Those who think the kill culture is the way to go, are either very limited in the ability to negotiate or to find diplomacy and settling of disagreements. Strength comes to those who can wield words more than stones.
In "The Art of War," the supreme art is often described as subduing the enemy without fighting. This can be achieved through strategic use of words, alliances, and psychological tactics

The problem is that these measures have mostly been prohibited so what are you left with?
Words are not going to stop these people.
Once I started hearing "press 1 for Spanish" on every phone call to a business I knew we were screwed.
