“terminally different” does not mean “it’s hard enough to come to agreement that at least one party resorts to violence”.
Killing your enemies is pretty terminal.
(Historical footnote for visitors from the future: “today’s news” alluded to upthread refers to the Charlie Hebdo killings, a phrase which should be easily googleable for a long time to come.)
Sounds pretty obviously instrumental to me. “Why do you want to kill your enemies?” has pretty obvious answers. “so they won’t kill me”, “so I can take control of their resources”, etc.
And if you take those away, perhaps by making them unable to harm you, finding a way to take their stuff without killing them, etc, how much do you expect people to still care about killing their enemies?
