The "all war are bad and everyone must immediately stop" crowd has brain rot. They don't understand that some people have no choice but go to war, because they are being invaded.

It probably aligns with the kind of thinking that can assume the MIC produces only defense and protection: under certain parameters they're right but under others it can be quite naive.

If all wars were stopped, how would they be invaded?

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because there will always be humans who don't follow the rules and take what they want.

The link between poor material conditions and crime is well-documented. Poverty often leads to desperation, which can increase the likelihood of criminal behavior. By improving material conditions—such as ensuring stable housing, affordable healthcare, efficient public transportation, and quality education—we can address the root causes of crime and create a more stable and law-abiding society. source

Take away the material need for war, and war ceases to become desirable.

Putin does not have poor material conditions. This is his fucking house:

And just wait until you see the Guest House that Xi Jinping stays at while visiting NK.

Oh, I get it, you’re thinking individually. I was thinking collectively. Maybe we should limit the ability for individuals to wage war.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 3 months ago

Russia collectively is controlled by Putin individually. So we cannot morally condemn the defence of Ukraine without supporting War in general.
