POLITICS

[SchnidlersLeest]

I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, I'm saying the data shows that the more a populace relinquishes its needs for violence to the government, the less violence there is on the whole.

Still, if they're passing over their "need" for violence to the government, logically that just piles up into something far deadlier than had each person not have the powers of armies and nuclear weapons. Of course the government acts in accordance to the exact opposite of what people need. People need freedom. :p

I think it's an important question as to why a society would have a need for violence in the first place, if that claim is even true to begin with.
