Why is war a permanent feature of humanity in the conservative view, but something we should outlaw for the rest of us?

There are no people besides conservatives, -. Unless you're not one.
Why is war so important?

The facts of the matter are:
Conservatives are a dying breed and most of humanity has grown more tolerant and more intelligent over the years of modern evolution.

This is why in what are referred to as DEEPLY REPUBLICAN STATES within the United States, Conservatives need to fashion up laws that control the voting rights of individual people and they attempt to seize control of those votes through laws fashioned to give them a right or claim to say that the masses cannot be trusted with their own governance.

@Budwick I'm in New England and it's been a scorching summer with record drought....
This year has been a challenge.
So glad I chose to plant a plethora of perennial Sedums this season....

Wishing you and the Mrs. the very best of what life has to offer.

Peace

@HikingMan Thank you, thank you very much.
And, you as well.

Weird how something as simple as gardening turned our conversation into some so pleasant.

@Budwick The thing about us Everyday Humans is..., We have much more in common than we do in difference.
Allowing political subdivisions to divide us all is in fact one of our most current, and newfound shortcomings as a people, and society. A shortcoming that if not corrected will enslave us all to higher powers.

Which I might add..., Is Exactly How THEY Want It !
It's exactly what THEY strive for every single day at the direction of their World Bank overlords....
(But I'd rather not get into all of that as it's well beyond most people's understanding)

Be that as it may..., I try to recognize it and work around it as I continue along in my daily life....
I wish more people did likewise.

I shunned the gardening and instead trimmed bushes and tree limbs for 3 hours this afternoon.
One of my tree's limbs were obscuring the view of a street sign, and that's been bugging me for weeks.
It was hard and careful work up on that ladder placed against bendable limbs....
It all left me drenched with sweat and quite tired.
I wonder how many of my neighbors will appreciate what I went through so that they can see the signs clearly as they approach the intersection ?

Pretty sure most of them will never even notice as they stare at the sign they couldn't see yesterday.....

Such is the way of our todays.
No matter how I wish it wasn't...

Whoa! Hold on there Sparky!
Need I remind you that while Trump was ion office, the world was relatively peaceful?
When the democrats took office - the world blew up.

So, I'm a little confused about your portrayal of conservatives.

@Budwick Not only that, but Soros is an ultra lib, and puppeteers very violent groups like Antifa. LBJ escalated the war in Vietnam in the 60s. Hillary Clinton profited off of wars and the Benghazi incident. Liberals seem to be the war mongers here.

The only party sowing hate, division, and discord is the leftists. I have not seen a shred of unity from Obama forward.

@ShadowWolf Give this man the beverage of his choice! He speaks the truth!

@Budwick Haha! If only leftists realized that rewards, like being treated to a beer, must be earned through action and given voluntarily, not forcibly through tax dollars. If the left had it their way, they'd force "free beer for all", at the expense of the taxpayer 🤣 (sorry, I had to lol)

Authors of posts, deleting my replies, does nothing to change the truth and validity of my statements contained therein. Despite the veracity and demeanor in which those replies took place.

Though it does a well enough job of containing the spread and proliferation of my ideas and thoughts.

If you witnessed the police action that Russia just pulled on Ukraine you will notice hostile forces ready to dominate the world. It is why putin hates NATO so much. It is resistance.
To avoid war, you have to be prepared for it.

@Roundandroundwego This may be the first time ever that someone has labeled me Conservative....

Pfft...

Outrageous indignation doesn't work on me.
I'm actually on your side.
Try not to be a meathead...

Did Russia give Ukraine an alternative to war besides Volodymyr Zelenskyy leaving the country and submit to them.
Ukraine fought back and committed to a war against Russia. There was no room for negotiation and Finland and Sweden finally realized the monster they were living next to.
@Roundandroundwego I think you don't know @Pfuzylogic & you simply are not familiar with neutral powers such as Switzerland, and even history.

Most normal people don't want war. Lots of leaders don't want it; even Lincoln didn't want it.

But @Pfuzylogic said that we need to be prepared for it; esp. in such turbulent times, to be unprepared is to be prey.

Switzerland has both national service and a big navy...odd that a landlocked country would have the latter, but the Swiss realize that navies are an important branch of power for countries, a deterrant, and their national service is ALSO a deterrant.

But Themistocles told the Athenians that the silver they found in mines should be used to build boats & learn seamanship. That one voice made Athens a sea power and saved the Western world from being taken by Darius or Xerxes from Asia

It made the Greeks seeders of colonies just off Asia Minor, along the Adriatic, in the instep of Italy's boot, in Sicily...allowing for the Greek alphabet to morph into the Latin, and start part of the cultural transmission which began with Alexander's Hellenization of his empire and continued with the larger Roman empire's footprint...
Is it war, or more basically man's inhumanity towards man, violence etc?

There are plenty of Trumpists out there decrying sending Americans off to fight in foreign lands who claim the conservative name tag while embracing their rights to kill libs and fight for their rights against them at home.

No one, imo, will stand up for war, unless they think it's a war worth fighting for.

War/violence has been a part of humanity since the early days of mankind. It is part of adapting to new environments. But these days we would not need violence anymore but we have systems in place (hierarchies and capitalism) that profit from war.
@SW-User good for you! And so, we will simply stop trying to end it! Life is murder.
Murder was always with us!
You want the unjustifiable because of the insupportable!
Conservative.

@Roundandroundwego What are you on about? No i don't want war but it's way more complex than "conservatives bad"
Conservatives are idiots who support capitalism and fascism. We need to fight them for sure.
