body | "I think you limit your guide too severely. For the majority of the duration of humanity, prehistory is a better guide. Only since the advent of centralization and institutions have written records been kept, and this is the limit of history.
During prehistory, centralization was far more limited, and leaders weren't able to be very parasitic. The advent of the city and state is when parasitism really took off, mostly due to agriculture. It is notable that the advent of agriculture, very counterintuitively, has been shown to have degraded the nutritional state of prehistoric individuals we have remains of, and the only possible reason for that is parasitism by 'leaders' of the product of the ordinary folks.
For the last few millenia, history, we see the increase in centralization, and parasitization of humanity.
Now technology across all fields, in literally every field of industry and commerce you can name, commonly and ubiquitously, advances at the bleeding edge in decentralization. Decentralization improves the efficiency and profitability of every.single.technology there is.
Now, while stone age farmers were kept on the reservation because they could not provide nominal security otherwise, and malnourishment was better than being scalped, security technology is exactly like all others today in that it is advancing by being decentralized.
For example, cruise missiles today are one of the examples of advanced security technology. They cost about ~$1M/each for the USG to buy. Some years ago I found a youboob vid that showed an Australian guy that had built a cruise missile in his garage (using a pulse jet for propulsion. Very noisy) for ~$5k. That's a 200 times increase in efficiency.
I will also point out that the USG taking that guy out with a cruise missile is a bad, bad idea, because it'd take out his neighbors too. However, the neighborhood resisting oppression by centralized government by shooting cruise missiles at the capitol, or concentrations of troops, is excellent tactically.
More than almost any other technology, security is improved for individuals by decentralization.
We are not going to need armies to protect our scalps, like stone age farmers did. Armies are soon going to be fucked.
This is not optimism. It's just physics, and, unless humanity becomes extinct, cannot be prevented from happening. It can be delayed, and oh boy, is it, but clever monkeys tinker, and always will, which is how we got here, and even if we end up in the stone age again, we'll get here again.
I actually think we have before, but that's another wall of text.
It is useful to consider why firearms are the go to arm for cops and soldiers. First, gunpowder and guns are ~1000 years old, and are really, really obsolete technologically. Clearly, cruise missiles are far superior at killing people. Cops, though, can't kick down your door at 5am and drag you down to a dungeon downtown to rough you up and make you pay your taxes packing a cruise missile, and this is why they carry guns.
They're not trying to kill you. They're after enslaving you. Cruise missiles aren't useful to slavers, nor are nukes, or drones. Slavers need armed gangs of thugs, and for that firearms are the optimal tech.
Obsolete as hell. Drones, nukes, cruise missiles, and on and on, more advanced security tech is super effective at killing cops and soldiers, and preventing being enslaved.
What's keeping us in line is censorship and propaganda.
This too shall pass.
