I'm reminded that there's a real-life "Lord of the Flies" that happened, but the boys on the island in real life actually ran an equitable and peaceful society
The Robbers Cave Experiment was a 1954 experiment pitting two groups of boys against one another. It was designed to show outgroup formation
Unmentioned: the reported "results" were from the 3rd experiment. In an earlier run, the boys ganged up on the experimenters instead

It takes a lot of effort to put people up against each other. The same was true for the Stanford prison experiment.
