Even if we as humans could all just get along, there are still dangerous animals out there that one has to be prepared to confront.

Not to mention, wouldn't it be prudent to at least prepare for the possibility of an alien invasion?

Or should we just be prepared to peacefully protest no matter how ruthless our potential assailants might be?

Just IMO though.

No, men are gonna fight each other occasionally.

Hopefully we can eventually stop wars, we can certainly live without corporal and capital punishment.

as long as weapons are around that can be coupled with deep-seeded
hatred/entitlement, doused with mass media (interference), there
will always be violence.

For example, if you have one indivisible food resource and two people, what are they suppose to do to decide who gets it?

2. one or both can move to a place w/more plentiful food.

3. one or both can decide they'd rather die than live in a world w/such limited food supply that they have to fight the other to the death just to survive.

fuck you.

And in the second two scenarios it seems the strong get the food and the weak go without and risk dying.

I think the 2 and 3 go against human nature and are only possible if the individuals believe in some higher power or have adopted some moral code that says starving is better than taking which, on its face, is irrational.

telling someone "no" could be considered a "harming act" (read: violent)

stepping on grass

all kinds of things

and all it would take is someone to define violence differently than you
