The modern definition has differed the one thats planted within us since humans walked the earth. People listen and behave according to what the government deems lawful. People have been brainwashed for humdreds and hundreds of years as to how they should act and what others deem as normal behaviour.
Some people - Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz and others - have not only been brave enough to show the real side of human behaviour, but have also shown human instinct as it was always made to be shown.
This is not true. It might seem counterintuitive, but human warfare has only been around for about 10 000 years. The first evidence of warfare is from Egypt about 10 000 years ago.
Fighting for social and sexual dominance is different and has been around longer. But even in the animal kingdom, studs who fights for the right to have offspring doesnt kill each other. If to bears fights each other, the fight only lasts untill one of the bears has submitted and runs away.
Warfare first only emerged along with trade. The drug cartels in Mexico today kill for their trade interests in selling drugs. USA has a naval fleet in the Middle East protecting the trade with oil. England dominated the world for centuries due to their naval supremcay and capacaty to protect the trade across the worlds seas.
If society collapses, essential for survival will be the ability to protect trade somehow.
Psychopaths like Ted Bundy would in a simple society been killed long before he managed to do any great harm.
