Yeah… people forget that ancient humans survived through cooperation long before states existed and the fights they did have were mostly just over territory and resources. Not some deep evil ‘‘human nature’’
Cooperation against other humans (and Neanderthals and such)
There was cooperation, sure. There was also a lot of killing.
It’s not just human nature, even chimps kill chimps from other groups who stray into the wrong territory.
Or they’ve just met a reasonable number of a*holes…
And that they’ve observed that once groups reach a certain size, it’s inevitable that the group contains at least one asshole.
It’s like the fable of the scorpion and the frog. It doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to cross the river. It just means that you need a more complex plan than just carrying the scorpion across on your back.
And they’re confusing learned societal encouraged behavior as innate despite all evidence to the contrary from anthology.
Nah - if I say that to you, I’m talking about you. But not directly as you cant take criticism

The complete form of the sentence is the following:
Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta is a Latin phrase of medieval origin. Its literal translation is “Unsolicited excuse, manifest accusation” (or “He who excuses himself, accuses himself”).
The meaning of this phrase is: if one has nothing to justify themselves for, they should not apologize at all. Struggling to justify one’s own actions without being solicited can be considered as an indication that one has something to hide, even if the person is in fact innocent.
