Hey, man... not all of us get off to the theme the Beatles guy touts in "Imagine."
Quote above? Human nature in action, I'd say. We are combative creatures by design and thus it would seem only logical that a good portion of our kind would indulge in such fantasies in a world where the reality is socially unacceptable at best. What is fantasy but merely an extension of our animal desire to fight, to dominate, to survive.
Somebody define the human condition for me. Plenty of violence in that story.
Biological processes are often violent things and we're nothing more than a supremely pretentious biological process.
