That kind of attitude is steeped in human supremacy. Even fucking plants do warfare. We're not special, even in our capacity for evil.
Sure, but they don't consciously choose to do it. Fungus doesn't decide that it's going to make life miserable for the plant it's growing on, a tall shade tree doesn't decide to starve the smaller plants beneath it of sunlight. We're unique in our capacity to see a possible course of action, do an in-depth analysis of the effects that it will have, see every foreseeable shitty outcome, and decide, consciously, to do it anyway.
This is idealistic bullcrap. When you actually look at nature you see lots of examples of lifeforms just choosing violence for no good reason.
