Oh! My mistake! You're new to this planet and its indigenous species. They REALLY like war! As a matter of fact it drives most of its math and science.
Here, stick this in your ship's AI and ask it to make a ratio between war and peace:

They even make entertainments of it!

None of this invalidates my last statement. Europe hasn't had a war between EU members since it was founded. But it also has nothing to with my argument against using violent means in a half-working democracy when it comes to CEOs and individuals alike. And even in situation where wars are used I would say in most cases its not really a good answer since it comes at great costs
That's an odd choice. WWI and WWII started in Europe. What does the EU have to do with anything? Because you picked some arbitrary cutoff point that's supposed to mean anything?
Internally the EU has been a strong diplomatic success. I'm showing that violence shouldn't be the only option for change because its not. Comparing civil infighting with state wars was very arbitrary to begin with
You say its not the answer then what is the answer? The people making the laws have failed us. Any form of peaceful protests dont work. People are suffering and being killed.
Violence is a last resort yes and brother we are out of all the other resorts unfortunately. Its not the people’s fault to resort to violence but rather the oppressors that give no other option so if you want to be mad at someone be mad at them.
I mean i wish everyone well. I fear that violence will not lead to the desired outcome. Once violence is normalized and things run their way the cat is out the box. And its possible you can't contain things. People online like here are pretty radicalized. Many speak out but most don't act for the fear of repercussions. I think change takes time and effort. I believe at least some Jan 6th protestors believed what they were doing was right and justified. The way people are reacting with my calls for levelheadedness makes me think they are another side of the same radical coin.
