That's what life is: life is gang warfare. Always has been, always will be. You allow your military and your police to do violence on your behalf, that's YOUR GANG (your country) doing it.
Without violence your country cannot exist, your family cannot exist, YOU cannot exist. All laws and rules in "civilized society" are enforced with violence. That's why we have police, that's why we have prisons. It's controlled violence. All morality is based in violence.
Pacifistic societies were tried, they didn't last long. People figured out many thousands of years ago that violence is absolutely necessary just in order to survive. The only reason why you can live a comfortable pacifistic lifestyle is because of other people doing violence on your behalf for your benefit. You are indirectly benefiting from violence.
