"Not all violence stems from the will to survive in a harsh environment. If this were the case, those whose survival prospects are already secure should never initiate violence. In reality, however, much violence is initiated by the most powerful (whose survival is the most secured)"
I see. To support your point, we could take the mythical Garden of Eden, for example, which corresponds with the Natuffian culture where there was an abundance of wild crops such that people no longer needed to hunt. Yet only the Cainites wanted to continue this non-violent lifestyle by becoming full-time cultivators, whereas the Sethites did not as they instead took up herding.
So the Sethites, despite living in a relatively non-harsh environment, chose to do violence anyway. One could explain this away by pointing out how agricultural work involves more labor than herding, and that the Sethites were merely choosing the less laborious occupation out of expedience, but this would beg the question: why did the Cainites choose the more laborious occupation?
Conversely, why did the Sethites prioritize reducing labor in the first place, even at the expense of non-human lives? Perhaps it was the will to
survive itself that precluded the Sethites from having the ethical judgment to avoid violence, thus causing them to view non-humans as mere expedient tools for human survival i.e. Goys?
So violence is caused not only by the will to survive in a harsh environment but rather by the will to survive itself for its own sake.

Any activity or object that stimulates emotion is strictly forbidden. Those in violation are labelled "Sense Offenders" and sentenced to death. The population is forced to take a daily injection of "Prozium II" to suppress emotion. Libria is governed by the Tetragrammaton Council, led by "Father", who communicates propaganda through giant video screens throughout the city.
