In today's episode we're going to be talking about the critically important subject of war and freedom
That Human Beings base biological nature is to be a warring animal seems to be indisputable. Throughout history, tribes have conquered tribes, Nations have taken over nations, empires have risen and fallen two external powers. Yes, unfortunately, the base model of human nature; the base model of some human beings - especially those who rise to the top of power structures, is to hunger for more power, more land, more wealth, and more dominating influence, and to seek it by taking over others.
This fact of human nature is well-documented in history and biology tells us the same thing. Our nearest evolutionary relative, were told, is the chimpanzee. Chimps go on genocidal rages sometimes wiping out every member of a neighboring troop. Within nations, there have been similar genocides.
As you well know, at various levels, genocides are both physical and cultural: the non-compliant in the Soviet Union (a topic will be talking about later); Jews, Gypsies, the disabled, and Christians in Nazi Germany; the Tibetans in China; the Muslims in Burma and in China right now; the Tutsis by Hutus in the early 90s; and yes, at times, American actions toward the Native Americans back in the mid 1800s.
To ignore the cruelty and warlike nature of the human species is to be a fool or to be a manipulator. To embrace it for your own agenda - while labeling it good - is for the diabolically evil. The only way doing so is Progressive is that it's a more advanced form of deception. That seems to be what we're doing today.
Supposedly, we're living in what our “elites” like to call the post-war era. That is academic doublespeak, in other words, it's a ridiculously inaccurate label. Post-war. What about Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, and Yemen, just to take a Western or US-centered Center view of recent war. All these wars were conducted under the self-proclaimed moral righteousness of the so-called liberal, rules-based, International order, this self-given title, also academic doublespeak.
