    Laws do not need to be moral, logical, rational, or even reasonable. Most laws are made out of rage or political will.

    International law is made out of the latter two; and enforced only by the winning agent of a state on state conflict. Anything else is political sabre rattling.

    Even most national laws are all teeth no bite, and exist only for the perception of control and order.

    If police can’t enforce laws, and you have an immoral populace, you have chaos. If police can’t enforce laws with force and violence, it degrades into tyranny as the people retake control with violence.

    The world revolves around control and violence. Laws, judges, white wigs and gowns are all a perception of control in a world of savages. Anyone who thinks otherwise is sitting in a world of privilege.

    Might is right. If you doubt me, ask how many war crimes the United States has been charged with, Russia, etc… then look up the number of people killed by the Nazis vs the communists. Totally off topic, but if you doubt that, and it’s your first time, Patton was right, we should have kept going.







  • Here is a great example of the “if you’re not with us you’re against us” mentality: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/28/centrism-insidious-bias-unjust-status-quo

    Reasonable views being cancelled:

    Bari Weiss: A former opinion editor and writer at The New York Times, Weiss is known for her centrist views, often critiquing both the far-left and far-right. In July 2020, she resigned from the newspaper, citing a hostile work environment and alleging that her centrist stances led to bullying by colleagues. ​

    Example of extremes people will go to silence the moderates…

    Stefan Gelbhaar: A member of Germany’s Green Party, Gelbhaar, associated with the party’s more centrist “Realo” wing, was forced to withdraw from the federal election race following false sexual harassment allegations. An investigation later revealed that the accusations came from a fictitious persona created by a local Green official, leading to internal tensions within the party.


  • I’m a centrist too…

    It’s crazy that a pendulum swings drastically back and forth isn’t it? Not a false equivalency if you have any understanding of historical geopolitics.

    If you marginalize and de-platform an entire half of your voter base, and cancel people for taking a centrist stance, they’re more likely to band together against your cause, doing more harm long term than if you just toed a rational line.

    IE. Because the right were treated the way the left are now being treated for so long, they were polarized and radicalized to the result of who your president is now.

    Also, not American, this isn’t just an American thing. This is happening globally.
