Resources
Land, money, oil, gold.
We're really really good at killing each other for things that give us better things. It's kinda sad we haven't evolved passed war honestly

At its most simple far too many humans are just evil pieces of shite. They have justified thousands of reasons to hurt and kill other humans over the existence of time. We're simply a flawed creation at our core. It's sad, but rather simple

Y’all are brainwashed idiots.

Religion …. And everything else is a distant second.
A charismatic leader can convince people to do almost anything in the name of religion….and they won’t even question it.

Monkey killing, monkey killing monkey over
Pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys
Give them thumbs, they make a club
To beat their brother down
How they've survived so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here

Why is Genghis Khan telling me hi? Did the Mongols start rampaging bc they wanted some non-Mongolian women?

You don’t know anything about history apparently.

For me, it’s always been mayonnaise…

Resources, and little else.
Everything else comes later as means of justification.

(at least in one famous example... a thousand ships and all)
I hate when the term "tribalism" is used... it is natural. We are genetically developed to at least be wary, if not fearful and agressive towards, "others"... people not like us. It is one of the inherent (un-mutable) traits of human beings that drove our evolution and provided towards survival of the species.
If we can't frick it, kill it. Sometimes both. It's the original "au natural"

Power. Communists have killed more people than pretty much everything else you mentioned combined.

It’s power. And to sustain it you need resources, more and more resources. So oil this day and age is the top of the chain.

Historically my money is on religion. Followed by land.
