Wow. Don't let the Effa-Bee-Eye read this thread! OH NO!

(puts some aluminum foil on his head to repel all the 1984 vibes)

Hmm... horseshit or not, I still vote for that violence is the root of "power", "force", whatever alphabetic icon you assign it... from a strictly universal everything-we-have-once-was-this sense.

Example might be nature: A big mama bear doesn't really ask you nicely to stop eyeballing her cubs. You piss her off? You're going to get mauled.

I vote that primitive man didn't claw his way to the stable, Dr. Phil-ish, egalitarian, communication-based money-is-God society that we have today by being polite. He did it by killing some mofos and burning some villages.

...

I believe that most men are just beasts in fancy disguises.

What do we have if we take away society's grand illusion of life rules?

We have the jungle.

What's the law of the jungle?

...

What do I know? Not much.
