Savage BC
From the dawn of man, spawned in primordial germs to the evolution of the hominids to Neanderthal genes mixed into sapiens DNA. We've never managed to escape our savage legacy borne from the chaos and enslavement to our base urges and instincts. It's as if we never left the cave, instead we crave going back save for the lack of technology still we’d embrace the ideology. Sure, you can hide behind all the old facades, however there is no way to placate or deny that the socio-economical landscape has barely changed.
Only thing that has changed and been rearranged is labels, faces, and reasons for the same old carnage. Spokes on a wheel as old as the Seven Wonders built from the savage urges of starting ravages, sparking pillages, endorsing rapes, stockpiling slaves, conquering in God's name, burning what cannot be claimed, and moving to the next raid.
From: the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Judaism, Greeks, Persians, Romans, Barbarians Hordes of Samaritans, Germanic and Visigoths to Vikings, Britons, Anglo-Saxons, Warring States in the East, Meanwhile Feudalism brings plagues like we've never seen, All of Christendom begins crusades and back and forth with Saracens engaging in eons long confrontations with Muslims, later on Mongolian invasions bring half the world to its knees, Absolute Monarchism invokes the idea of creating armies of toy soldiers for future imperialism and the beginnings of the modern industrious slave trade, fast forward to Enlightenment when idealism soon clashed with Revolutionary ideas, soon after a Civil War over slaves a reconstruction and bloody rise of the Klan, Isolationism and Populism that led to two Great Wars, than satellite puppetry in Cold War fashion created Terrorism, and now here we are being rundown by the same old wheel yet again.
Slavery may have been made illegal yet still it flourishes as it's more lucrative than running guns or drugs combined with no signs of impeding it's growth as an industry. Wars are waged for the same old reason bottom-lines and resources. The world is dying but the powers that be would rather debate and deny the scientific reasoning to keep the fires burning and factories churning. You see we never left the cave we just learned how to decorate them better but still just as savage.
