Do you think violence is the supreme authority from which all other authorities derive?

Subtle violence and deceive.
Just like the Zionists in the book of the Protocol of the Elders of Zion.

No. It's more of a backup when all other more tactful solutions fail.
Certainly it has been used consistently, but we have always also consistently sought either alternative authorities or disguises for the use of violence. Afterall, *everyone* has access to the authority of violence.

well sam fisher knows what he's talking about
>>67095196
maybe if he was a good king
Yes. The threat of violence will do more than the prospect of reward. People run a lot faster when they're chased by a lion than if they're chasing a stack of money. Unless you're a Jew.

He carried the whole show with his presence.

well, the modern train of thought link legitimacy of rule with the will of the people being ruled - in other words democracy
it is something that sounds good but is rarely the case as the politicians very often maintain policies having a direct conflict with the will of the majority
so I would say de facto yes, OP is right
of course, it's the only reason the state holds any legitimacy. They will kill you if you step out of line

You should have dropped it sooner, since it was no well kept secret that he was going to die. What really bothers me about ASoIaF is that every time GRRM kills off a good character, there's nothing to fill the void left by that character. I just finished the 3rd book and I have absolutely zero motivation to read the next one.

Yes, that's why the government wants to have a monopoly on it.
>>67094944
It comes from God

Yes.
Acknowledging this isn't condoning it.
>Violence is not the answer, it is a question, and sometimes the answer is yes
No. Free will is.
Of course you can use your free will to be violent....

'no'

if he waited to become of age he would have been a fucking badass king

Or at the very least, threat of violence.

Can children be subordinate to their parent without a threat of violence?
>>67094944
no
but
right makes might
>>67094944
Yes it fucking is
The problem is that cuckold politicians won't commit to use the necessary amount. You can brute force anything, but once you're in you have to be all in or else you end up with a series of clusterfucks all over the world.
Russia has been doing it right for decades.
