Well, by gum, if they won't accept our peace and love view of humanity, let's thrash 'em and *make* them believe as we do. After all, it's the right thing to do!
Or not.

I don't think a global concept of humanity entails any particular ideals about peace and love. Just that its not a "tribal" view, overtly at least, and that it is the historic exception, not the rule.

In fact, your quip points to the resiliance of us/them.
