Do even the deepest most isolated rainforest tribes must have their fair share of petty local officials doing their best to make other people’s lives a misery in an attempt to claw their way up the power ladder?

The best tribes — by which I mean any kind of human grouping, from literal tribespeople all the way up* to M1+PM+5xSWEs — are the ones with skilled administrators capable of negotiating compromise over conflict. I wish I was better at it, myself.
