It’s not us a “species” which is disgusting. It’s capitalism and a history of settler-colonialism which enforce disgusting behaviour.
Humans learn through language and culture. Yes at the moment the vast majority of humans blindly follow along in behaving in an abhorrent manner, but that doesn’t mean our fate is sealed or that we’re incapable of change, and building a new culture which encourages cooperative and better behaviour.
We are disgusting species.

The no true Scotsman.
I mean if the person you’re calling a Scotsman is from Bangladesh…
Yeah, capitalism is what caused all the world wars, even the little battles those guys with the swords did back in 900BC.
You can’t just shift the blame for everything in the world on that one thing you hate, just doesn’t work like that
Capitalism literally caused both world wars.
Wasn’t it a couple lads with hurt feelings?
The larger causes were interimperial squabbling which is inevitable when capitalism reaches the stage of competing for foreign markets.
Look at it this way: industrialized warfare required capitalism.
It’s never the disgusting species — it’s always some disgusting bipedal animal with insufficient humanity.
