Since time immemorial, people have united to go off and slaughter men, women, elderly, and children, eliminating city after city, and not always for religion or physical necessity. Sometimes, it appears, just because they could. For the sheer exercise of power.
And then.... there's bloodlust. A not-so-careful reading of war accounts, from "The Iliad" forward, catalogues that unfortunate but all-too-real human failing.
For whatever reason, a species that can purposefully create firestorms and use nuclear bombs upon itself, has abdicated the right to surprise by its sanguinariness.
