Fortunately, the future holds better solutions.

I was speaking of the way govern-cement is set up to make it nearly impossible for the people to do anything against the govern-cement. Any bureaucrat can bring all kinds of problems to bear on any person, while that same bureaucrat is protected from any reprisals. It is the way govern-cement is set up.

That is neutering. And seems to be done, on purpose, from the beginning.

One of the most interesting things about the future is that defense becomes far, far better.
So, each tribe can have defense systems that make it very hard for anyone(s) to attack them.
