 I am not ignoring reality. But fighting power with power has taken humanity nowhere. It has escalated thoughout the years. And repeating the same behaviour expecting different results is madness. I think that a lot of violence and criminality exists because since very young age we are conditioned and repressed to act in a way that allows the ones in power to control us. And people react differently to this conditioning. More and more people with personality disorders are spreading around the world, is insane. So the issue is not about defense, or weapons, that in future can have really nasty results. The issue is about building character and how we raise our childrens.  The amount of inbalance that exists in opportunities,  wealth distribution to name a few.
