@dave That's really cool. Terrible analogy to country borders tho.
@Hyolobrika @dave Ehh, many reasons. Their "borders" probably change every few years if not more rapidly. They're set through mutual agreement and not through the authority of an elite. (Unless maybe if it's the pack leaders that "decide" on them, I dunno.) They're not actually guarded or enforced by structures. And so on.
Generally most nature/animal analogies suck IMO when it comes to social/political questions because humans are just too different.

How European to not acknowldge social hierachy but still follow it.
He's talking about wolves, not humans

How like a pot cat to...
Humans at a similar number to the wolf packs would act more like a tribe than a nation. There would be territorial borders, which would be less formally defined and less stable.
@jmw150 @Hyolobrika @dave That's partly true, but that's just the thing, isn't it? Wolves and other animals aren't intelligent enough to build nations, which changes everything drastically. A human nation isn't simply a scaled-up animal pack.
