Had we been competent, we wouldn’t be besieged.

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”

Sure, whatever. Soy laden preppy hipsters probably think so.

That’s right.

Working hard, getting along with others via the art of compromise, self sacrifice, even turning the other cheek when necessary …. this requires one to be competent.

The incompetent, by definition, sorely lack some or all of these virtues.

Hence, violence is more often than not their FIRST REFUGE. Umm, just look at the MIC in the USA!USA!USA!
