War Is Not Peace

freemarketliberal:

That heading could be elaborated on ad infinitum.  It’s pitiful I feel it must be elaborated on.  It seems many, especially on the modern “Right,” of which the higher-ups of the modern “Left” are found, don’t seem to understand.

Rather than going on an extensive rant as to the reasons I’m compelled to make that statement, I’ll just reiterate some talking points that I won’t write on today:

  • War does not bring economic prosperity
  • War does not stabilize regions
  • War does not assist in leveling the societal hierarchies
  • War does not advance the efforts for peace

“A good end cannot sanctify evil means” —William Penn

Name me a good war;  and I’ll name you innocents who became victims.  Violence breeds violence as peace breeds peace.  You can look at it from a macro perspective trying to find a Pareto Optimum—but you’ll never find one.  But regardless of how blatantly obvious these facts seem, we are all continuously victims of wars by the hierarchical society we “live” in.
