I agree, about the public not really paying attention to what we do militarily in other parts of the world. However, haven't all the big civilizations of the world done the same? Romans, Greeks, British, and the US.
Didn't ancient tribes in America and in Africa always war with other tribes?
Maybe there is no such thing as civil. Maybe the closet thing is a world where every country is a true competent democracy.
- sparkie 13y agoI wasn't necessarily singling out the western world as the perpetrators, but meant that the entire human history has been plagued by war, deception and control. Our current system is just a continuation of it, and until we can break free from that history, I don't think we can call ourselves civil. I don't think every 'country' in the world being a competent democracy is that either, because a country is a spoil of war. Nations exist only in our heads - they don't exist in the physical, natural world at all. Part of my point about rebooting civilization without being tainted by our system is to eliminate such misconceptions from the social consciousness, or rather, not plant them to begin with.
