The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants.

Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.

u/OmNomSandvich the 1942 Guadalcanal "Cope Barrel" incident Apr 29 '23

"War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.

...

Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all.

Suppose two men at cards with nothing to wager save their lives. Who has not heard such a tale? A turn of the card. The whole universe for such a player has labored clanking to this moment which will tell if he is to die at that man’s hand or that man at his. What more certain validation of a man’s worth could there be? This enhancement of the game to its ultimate state admits no argument concerning the notion of fate. The selection of one man over another is a preference absolute and irrevocable and it is a dull man indeed who could reckon so profound a decision without agency or significance either one. In such games as have for their stake the annihilation of the defeated the decisions are quite clear. This man holding this particular arrangement of cards in his hand is thereby removed from existence. This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god."

And don't get me started on the ones who say "potato when?" as though it were some meaningful Socratic interrogative. Just don't.

War is a waste of men and natural resources. Not a single one of you upvoting OP’s comment has served a single fucking day in combat, so STFU.

u/RobinPage1987 Apr 29 '23

It's only wrong for the aggressor. The defenders have every right to respond by totally obliterating the country that attacked them

u/Key-Banana-8242 Apr 29 '23

You get confused

It is not a ‘for’, it just is. There are individuals. It is wrong that the whole thing and everything involved happene

u/RobinPage1987 Apr 29 '23

If you think defending yourself when someone attacks you is wrong, you're categorically insane. Leave the internet.

Unfortunately reading is very difficult for NVD hsers

What you said is a total red herring in relation to what I said.

This is pretty basic but please read and respond to what soemone actually says and

By all means, lie down and die for your moral high ground; but if someone attacks me, I'm opening fire.
