History is written by the victors.
All war is insane. Repeat ALL.
Generally stirred up by those with the most to gain. Make them fight it out then. Anyone else is killed, THAT'S a crime.
And there are always ONLY losers.
No.
All downvotes but it still working.
If you want to understand the true nature of war, go watch a video of macaque monkeys fighting over territory. We do the same thing and try to convince ourselves it's different.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
