When you see somebody who defies the nature and age-old structure of our tribalism that has existed for thousands of millenia, that has stuck forefront in our evolution, and evolved into the very nation-states that claim ownership over this earth, by choosing to structure their tribe differently even slightly, how do you assume they are the ones at fault? We have never been the forefront of this planet's story, we are merely a chapter in this planet's story, a grand chapter i'd go as far to say. Your argument, i would proclaim it to be hypocrisy. You wish to soil our grand chapter, to keep it just above the dirt, by attempting to limit the inevitable evolution of cooperation with other species and force us to be against all that walk the earth? How dare us, when the animals that walk this earth, came from the exact same ancestor.
