I don’t even get the point, there was no point in time of the history of Europe when its nations were not one of the major military powers of the world. So when was this beforetime when the “nations of Europe did not bear arms”? In the age of the Sumerian Empire?
Also, why don’t I see the original reply in the thread? I know my instance is defed’ed from grad and hexbear, but this was someone from ml, right?
People have armed themselves throughout history, even if just to protect themselves from non-human predators.
It doesn’t folow from this that we should give right-wing imperial governments a trillion euro from social programs to go fight Arabs and Africans.
You’ve got to analyse each situation. You can’t say, “There has been inequality throughout history, therefore we should cut taxes for the rich”. You can’t say, “There has been weapons throughout history, therefore we should cut social spending to give the UK a new aircraft carrier”

As far as not seeing the original reply, I don’t know enough about how it all works. I just know I like it here better than the r-place.
