No, I think that the cult of arbitrary violence, that invented the mental aberration of calling a skill of killing other humans 'art', has the same root and that is why it is being promoted in our time by totalitarian regimes based on violence.

But it's not *arbitrary* violence, is it? It's constrained by technique and rules the same way art is constrained by its medium.

Yes, let's discuss the rules of the football that we will be playing with the heads cut off from our 'enemies' shoulders now.

If you see these people who are 'practicing martial arts' you instantly realize that they are worshiping violence, destruction and domination. Those are the same pillars that fascism had and has.
Fascism is not a 'political movement', and has never been. It's a cult.

Also, Aztecs, playing football with the heads of their conquered enemies out of the joy of 'victory', were a good example of the eternal cult of violence and death. We all know how it ended...

Violence and domination are intrinsic to our being: within everyone dwells the animus dominandi. Even now, your moralizing is a sly attempt to gain an upper hand over others in an arena of your preference.
