"The individuals who create good things are not given to carnage to become the boss to enslave others."

You've got to be kidding. Visited a mining operation in Malaysia lately? How about a slave labor factory just about anywhere in the third world (supplying us in the first world.) Talk about carnage and enslavement. Or course we are given to carnage to enslave others, we just do it bureaucratically and systematically, and it's less noticeable than head hacking- but it probably hurts a lot more people.

People who "create good things" are more than happy to kill people for them if they can get away with it. My grandmother worked in the mills back at the turn of the century. They were happy to lock the women in, and they used very young children- who frequently tired, and sufferred maimings. You will remember many of these individuals were happy to hire Pinkertons and other individuals who would prevent unionization- by whatever carnage necessary. This is still true in much of the world. That is carnage and enslavement.
