if you take guns from the world you better take every weapon more powerful. even then we will be violent with every weapon less powerful until we are reduced to nuggets without arms or legs
were animals, weve been violent for 500 million years
Fair enough, no one should expect one issue to fix society as a whole
you take guns from the people, even if you managed to monopolize all projectile weapons in the world to governemnt control, you would simply make the power imbalance between people hinge on a badge and a loisense that states "im a good guy and theres nothing you can do about it now"
if your government just wants to make you weaker than the people the government says are allowed to be strong, then the government is a criminal organization
of course you have to have a baseline trust your government...
we ensure trust by having a balance of force
if i was living in Venezuela i would probably think differently 😉
no one should have blind trust in anything, not even themselves
blind trust is something different than having a baseline trust that your democracy works
democracys actually require more power to the people than other forms of government
obviously 😄
dictatorships are not really that high on the whole power to the people thing 😄
because democracys distribute responcibility for the direction and actions of the society among the people more directly than more autocratic systems. this requires more enforcement on the part of the people to ensure the governemnt acts in the intrest of the people because its ultimately more of them who are responcible for it, as such they require the power to do that, and that power enforced through ensurence of violence between people and state
you only have insurence of violence between people and state when the people or state can insure that they can successfuly enforce their whim on one another through violence
the state does this with a military and police force, the people do this through being an armed milita
the people also hold the country hostage from the state in a way because in order to deal with its own people the state risks collateral damage
There is a problem democracy has not learned to weight into its governmental systems adequately. Specialization in the age of Merchant Guilds was limited in contrast to today. A doctorate of philosophy covered every accrued field of knowledge. Today, that is not possible. It is not possible to have professional specialists weighted according to their value in a polity which is 99% ignorant of their specialty.
If Rose turns out to be a spy for the empire - everything ties together and makes sense.. and her character becomes awesome
was that the plumber commisar turned PR expert?
Trans character
the one who got all the abuse and deleted her instagram
was this in solo?
havent seen solo
she was trans?
her real name is tran 😛
Wouldn't really make sense if she was a spy. First Order succeeded, wouldn't she have gotten herself killed?
if its a normal spy only the top brass in the empire would know she was on their side
But she was on one of the ships of the fleet the First Order was shooting down.
Might make sense, after all if they kill the rebels then they never find their allies
thats why she had to stop finn .. but try not to kill him and blow her cover
If they let the rebels send out their signal then they can find and kill their allies
But again, if it wasn't for this side mission where they left the fleet, she would've been on one of the ships that the First Order was going to destroy.
By betraying this fleet she would've been killing herself.
You're looking for something that isn't there. It was just a badly written movie.
You're presuming that the empire wants her to survive
The loose ends aren't secret plot twists. They're just bad writing.
And what about her sister?
What sister?
