Military capitalism. I’m so retarded, I just made that connection. I sometimes don’t think there’s a world without war. It’s just been the norm for centuries. There are periods of peace, but I think I agree, that they’re only a means to new wars. Peace isn’t the goal, but struggle, evolution, innovation at all costs. When you’re in the game, you stay in the game. Hmm…Something about declaring neutrality or peace is annoying. It means acceptance of the status quo, right? And the whole migration of people to the U.S. seems to be a large sweeping generalization of defiance to the Motherland., it’s hard to imagine people who come here ‘fighting’ would become pacifists, especially not our leaders. Maybe something about taking on a leadership role implies you have to fight something! Take a stand for something. People will hate you more for being indifferent than for sticking to your guns, even if everyone disagrees with you. I don’t know. It’s full of gray.
