Every state overtly chose at inception Rule of law
Not Rule by Force

Ever since then RbF guy have been trying to add in exceptions to legitimize the use of force
Adding complications to leave room for interpretation of rules/laws is a classic good ol boy scheme, great for the guild of lawyers :D The ends never justify the means
There can be the rare situation where force has to be met with force, it's the unnecessary use/escalation where it goes wrong

The rules & who gets to write/enforce them determine the winners.
The donor class decides who the candidates are, money being speech & all We outsourced the a big chunk of the election process to the parties to avoid raising taxes to pay for elections.
The thought was the party fanatics would work for free.
No one ever works for free. The pay is influence, future consideration for decisions...

I'm agnostic
There simply isn't enough information to declare with certainty our origins or how it all got set in motion
It's ok for a question to remain a question
There is only one meaningful moral tenet
Don't be a dick
Don't do things to others you wouldn't want to have happen to you
As exemplified by
