TikTok trend where gun owners LARP that someone broke into their house and they finally get to kill a person like they’ve always wanted pic.twitter.com/kWNXczAkhh— Rafi (@rafi_dot_net) June 25, 2021
Used to be, warriors were valued in society. We used to use up people like this like tissue paper. There would be wars, and our warriors would be killed off and unable to do crap like this. It was good for everyone.
Now, they've got nowhere to go. Oh, the military...soldiering isn't warrioring. Soldiering is a profession, with colleges and stuff. Now we're stuck with them, and there hasn't been a war on our continent since Pancho Villa shot all those people.
We should bring back gladiator fights and channel all punisher skull energy into them. It should be the ultimate dudebro aspiration and libertarians must be collectively shamed as babymen until they participate. If one survives, we should bring back gladiator reenactments of sea battles where everyone dies.
To me it's just a more honest version of American football. If we're going to take impoverished children and chew them up in a brain and body damage machine for a tiny chance at a 6 figure salary, don't obscure that. Let's replace the toxic neocolonialism of that with all of the anime nazis and see if they can really use their sword collection.
Seems like you're romanticizing the past. I don't think the warrior cultures of old were good for everyone, many aspects of them seem like they were pretty crap to be honest!
It's not romanticizing. I'm saying we had a system by which we got rid of these people. Now, we're so civilized we did away with it, without thinking about what we were going to do with these people afterwards. Now we're stuck with them. It's not romanticizing to say we used to feed them to machine guns and maquahuitl, and nobody missed them afterwards.
I'm questioning your assumption that "these people" are an inherent subset of the population, who are distinct from the rest of the population, who you can identify throughout history, and who society needs systems to "get rid of". It seems like pseudoscientific speculation, unmoored in biology, psychology, or history.
