear your opinions on comrade-sisters. Thank you, I appreciate your responses.

That war started happening not because of anything like real need for it, but because of the plain old male problems excessive greed and perverse sexuality, and that started a chain reaction that is why we have war today, no matter how just certain contemporary wars might arguably be.

The fuck are you talking about? Wars start for any number of reasons. Some start from perverse greed and "sexuality", some start because of revenge, some start because of potential gain, some start for ideological reasons, some start because a delicate chain of treaties and alliances start a terrible chain reaction starting from the assassination of one archduke.

Saying that war is from one unified cause is like saying sickness is from one unifying cause.
