I have no issue with acknowledging the depravity and evil of humans. I have seen it. I have lived through it. I am betting that you have as well, in one way or another.

It's unavoidable.

This entire society is depraved to an extent. Capitalism would not continue to exist as a societal model without it.

Of course, you are correct. Using the reference is insulting to other animal forms on this planet, mainly because 'animals' would have already solved this crap we are living through these days. Blowhard upstarts are usually removed one way or another without pause.

Maybe we are not as 'animal' as we need to be?
