In this age of the rule of brute force, it is almost impossible for anyone to believe that any one else could possibly reject the law of the final supremacy of brute force

Summary

This quote suggests that in a society defined by the dominance of force and power, it becomes difficult for individuals to conceive that anyone would oppose or resist the notion that force and power are the ultimate determining factors. In such an environment, the belief in an alternative, peaceful approach or a rejection of the idea of escalated violence seems implausible to people accustomed to the prevailing culture of brutality.
