Only in a society that commodifies your existence and success based on the wealth you generate/hold Unless we’re changing the definition of profit to status
This is what I’m rebutting. So you see, it’s not shifting the goalposts at all. It’s staying on the topic of this comment chain. You trying to claim that humans have been majority peaceable is in fact drifting from the topic. If we’ve been majority peaceable but with plenty of profit oriented violence, that’s all that’s relevant.
The debate is whether profit appears with the advent of modern capitalism. I said people have been raiding each other for profit since the beginning of time. You failed to say anything that invalidates this.
