Do you really think any of the deep tumblr people are gonna find their way into a war? Metal health too fucked for admittance or physical health problems to fucked for admittance or both. They'd be sitting at home blogging about it.
A war would have no positive effects what so ever. If you think society would change for the better because of a war you're sorely mistaken. It would just draw bigger divides between people, give an extremely heightened chance of apocalyptic scenarios, ruin the mental health of everyone and make people with preexisting problems much worse off, and not the least of all kill people. War is a result of bad decisions not a solution to bad situations.
That's where we disagree. War is what drives society and technology, what keeps us from getting stupid and complacent. What allows for irreconcilable differences to face off once and for all, rather than fester until everyone is either chomping at the bit or bending over and letting others do as they please.
War is not the answer, it is the question, and sometimes the answer is yes.
War for the purpose of being driver is a deprecated ideology. War is wasteful in every sense of the word. It wastes materials, lives, and potential. Expansion, exploration, and laze are also great drivers of technology and society. Just as metal was first cast complexly to make weapons and adapted to make tools and peacetime constructs the plane was first born to satisfy curiosity, a desire for knowledge, and a need to expand what man can do. A thirst for knowledge, creation, and the advancement of humanity has been just as fruitful as a thirst for blood, fighting, and domination.
I don't think a world war is gonna change anyone's ways.
War is not the answer, it is the question, and sometimes the answer is yes.
