"But surely there have been war centric societies in the past"
Yes but they did not have tubes and transistors and vidscreens. Americans did. And they were the first to have it, (after the Germans of course, but Germanys supersoldier society program was killed in its crib).

These things could of course be used to promote pacifist cooperation through programming as well, and they are, though to what degree is not clear.

Looney Tunes and the Walt Disney Company created more soldiers than any program before in history imo, through their pro-war propaganda which seeded itself in peoples minds.

@Jazzy_Butts just wait until all americans have to do a government mandated cut. This dirty bulk is gonna make an army of ogres.

Army should have a system to turn obese people into giants.

@Jazzy_Butts I mean, Sparta. Americans are pretty war centric, but we haven't reached "throw people who can't or won't fight into the wilderness to fend for themselves" levels of war centric. But I mean, the Spartans beat us to letting women divorce their husbands and own property too, so it might just be a matter of time.

@Sudodeme omg they even had the hot gay sex...lgbtq icons
