Video Games Cause Violence

A scapegoat mantra chanted by ultra-conservatives and the news media whenever a violent incident occurs in the United States
Just one of many forms of Americans shrugging off accountability.
Damn dude, did you see the news? Kyle got arrested for beating up an old woman at the Waffle House. His alcoholic mom just got interviewed by the local news. She was blaming Marilyn Manson and Minecraft, on that whole "video games cause violence" tangent. When is she going to wake up and see that her son has always been an asshole and she's had 27 years to do something about it?

monopoly on violence

The exclusive ability of a sovereign nation to control violence in order to enforce the law and maintain security. Ironically, a government does this by wielding the most force to back up its words.
The police kicked down the crack house door and served a search warrant after detaining the residents at gunpoint.
"That is what essentially sets a nation-state apart, which is the monopoly on violence." - President Obama
Soldiers are authorized to kill during war. Normally this is the highly illegal act of murder.

ultra violence

"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra violence."
-Alex DeLarge "a clockwork orange"

power violence

A loosely defined sub-style of hardcore which almost completely eschews traditional song structure in favor of an all-out blitz-speed musical attack. More well-known power violence bands include Infest, Spazz, and Scholastic Deth.
That band is more grindcore than power violence, but they use elements of both.
