Part of the irony being that even if it were true, there is no reason to make assumptions about human behavior and social structure based on other animals, especially… wild canines? Wtf? There’s a lot of different pack/grouping types throughout the animal kingdom—if anything it would make sense to compare humans to other apes, but at the end of the day it’s still a totally different species that also lacks the social complexity as well as culture and lifestyles humans are capable of because of our higher intelligence. We have some really fucking stupid cultural hang-ups

Inside you there are two wolves, my friend. One is society and the other is society. We live in a society.

More like:

"Inside of you, there are 2 apes:

One is a Chimpanzee, who wants to throw its shit at everything, and kill and dismembered anyone that has mildly inconvenienced you.

The other one is a Bonobo, who just wants to chill out, and maybe fuck to let all those frustrations out (and maybe kill and dismember the ape that's hoarding all the food and resources for itself)."
