    Non-violent means to prevent violence should be cherished. It’s true, the US committed genocide against Native Americans. That is obviously morally wrong. We haven’t been doing that in the 20th or 21st centuries though.

    How exactly has the democracy prevented that? Elected politicians are beholden to the people, so they can’t go around killing all of their voters.

      The US has committed genocidal war against Koreans and Vietnamese and Afghans and Iraqis among others in the 20th and 21st centuries.
