    I don't feel like fleshing this out, but violence (with the exception of state-sanctioned violence or superheroes) is seen as reactionary, wrong, and for dumb people 100% of the time. When do you see an average person using righteous violence in popular media? They have to be smarter or sneakier or funnier or something, but stronger/more violent is seen as wrong. But we love watching historical texts of violence (Game of Thrones, etc).

      Pop culture has no problem glorifying righteous violence as long as it is used against "criminals" or "terrorists".

      Game of thrones is not a historical text.

      I couldn't stop myself, it was this or have a stroke

        Yes it is. I watched it in the past. Therefore it is history.

      Yeah but how did we get like this. How was society successfully manipulated to be so damn docile

        widespread rentiership is a relatively new development, between the New Deal and Reagan it was pretty easy for the average working class American to buy their own home
