We as a civilization are two missed meals away from chaos. When that happens, there will be those who eat and those who starve. Laws are just there to compress the variance of outcomes. Where as in the past you would've starved, today you just struggle to get by.

There is a long storied past of humans banding together. The "kill or be killed" narrative is just a narrative. Any examination of sociology, anthropology, and history shows a rich, long history of humans helping each other through peril, banding together in the toughest of times, and cooperating. It is by far our most recognizable trait as a species, and it appears in isolation whenever humans are together. I do not buy that there is some primitive animal culture that we will revert to if the Internet went down. There are humans who have never experienced "civilization", and they do not live in chaos and evil so I don't buy your argument at all.
