Not resorting to those two things does indeed sound more humane than doing so.


One would think so, however that wasn't always the case. Some plains indian tribes developed a rather sadistic form of warfare over the ages. Instead of arrows or other sharp edged weapons they preferred blunt weapons like clubs and mauls. Sounds more humane right? Wrong. The goal was not to kill your opponent, the goal was to maim them. This way they would be a burden to their families, as disabled people don't fit well into a nomadic society. They were trusting on familial ties to weaken the other tribe.

Obviously this anecdote shouldn't be used to say they are as bad or worse than Europeans, they were not. However there were some practices and specific groups who were specifically inhumane.

Right vs privilege


a right for citizens only, and even then in some states citizens who are not felons. When ~one in 10 people ish are not citizens in our land, it makes sense to ask for an id or licence to show you're eligible as a citizen. I have a right to a firearm, I still have to show an ID and register among other stipulations.

Democrats welcome voter fraud since they seem to benefit the most from it.
