My ancestors are awesome, and they didn't even have to make a bunch of babies orphans to be awesome.

Anyway, the other trolls here seem like they have their heads on straight to me, at least Aradia and Nepeta do. [She doesn't know most of the others well enough to say... except perhaps Karkat, but Karkat is a special case.] So maybe if they're not flipping there shit, they have their own good reasons for it. I don't think senseless violence is so great anyway, I don't care if you're human or an alien.
