My point is that what you are saying is simply a convention that for most of us made sense for a long time.

I contend there do exist conditions under which that convention goes away. And at bottom we are all capable of violence.

Nobody has a monopoly on violence.

Might does not make right. But might does make policy.

The good people need wisdom and might, both. Then we will set policy and it won’t suck.

The world has to work for all its denizens and not just for the “top” (only in some sense, not in every sense) 0.01%.

I don’t want to build a gallows from which I myself will be hanged. I am not a masochist. I don’t hate myself.
