This is why moral rules, regulating violence evolved. In-fighting, and the absence of a single dominant male reduces group cohesion, and cooperation, decreasing their overall survival and reproductive potentials.
Domesticated modern man, like any stunted domesticated animal, will have to reconnect with the earth, with perceived experience, with the objective, in order to aspire to anything real and meaningful. Nature has become something foreign to him now, which is why he is so dazzled by it.
A school of fish doesn't act as one big group. Each individual reacts to its neighbor, changing speed and direction in response to one another. The fish track their neighbors using their eyes and lateral lines, organs that can detect vibrations and changes in water pressure. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Among birds, flocking.... Among mammals herding...
Among humans....trending.....following popular beliefs, peer-pressure...imitation....fashion followers... When a female is involved it is a powerful attractor for males to align and accept and adopt and follow.
Humans must attribute to suffering a cause, a meaning or purpose, otherwise they cannot cope with it. Conscious awareness of nature and oneself, is our handicap, in the same way super speed and agility is for a cheetah; the power is great, but the cost is high, a tradeoff like anything in nature. We call nature "cruel" when it doesn't align with our ethical and moral valuations and feelings. Some seek power in acquiescence, to give themselves over to the hopelessness and meaninglessness, believing they are on the right side of the ultimate "truth". Most seek to rectify it, resolve it, correct it, by surrendering themselves to a divine will, or 'rational solution', that accounts for why they suffer, believing they are on the right side of truth. Meanwhile, they all seek power, advantage, struggle, life-affirmation in either negative or positive forms, in life-affirming or life-destroying methods, the nature of the willing, remains the same.
This is why things like nobility, compassion, clemency have been venerated, exalted and romanticized through the ages. They are rare in nature, and thus, they derive from rare superior spirits.
From genes to memes. "Unnatural" meaning human, or ideological, to be precise. Every culture socially selecting a specific kind of man; a manifestation of cumulative mutations, most of which are unfit.
Captive orangutans that had never seen stone tools have spontaneously picked up rocks and used them as hammers. Look at these orangutans in a zoo, especially the hand gesture of the one on the right
Notice how he didn't pull out a camera and record two females fighting? He stepped in to stop and neutralize the nonsense! Some humans can learn from this🥰 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

And it is precisely this truth of the world, that is the key to philosophy. And just as nature teaches us by this truth, the superior/inferior distinctions apply no less between predator and prey, than to the weak souls who despair and lament this truth, and the strong ones who embrace it, and strive forward.
If the void cares nothing about us, nor should we about it.
Nietzsche wrote:
You desire to live "according to Nature"? Oh, you noble Stoics, what fraud of words! Imagine to yourselves a being like Nature, boundlessly extravagant, boundlessly indifferent, without purpose or consideration, without pity or justice, at once fruitful and barren and uncertain: imagine to yourselves indifference as a power—how could you live in accordance with such indifference? To live—is not that just endeavoring to be otherwise than this Nature? Is not living valuing, preferring, being unjust, being limited, endeavoring to be different? And granted that your imperative, "living according to Nature," means actually the same as "living according to life"—how could you do differently? Why should you make a principle out of what you yourselves are, and must be? In reality, however, it is quite otherwise with you: while you pretend to read with rapture the canon of your law in Nature, you want something quite the contrary, you extraordinary stage-players and self-deceivers!

Life threatened by nature, from where it emerges. The antagonism between ordering and flux.
Power is movement towards omnipotence, without ever attaining it - absent absolute - and so nature's indifference is emulated by men who move towards it to become objective. Subjectivity moves towards objectivity without ever attaining it completely, absolutely. Agon....always striving.

Fun fact: a chicken can be hypnotized with its head down near the ground, by drawing a line along the ground starting at the beak and extending straight outward in front of the chicken

The message I get is..... anarchy is for men-children imagining themselves as superheroes that can stand against collectives....while they remain docile and disciplined to collectives, feeding on the periphery, on their weakest most vulnerable members....like the twat Pezer and shit-Stain from ILP. Parasites, vermin, scavengers, not predators, not hunters.... opportunists. Their rejection of authorities - other than psychological issues having to do with the father - are entirely self-serving - take by giving the minimum; exploit, with relative impunity, if they remain within the collective's rules and ethical limits. Ego centered....and that's why they feel superior. They feel no obligation, no duty towards anything. They confuse this selective indifference as a product of their power.
