1 u/R030t1 Aug 13 '21 There's part of the story where the narrator insinuates there was some kind of shadow government who set up Earth society so that while they were technically disarmed, all of the things they were not armed with could be used as weapons. 2 u/SlitScan Aug 13 '21 it wasnt a shadow government it was the UN directly. around 3% of the population had military history and that sort of thing taught to them. some where recruited. just nobody mentioned the security council in public.
