  • I think both peace and war are profitable. But those that profit from war may be more pushy than those that profit from peace, and so may get their way even as an unpopular minority .

    Unless, the left (usually more pro peace) learns a few lessons from the right and places good outcomes above the holier than thou moral purity. “I’ve never made anyone uncomfortable” is not the merit badge that some think it is.

    Of course the left can never be a mirror copy of the right because the left cannot afford to give as few fucks about anything as the right (who represent the already-haves economic incumbents; it’s not called the “fuck you money” for nothing). But the left can be way tougher and nuancedly uncompromising and even calculatingly and carefully millitant.

    Might does not make right but might DOES make POLICY.

    You need both right and might to live under a good policy.

    Lotta good it does anyone to be right and insightful on all the issues and have zero impact anywhere.
