White people were able to slowly evolve their technology to the point we made weapons such as the rifle.
But the most important step along this road was whites level of empathy. We had empathy, many would say TOO MUCH A EMPATHY, for those around us.
Whites have so much empathy they tossed leaflets in areas of conflict before dropping bombs. Such as in Japan.
A society that did NOT develop weapon technology naturally is probably a culture which has a lower level of empathy.
Examples exist all over the world, with what happens when guns were first sold to africans and even then and now, sold to jews/israelis. African tribal war lords continue to behave like they did 2000 years ago with massive killings and rapes with the only difference being more and better/more powerful weapons. Ao ofcourse the damage and deaths will be greater.
It is almost like advanced weapons, those which use small explosive charges to propel a bullet are advanced enough for this, can be used as a litmus test to the societys evolved (or not evolved) level of empathy.

A year ago, with a rubber bullet. Someone's manipulating emotions here. Not sure if it's you or whomever pushed this to you.
