  1. , War is thus an Act of Force to Compel our "enemy" to do our will.

    In other words an unethical and egregiously immoral act if aggression.

    1. Funny thing about justice and courage, it depends on who you're talking to... as it changes depending on the person's views, conditioning, perspective,and experience. As well as circumstances.

    3. As parts of virtue, and not the whole (absolute) of it, they must. As Shakespeare (Hamlet) says... "
      Now, whether it be Bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple Of thinking too precisely on the event, A thought which, quarter'd, hath but one part wisdom And ever three parts coward, I do not know Why yet I live to say 'This thing's to do;' Sith I have cause and will and strength and means To do't."


      The four parts: courage:temperance::wisdom:justice that make up the whole of virtue.

    4. They answer to a specific individual (or groups) cause, will, strength and means.

      To impose your own will upon another is to commit an immoral act... a war upon the other. Elevate this now to a group with an "ethic" It's like elevating justice to social justice. Or an individual lawsuit to a class action. Justice gets sacrificed to trial efficiency. Something Socrates refused to do in the trial against the admirals.

    5. ...and I in the fight against white (and not black or brown) supremacy

  3. I agree in principal.

    Although the fight against white supremacy and Christian Nationlism is a virtuous fight. I add violence in any pursuit to changes minds and direction is NEVER acceptable. Unless forced to violence to defend oneself or family from violence initiated by them to harm you or your family.

      To a muslim? :-p


      //I add violence in any pursuit to changes minds and direction is NEVER acceptable.

      Even to those who fights back?


      //Unless forced to violence to defend oneself or family from violence initiated by them to harm you or your family.

      Like noble warriors of Jihad? :-)))

      PS See Joe. Your inner body of your loved republic infested with each and every kind of mental viruses.

      PPS Yawn

    2. ...denial of natural (kin) selection. He stupidly fights for his "species" not his "genes" (although he confusedly calls for fighting to defend "family" while actually defending out (non-genetic) groups.

    3. Altruism benefits family members (w/ shared genes)(kin selection)

      His compassion gets misplaced in the ordo amoris.

    4. ...the belief that Muslims will convert to Buddhism (and not be killed as apostates under islam).

      In some interpretations of Islamic law, the penalty for rejecting Islam, or apostasy, can be severe and include death, imprisonment, and confiscation of property. However, interpretations vary significantly; some classical scholars argue the punishment is death, while modern scholars and certain legal schools suggest the punishment is not mandatory, or some verses of the Quran indicate the penalty is for the Day of Judgment.

    5. It's one of the downsides of the exogamous West (vs. endogamous and Islamic East)

      Delete
    6. Islam compensates via multiple marriages (especially war-bride alliances)... a practice rejected after the Trojan War in the West (Euripides "Andromache")

    7. It's a benefit from "jihad"...and why Osama bin Laden was able to sign up so many 2nd/3rd sons who wouldn't inherit their father's property for International jihad.

    2. Communism: The false belief that one should protect the entire species (via universalism), and not specific genes and gene combinations (antifragile genetic diversity able to recover from black swan events ie - Comet apocalypse)

    3. Guilt-pride: Belief that your own genes are defective if they lead to successful evolutionary dominance.

    4. There is no "superior" gene. There is superior education certainly. There are superior environments, both in the natural world as well as in the manufactiining/business/creative arts/scientific development etc. certanly. The belief that it is related to specific races or cultures is but white supremacy hog wash or as I prefer to classify it, bullsh*t on steriods.

      And it hasn't a f**king thing to do with your fictional white supremacist guilt pride BS.

    5. Did you watch anything in the video?

      btw - What's the "superior education", Physics or Math at MIT? Probably depends upon what you intend to do with it... like gene expression does for influencing a particular "trait".... or in your particular case, obstinacy.
