History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes – Mark Twain
I find that reasons for war is not just manipulated circumstantial events, but an important part of our evolution as a species. We can’t just try to do away with war like Star Trek fans preach about in their fantasy world as if it is some animal we keep trying to keep as pets until it bites us. The thanatos of war may be important programming in our DNA and it serves a real purpose.
It isn’t just that we can’t be fully at peace because of cultural elements that exist right now that prevent us from coming to a solution (but goddamn that is pretty much the current reason if you’ve been paying attention), but I think it has to do with nature always keeping a natural balance.
What are we without any REAL conflict and only made up competition and games? Possibly then we will be a real species subject in mouse utopia. Destined for self termination because we were too successful without the work and evolution required to sustain a lasting peace, natural balance, successful state.
That isn’t to say we need an extinction level event with World War, but we need to keep ourselves in the grinder to remove the roughness and to be sharp enough to become a legit space faring civilization. Pray not that we end all war, but that the next war is the right one that makes us independent of the need for future wars with ourselves.
Now if you are still thinking I’m being pretentious and feel what I’m saying is too pessimistic. Then consider this, isn’t it true the current moral and legal bindings we have to prevent regular citizens to engage in social violence has been taken advantage of by the corrupt and power hungry?
Haven’t we made the powder keg we are looking at now because “momma said violence doesn’t solve everything” and we let people like say George Soros get away with reaching such power and corrupting our government and now corrupting other global governments?
Some of you may not know but there was a cultural aspect of the American Revolutionary generation that was known to have gotten corrupt politicians and tar and feather them (in other words torture and have them die painful death from burns) and look at how the corrupt fled public government. The law was taken into their own hands. There was no punishment for torturing and killing the corrupt.
Then there was the Battle of Athens Tennessee after World War 2 that today would be demonized by the media as “right wing extremist”, but back then the attackers won back their ability to have an honest election. People knew it had to be done, and the media did not interfere with their good men taking care of business.
It may very well be that violence in itself isn’t bad, it may be that good people that are honest and just are not the ones organizing violence acts which causes larger build ups that eventually lead up to Great Wars. We need to let good and honest men take care of business.
The state can’t be the only one responsible for committing violent acts. It has to be good people in a society in charge. Not paid cops, not some paid agent who’s boss is subject to political whims and pressure. It has to be like for instance the guys on MGTOW who know marriage courts are kangaroo courts, unjust, and need to be eliminated. We need to let ourselves be legally empowered to take out the trash permanently. Otherwise you have what is going on in Eurape with the refugees, you have Clinton and Obama creating massive geo-political problems for corrupt and stupid purposes.
When the age of space exploration explodes, we need to have to be able to have the knowledge of what makes us a successful species in other worlds. And what may be scary is that “war” or at least “controlled violence and struggles” may be a part of it. Good men can not be neutered from removing bad eggs in society.
