Like people will try to ask for specifics but there are so many tribes that all end up repeating the same social dynamics of "Do whatever the fuck you want there's enough food for everyone so we only really fight over women and/or cows, and it's mostly just ritualized posturing."

it's the 2nd amendment though. who's we?
-
the 2nd amendment is the anti-warlordism clause of the constitution. it's the answer to who watches the watchmen.
