History 101. When we lived in caves and mud huts and nipped out to kill an animal for dinner there were some who didn't want to fight mamoths. They got thier relatives and friends and formed "a village" which then bullied others into hunting for them. Some villages chose to eat other people etc.
Well those others didn't like it much and those families affected would get to geather and go kick the arses of the bullies.
The bullies didn't like that much and so built walls and better wepons and bigger gangs and came back for a rematch.
It tended to be a case of needing to wipe out the person you attacked and the family and friends and the rest of the village.
Soon there were no single units and just villages. Villages got bigger and built walls. They were now called towns and cities. They grew by traiding and being "nice". Eventiually by power of the word or the sword or both these unit cities become countries and assembled standing armies so they could go kick the arses of the other armies...
Eventually they invented guns and bombs and other bombs...
Then they invented the internet and realised the problem had never been solved.
Actually lots of that is bollox but the point is clear enough I hope. Maybe if we formed villages of "nice guys" and refused to feed the trolls?
I think I might expand on this in my own blog. Drop by and let's talk ideas some more.
