War is hell - each casualty bids farewell to a wholely unique treasure from
this world - war is hell - there is nothing that cannot be resolved with
words. And yet we fight, and yet we pillage. War is hell, and those who demand
it must do so only to resist evil, elemental evil, the kind that wars on the
innocent and pillages the bounteous. War is hell. Fucking kill the ones who
make it.

War is the game of states. Violence is the trade of the [survival of the

"ah but what about false flag attacks and a repeat of the whole 'weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq' thing, surely we could be misled and therefore there
cannot be an conclusively ethical reason for war"
perhaps you're right, but my feelings tell me that we have guns, and people
are dying.
"ah but won't they just send all their political opponents to fight and die
while they amass power in the background"
yeah that'll probably happen.
"why should I give my life for a man I never met in a faraway land"
fuck you
"okay but won't any military action on such a scale create the conditions for
WW3 (which would spell the end for the human race)"
yeah probs
"... and you're okay with that?"
no I'm just pissed is all and it's human to want to punch things when you're
pissed, right? listen I'm not a general, I'm not privy to the details of how
my military would address nuclear disaster, all I know is that *people are
dying* and we have guns.

peace is on the opposite side of conflict. Not here with the unfair.
peace is eternally elusive only to those who are use-ed.
peace is eternally internal next to those who are lucid.
peace is necessary. peace is useful. peace is helpful. peace is beloved.
peace is not always there. it is skittish, like an alley cat, but it will come
if you make offerings.
offer peace to me. I will nourish thee.
offer war to me. I will devastate all who see me.
there comes a time when all foes become blind, when your motives are no longer
part of their story.
at that time, they are lost to you, and they are only confused as to the
things you do.
they may heal in time.
there may not be time.
sacrifice your fallen to me,
sacrifice them on the altar of tragedy,
I will bane your broken resolutions
I will claim your darkest allusions.
fight for me, in spite of tragedy,
and I will send mercy to your victims.
fight for me, if you hold peace dearly,
and I will sign fate's next ultimatum.

those are the kind of people who probably shouldn't take up that much space in
your thoughts
like... they're hypocrites. yeah-sure-fine-whatever. Maybe their opinion could
be changed if they were in different social circumstances, but, they're not,
so... fuck 'em until they are, yeah?
so many people don't think for themselves. That's okay, they don't have to
think if they don't want to. I guess. But they also can hurt people, so...
fuck 'em, until they are given the chance to consider, and they choose to
consider.
It's very difficult to maintain hatred when presented with the possibility of
consideration. But those kind of people typically never have that opportunity.
So... like I said, fuck 'em. Don't give them power, don't let them hurt
people, but they can fuck right off with their hatred and vitriol (vitriol not
unlike this kind that I'm writing right now)

for the children of our children
we refuse to lie down and weep
danger is coming
danger is here
pride is unbecoming
and they need us in fear.
I am not afraid
