"[Individual freedom and personal responsibility; small, limited-power government versus large, unlimited-power (i.e. statist - whether socialist, communist of fascist) government:] If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They’ll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
Dwight David ‘Ike’ Eisenhower was an American military officer and statesman who served as the 34th president of the United States from 1953 to 1961. During World War II, he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe and achieved the five-star rank of General of the Army.

"[Life-skills; Morality and ethics – the social contract to provide individual freedom from force and fraud:-] The world is not sufficiently aware of the influence that sophistry exerts over it. When the rule of the stronger [force] was overthrown, sophistry [fraud] transferred the empire to the more subtle, and it would be hard to say which of these two tyrants has been the more disastrous for mankind. Men have an immoderate love of pleasure, influence, prestige, power -- in a word, wealth. And, at the same time, they are driven by a powerful impulse to obtain these things for themselves at the expense of others. But these others, who constitute the public, are impelled no less powerfully to keep what they have acquired, provided that they can and that they know how. Plunder, which plays such an important role in the affairs of the world, has but two instruments: force and fraud, and two impediments courage and knowledge." - Frederic Bastiat

"[Government by consent of the governed through a social contract-constitution; Limited small government versus unlimited, large government; Law and order; Morality and ethics – freedom from force and fraud:] The moral philosophy of not using force or fraud to physically hurt someone or their extended ‘physical self’ in the form of their ‘property’ is a useful and workable base foundation for a social contract that could regulate a ‘libertarian’ - maximum individual freedom society. It could only be physical hurt rather than including emotional hurt too because physical hurt is easy to see and therefore choose to avoid on the one hand and punish on the other, while if emotional hurt was included then at any time and following any behaviour anyone could be and or claim emotional hurt and no-one could know beforehand or disagree and therefore it would be indeterminable and therefore unenforceable. So the emotional hurt would need to be something that while not condoned was accepted as the price for the maximum of individual freedom, and then up to each individual to manage their response within themselves and others to be only non-physical. Then beyond that social life and meeting individual and group needs would be a matter of information, persuasion and personal, informed voluntary choice. Empathetic altruism could still be a personal or group choice but it could not be dictated by force or fraud by individuals, or groups – including religions and governments unless also decided as part of the social contract or ‘constitution’, which would need to include the regularly re-confirmed, voluntary informed consent of all those covered by that constitution – or an agreed upon majority or group, etc., as detailed and agreed by that constitution with agreed methods of judging transgressions and enforcing punishment and re-education, solving disagreements and changing that social constitution-contract-agreement." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

"[Morality and ethics; libertarian philosophy; Individual freedom of informed choice and personal responsibility unless otherwise agreed in some sort of social, political process:-] Why not ... hold that some persons have to bear some costs that benefit other persons more, for the sake of the overall social good? But there is no social entity [family, corporation, class, race, society, country, etc] with a good that undergoes some sacrifice for its own good. There are only individual people, different individual people, with their own individual lives. Using one of these people for the benefit of others, uses him and benefits others. Nothing more. ... He does not get some overbalancing good from his sacrifice, and no one is entitled to force this upon him [without his informed consent] -- least of all a state or government that claims his allegiance ... and that therefore scrupulously must be neutral between its citizens. [i.e. - A social contract where we agree that everyone deserves equal freedom from force and fraud to maximise their individual freedom and personal responsibility to pursue life, liberty, happiness and property. That is unless something else is agreed to for example in a social contract where everyone agrees to say regularly democratically vote on what the rules of the social contract will be directly or through a representative, etc.]" - Robert Nozick

"[Martial Arts and Self-Defense/Self-Defence; War is when civilization’s moral and ethical social contract for association so long as it is free from force and fraud is reversed and force and fraud-propaganda becomes the implicit – never explicit – rule - for all sides - both within and outside the society to win the hearts and minds, treasure and blood, of the citizens and to manipulate and attack psychologically, emotionally and physically those the society is fighting against:]
War Propaganda Principles:
1-We do not want war.
2-The opposite party alone is guilty of war.
3-The enemy is inherently evil and resembles the devil.
4-We defend a noble cause, not our own interests.(Just war theory)
5-The enemy commits atrocities on purpose; our mishaps are involuntary.
6-The enemy uses forbidden weapons.
7-We suffer small losses, those of the enemy are enormous.
8-Recognized artists and intellectuals back our cause.
9-Our cause is sacred.
10-All who doubt our propaganda are traitors.
" - Anne Morelli
She systematised the essential propaganda techniques described in the 1928 book by Arthur Ponsonby, ‘Falsehood in War-time, Containing an Assortment of Lies Circulated Throughout the Nations During the Great War’, in her book ‘Elementaires De Propagande De Guerre’. Morelli explains how these principles not only worked during the First World War, but were also applied in wars into 2001.

The morale of civilians, as well as of soldiers, must be kept up to the mark. The War Offices, Admiralties, and Air Ministries look after the military side. Departments have to be created to see to the psychological side. People must never be allowed to become despondent; so victories must be exaggerated and defeats, if not concealed, at any rate minimized, and the stimulus of indignation, horror, and hatred must be assiduously and continuously pumped into the public mind by means of ‘propaganda’." - Arthur Ponsonby

Facts must be distorted, relevant circumstances concealed and a picture presented which by its crude colouring will persuade the ignorant people that their Government is blameless, their cause is righteous, and that the indisputable wickedness of the enemy has been proved beyond question. A moment’s reflection would tell any reasonable person that such obvious bias cannot possibly represent the truth. But the moment’s reflection is not allowed; lies are circulated with great rapidity. The unthinking mass accept them and by their excitement sway the rest. The amount of rubbish and humbug that pass under the name of patriotism in war-time in all countries is sufficient to make decent people blush when they are subsequently disillusioned." - Arthur Ponsonby

"[Morality and ethics; equal reciprocity; ‘the Golden Rule of treating others as you’d like to be treated’; Emotions and actions are contagious; Life is a mirror - what you show it, it will show you back:] The concept of revenge is as old as history. Almost since the dawn of recorded history, humans have had the desire to exact vengeance on others who have wronged us. For example, The Code of Hammurabi, the code of law from the sixth king of Babylon, was implemented about 1760 C.E., making it the oldest recorded set of laws in human history. The code is rooted firmly in the belief in an eye for an eye; in fact, that’s almost exactly how the concept was phrased.
The Code of Hammurabi marked the official beginning of standardized revenge. It informs our way of thinking today. Indeed, our modern legal system is based on society’s ability to carry out revenge against those who break its laws [rather than the individual’s involved doing the reciprocal revenge - which seems to perpetuate tit-for-tat retribution endlessly].
Yet our thirst for vengeance goes far beyond the social contract. The desire to see harm befall those who wrong us begins on a very personal level, within the brain of the victim. Neuroscientists have found that the dorsal striatum, a part of the brain responsible for reward, also governs revenge.
[Vladimir Dinets, an Adjunct Lecturer, in Zoology, at the Kean University, whose research focuses on animal behaviour, states that ‘Yes, animals do practice revenge. Chimps do it, for example. Macaques do it, too, although not directly: if they cannot attack the offender because he is much stronger, they would hurt someone weaker instead, sometimes the attacker’s relative.’]" - howstuffworks.com
[Refer https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-events/10-biggest-cases-of-revenge.htm
