It’s more like you’re making bribery and traditional brainwashing obsolete. But if you just want someone dead, a gun is still the better tool.

Well, I’m thinking along the lines of Sun Tzu’s general philosophy of “Don’t kill needlessly.” It’s why China will never nuke Taiwan; they want its semiconductor factories and other resources, including human labor. Same with the US and Russia, perhaps… By the way, I am strictly in this scenario talking about military application, not merely home defense/individuals fighting. I could have clarified that from the start, I’m now realizing, so my mistake.
