          Maybe… if there was an easy way to avoid them that wasn’t taken. But I’m not sure I’d say that applies to all of them. Sometimes you have to defend yourself. It gets muddy because the con artists will often cry self self defense when they are the aggressors.

      War has always been a racket, since long before the west was a thing.

      Killing people so you can take their stuff dates back to at least our last common ancenstor with chimpanzees.
