So I was watching Lord of the Rings (while I work, I don't have that kind of time to waste!) and I recalled something from a recent episode of The Survival Podcast with jackspirko (npub1587…kv0n). Don't recall which episode it was, or whether Jack said it or a guest, but it was a point that I'd never even considered and the crux of it was this:

Not so long ago, if someone wanted to instigate war, they couldn't just start chucking warheads at another nation, they had to go find 100,000 or so men who also 'believed in' the reasoning enough to leave their homes and go fight a war. If they didn't find those people, there was no war.

How many wars would we see now if that was still the case?
