The State Protects the society as a whole and all of its members as individuals by providing the basic framework and legal structure for the largest number of individuals to live and work together in harmony. It also protects the society by protecting all of its members from external threats. External threats come in the form of armed aggressive by another state, by acts of violence against members of the state, by words or deeds that cause harm to large numbers of members of the society, or by acts of an economic or political nature that threaten the survival and well being of the state.

To counter these threats a State maintains military forces as needed to prevent these threats from becoming actual events, or should these events take place, the military forces are there to act to protect the state and all of its individuals from these external threats.

The State must also Protect the individuals of the society from individuals within the society who act in ways that harm the state or its individuals. To counter these threats and actions, the state has the Police, The Courts, and The prison system it uses to prey on those individuals within society who fail to support the interests of the society and its members.

Thus, the State protects the majority of the individuals within the State from both external and internal threats. The state must also maintain the State and that requires a group of individuals and groups of individuals to govern the State. To make law, to enforce laws, to make sure than the expenses incurred by the State are paid, etc.

The State is a Predator on the ndividuals who are part of the State. It must collect large amounts of money from all the individuasls of the State in order to support the government, the military, the criminal justice system.

It also preys on the individuals of the State by forcing them to adhere to certain standards of behavior that are conisdered “acceptable” by the State as a whole. For example, when a traffic light turns red, you are required to stop your car, if you fail to stop your car, you are subject to sanctions by the state, even if your action does not result in a collison. The number of things that the State forbids you from doing and will sanction you for doing them make up a very long list and that list changes from time to time. You are required by the State to keep up with those changes as “ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law.”

The State is both a Protecor in that it protects the individuals of the State and the State itself from internal and external threats to the exisence of the State and the indivieuals that make up the State. The State is also a Predator on the individuals of the State because they must pay the monetary price of having a State as well as obeying the laws that the State as a whole thinks necessary to the welfare of the State as a whole regardless of whether those laws have a positive or negative impact on the rights, freedoms or liberties of the the individuals within the State.

Some States are better Protectors that they are Predators. Some States are better Predators than they are Protectors. It is up to each individual to determine whether the State in which they reside is a better at being a Protector or a predator, and if the State is being too much of a Predator, perhaps the individuals that make up the State need to make changes in the State, or perhaps some other State will force that State to change because it has failed to be a proper Protector.

We as humans must accept this negative aspect of our species, and learn from what it does to our people. We cannot dwell on the prejudices of the past nor the hatred of today, we must ALL accept what has been and what now is as reality, so that we can ALL move on to the next step together. If you want to cling to hate, whether it’s expressing your own hate, or trying to point out the hate in others, then you will never be able to move beyond that ignorance.

People, go hit up a website that has uncensored videos of murders and deaths and executions, and you will see something very interesting when you peer into the empty skull of a dead human being. We all look different on the outside, but we’re all exactly the same on the inside. White bones, red blood, and pink flesh beneath our skin of whichever color.

Until we humans as a species can move beyond our petty and trivial differences, we will always be faced with hatred and war. You can either choose to live with it, or you can choose to move past it.

The choice is yours, no one can tell you how you should think or feel, and no one has the right to.
