Then the alienated weak/poor people have little to lose in threatening and carrying out threats of destructive acts against the powerful "secure" people. Thus evolves a viscous cycle of insecurity, defensive actions, and offensive actions which feed on each other and lead the people and community into disintegrative technocratic paradigms for coping with security.
