In trying not to be an ass you most certainly came to appear as one. The point of the topic Noex is to discuss war and it's affects on human civilization both negative and positive.
Look I dont mean to be an ass.. but might I suggest not posting a wall of text but offering a topic.. and then using those arguments because just reading a wall of text is 1) very boring and 2) takes forever to fully criticize
Theres a reason why it is called an endless waltz.. You kept citing history.. but you didnt really touch the subject of war, peace, revolution.
If humanity truly worked towards a singular goal.. then BY GOD we would have achieved anything that you could possibly imagine now.. but the world doesnt work like that... IF history teaches us anything its that...
But it also teaches us.. Revolution is the main factor that advances our race. We all know Peace leads to revolution which leads to war and ultimately peace again.
Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity. It is impossible and it is unnecessary. I know this is going to seem... very harsh but It isnt truly a war unless there has been revolution most of the things that pass as wars.. are INTENTLY misnamed.. biggest example is the war against terror. Why is that an important one? simple There is peace... Revolutionists or..TERRORISTScome along and then theres war.
Most CLAIMED WARS dont even pass as anything more then a CRISIS. But I digress... Peace costs nothing.. less than nothing.. Peace leads to complacency.. it leads to gluttony. It is.. for humanity as a race... the least viable way to to advance..
Since we have nothing better. This is the system. I wish there was something better but there isnt.
Oh and im sorry There is a way... a global threat that forces everyone to band together and stand against a common non human enemy.
