>On one hand, war and violence kill off the most violent people in society
This sounds very counter-intuitive to me! Interesting if true. I get that two war parties going at each other would result in some violent people dying. But I am not sure bravery and violence are always locked together, and it would also seem that a relatively small group of very violent people could kill a very large group of non-violent people.

- lazide 3y agoYou mean 10's of millions of natives?
- nradov 3y agoThe Spanish invaders relied as much on diplomacy as on violence. They formed alliances with local groups who were opposed to the Aztec and Inca empires.
- cracrecry 3y agoYou mean hundreds of Spanish soldiers with superior technology allied with tribes that were subjugated and enslaved by other Native American tribes? The Spaniards did not do it alone. This is a fact very easy to prove. It always shocks me to see people in North America complaining about Spaniards, when in North America there is less than 1% native Americans, the rest were exterminated, ethnic cleansed. In most hispanic countries, native and mixed people are over 70% of the population.
