War. What is it good for?

[nightnight]

"War is an enemy to all mankind."

Thinking about these lyrics. I've honestly thought what a hellscape the earth would be if war DIDN'T exist. I'm trying to understand...what would a world without war look like? If there could never be opposition to those who rule. What would happen?

I'm generally completely anti war, I see it as a loss on all sides involved. Peace keeping war LOL

Yes well like in the terms of ending a genocide...stopping rampant killings. I'm not sure how you do that peacefully or without violence. I'm curious if there have been cases where those issues have been stopped without wars.

So your idea of ending a war is more war and the pile of rubble is your idea of peace I'm guessing? I'm against it like I said, even a tiny little bit of peace is better than any war.

Not my idea. I'm just going off historical events I know of. I'm asking though what do you think is a productive way of helping those suffering in the tragedies I mentioned?

Ditto, after all how else the Merchants of Death corporations aka the Military Industrial Complex and their profiteers would do money laundering, and "burn" tax payer money?

War results in a lot of deaths, leading to a lower population in the World, which is a good thing.
You know, how there are already limits of how many children you can have in China and other countries in Asia, right? Well, this is gonna apply to every single country in the World in no time.

Eventually yes. At least in that sense though, we arent stopping a life that has been living it out. I'd say the destruction of something that has lived- (that which isnt just in the body of woman, and knows no concepts or ideas) Has yet lived. To strip people who have lived away from life through war and to have them suffer its storm is probably the evilest of it all. The person who shakes it all into fruition are the worst people who have lived. I'd say that if any, the most deserving of having it stripped away.

Exactly, otherwise why would they send only mature males and lately females to war, make a cut of a few hundred thousand males and 20 years down the line there will be a few million less peoples on earth.

It's a problem of leadership. When you are a leader, the life of a subordinate means very little to you.

war is not good for anything.

Waste of life and destruction of the world just because some people at the top have a disagreement or power trip.

Peace is simply the absence of war, and war never truly disappears it simply changes form. People are always competing and fighting each other. The only permanent solution is to change the core nature of man, strip humans of their general purpose intelligence and adapatability, and put them in a Brave New World-like matrix. Tower of Babel-like event is also a possibility, though temporary, would probably just reform under new names, new banners, new Gods, new symbols. Likewise, the globalist and internationalist technocratic schemes and so on are built to fall apart. They cannot work without changing (or more accurately supplanting, hijacking, degrading) humans in some way. Turning people into golem, sterile and genderless produced in artificial wombs, or eternal infants reliant on an external structure. Using the fruits of bioelectromagnetics and magnetobiology, synthetic biology, xeniobiology/xenoDNA, biomimetics, nanotechnology,a nd artificial intelligence to create the perfect "utopian" smart prison within a permanent two tiered society. Maybe there is something much simpler, but I don't know. Full spectrum dominance and a war to end all wars has been envisioned how many times now? It's both a lie and a delusion every time, same abomination amalgamation of industry and international finance arm and play both sides and profit, same game all the way back to the Pharaohs and probably even further.

That's my take on it anyway. Really the whole problem we're trying to deal with is human trauma response (narcissism) and naivete (submitting to and failing to detect psychopaths). Agriculture could be blamed, urbanization could be said to eb the start of the problem. People who live off ideas, and are separated from the land. However, you could also consider it from the angle of what is lost by "solving" the problem. Do societies, like individuals, need a lifecycle of birth, growth, decay, death, renewal. Does thwarting this guarantee stagnation and extinction, and does conflict drive advancement. I won't say drive human "progress", simply change. It would be ideal if this wasn't the case, hard to say.
