As a corporatist, you seem to be saying that wars are icky unless they promote your profit. Is that right? |
Have you had a little bit too much to drink tonight? You seem to be just outright trolling now. |

Nope. You cannot escape the consequences of your position that way. |

What "position"? The ridiculous straw man you threw up?
1) I am not a corporatist. Please quit projecting your own ideology onto me.
2) I'm saying violence is not justified unless it is in self defense (as for nation states, there is no altruism there, as the saying goes). The best and most noble policy for everyone to aspire to is military isolationism. Taken it's ideal conclusion, there would be no war. Beyond that, any wars that did break out would be limited. Any soldier wanting to volunteer to join a figurative crusade against evil somewhere would no doubt be welcomed by either side in the conflict, but governments should not have the right to wage wars unless in self defense. |
