    This is generally the state’s military posture. They enact massively disproportionate collective punishment in response to any attack.

    Mass incarceration, cutting off resources like power, and military action are all used. It is extremely cruel and not likely to lead to deescalation.

      not likely to lead to deescalation.

      If I were a cynic I’d suggest that might, perhaps, be the point.
