I'd say that all these factions are indicative of the 'laws of nature'. Out in the wild do you ever see any other social creature create equal groups or equally distribute their food or resources between different social groups or even in the same group? You would be hard pressed to find human families who treat their cousins the same way they treat their siblings, or neighbors the way they treat their cousins. Because we are social we create social inequity. Social interaction itself is the giving and taking of trust (or deception) and ideas (or stupidity).
