Not only is it not bullshit, but you've just summarized millions of years of habitat on Planet Earth.

Every moderately sophisticated creature protects its territory from inundation by outsiders.

Most moderately sophisticated creatures also use violence and murder to settle disagreements. Are you sure you want to do everything moderately sophisticated creatures do? Or use their actions to justify human actions?

Why, no, I don't! Why don't you and 17 of your friends make my livingroom your home.

Just because something is/was a certain way does not mean it should stay that way. There are a lot of things that exist in a certain state that should definitely change, so implying that something is fine because it’s always been that way is a bit fallacious.

Not letting others walk over you definitely isn't going away.
