    Your grandpa 95% beat his wife too, hell even your dad depending on your age. Progress is something that happens in times of peace.

    Occupying and colonizing only ever stalls that progress. See Afghanistan as example.

      Man, I love comparing individual violence against a state that enforces a strict legal gender apartheid.

      The USSR had more progressive laws during their civil war than in peace times under Stalin. It’s a leadership question, not a peace question.

      Yeah, no. Growth is achieved only through adversity. Take the US, for example. Keep things “peaceful”, you get a complacent population that manages to elect an orange rapid monkey into office. That’s progress? Sure buddy…
