Did you know that the past century has been 50 genocides? Widely known one, the Holocaust. Anyone now remembers about Myrrh? And about Cambodia? There is a very well-known researcher Evan Straub, who was involved in the genocide. For the study, he took four well-known typical example: two, when one nation kills another one, and two, when a nation kills its. He took the Jews and the Armenians, and Argentina and Cambodia. I could not understand his logic, but then I figured it out: all black and white. Without impurities. Some Khmer kill other Khmer... We don't particularly like to talk about Amin, but when you start to ask the Afghans themselves, it appears that the party leader Hafizullah Amin conducted a sociological study and found that people over the age of 19 believe that the king fared better. Then we don't need people over the age of nineteen. The massacre started. Fortunately, he was quickly overthrown, and the second has not happened.

It seems that Camus has said, people who vote for the Communists in Paris, not so fond of the inhabitants of Moscow, as I hate the people of Paris. In Russia, many hate themselves, neighbors and country. Conveniently blamed on other own failure and worthlessness. We have a lot of people who do not fit into the new reality: Russia is in some sense unique during the lifetime of one generation she has gone from one formation to another. While still we have no answer to the question, was it fair shared the wealth - and some get rich while others grew poor. This, again, leads to resentment and aggression. Of adds fuel to the fire TV, showing the life of the rich, successful. People feel like failures, angry.

Take the same Russian Empire: army, commanded by Michael Andreas Barclay de Tolly, the chief of police, responsible for national security, was Alexander Khristoforovich benckendorff. People understand that it is not the matter of nationality. Once the Imperial way of thinking fails, there comes the collapse of the Empire. So in this respect we have an ideal country for field research.

Aggression is reasoned to cause harm. <...> the Word "motivated" is very important: aggressive action is always intentional, and not accidental. Therefore, even inaction - for example, when a man who knows how to swim, sitting and watching as someone is drowning, is an act of aggression. Violence also reasoned action, however, it does not harm, and coercion. We are all to some extent victims of violence: parents drove us to school, taught to tie shoelaces, use a knife and fork. All of this was imposed on us, even the best of intentions.
