Arguments from human nature don’t hold water. Start from better premises.

When you only under the label of a logical fallacy rather than the content,you miss things like the fact that I did not hinge any arguments on "human nature". I described a well documented cycle that has repeated many times in history. Making a spurious comment about that pattern being human nature does not invalidate documented trends in history.

When history is basically the story of "And then this asshole did something that got a lot of people killed. Things settled down again until the next asshole." it is perfectly fair to label consistently repeating historic cycles as "human nature".

That said, I do commend you on using logic and recognizing fallacies. That's not an easy thing to do, but just in the attempt you're doing considerably better than most people.
