Am I just supposed to sit there and watch as all sort of injustices are taking place everywhere? What can a person do to make this world slightly better?
Ensure the people who would be massacred have the means to defend themselves.
A person’s self interest is more reliable than rules and treaties. A weapon in a person’s hands makes it impossible to hurt that person without yourself being hurt.
This is why after thousands of years of bloodshed and injustice, some very concerned thinkers decided it is a human right to be armed.
Most rulers will not care about this. Some people of their armies being killed is not part of their self interest.
In fact I can even give you some examples of rulers starting wars against countries being able to defend themselves, even though they knew they would have losses.
