What Is It

Posted on 06/07/2025 by Daniel

that you can allow yourself to be told what to do by one man? That 100,000 men will go to war to kill and to die on the orders of one leader? It is a very odd occurrence that demands discussion of how our animal selves i9nvade and take over reason. Overrides the survival instinct and places it in the most violent situation on purpose. People have to be persuaded from birth to agree that going to war (not defence but starting a war) is right and proper for them, is patriotic and beyond question, brave.

Men love war and women love warriors. Everyone one of us is involved in this madness and it is the cause of humanities greatest tragedy: we tolerate peace.
