Civilization versus Savagery

Outcasts and anarchists are not new problems for society. Their handling is a very old moral dilemmas for governments, what to do with people that reject society?

Easy. Anyone that openly rejects civilization does not need any protection from society. That is the way it was done. That is the way they want it. Civilization should not feel uneasy when dealing with anti-civilization elements harshly. It is the way civilization has survived. The problem will never go away. Everyone is given a choice to work within society or reject it and rebel. It is a conscious choice made knowing the consequences.






Before these two disaffected people there was Louis Riel:

Louis Riel had real grievances with how his people the Metis were treated by the government of the time.  He won election to the government and refused to take his seat in Parliament.  He could have advocated for his people through legal means and yet he chose instead to take over.  Riel refused to recognize the government, led a group of insurrectionists against society, and killed a prisoner to be taken seriously by the government.



He executed a prisoner and called it, "a good thing".



He led a provisional government.


Riel and his rebellion was fought to defeat and dissolution. Riel was caught, tried, and executed. 

Society must rise up and defeat radicals.
