We've all grown so comfortable in modern America that we forget that default state of human nature is subjugation and repression and has been for thousands of years.
Modern America is a historical anomaly. The powerful aren't peaceful by choice.
It's the SECOND amendment in the constitution for a reason.
- yoz-y 6y agoThere are a lot of countries where the populace isn't generally armed and they are doing just fine. It's not like America is the only free country out there.
- nickthemagicman 6y agoYeah a good part of the reason those countries aren't Chinese, German, or Russian provinces right now is America.

- nickthemagicman 6y agoThank you was going to post this. And sure..America's not perfect... but it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative!
- yoz-y 6y agoIf I recall correctly it was not the armed civilians that disembarked in Normandy.
- Bakary 6y agoThe number of prisoners per capita in the US is indeed an impressive anomaly
- nickthemagicman 6y agoThe number of laws that can put you in prison in America is an impressive anomaly as well. There was a commission from he government to find out how many laws existed in America and after years of looking into it they gave up and the final conclusion was that no one knows. Everyone looks to the government to solve their problems instead of solving it themselves.
