Just because that level of abstract thinking renders other activities meaningless does not mean it should be the case with conflicts/wars too.
The superficial and nuances of wars only matters when you want to justify them. For an outsider, it is pretty clear who is fighting for more power and resources, and who is fighting to maintain their power and resources.
The point that I am trying to make is that we as humanity need to look at wars for what they are, bloody murderous missions on quest for power. And until we stop glorifying wars with various superficial reasons, we are doomed to forever repeating these conflicts and murdering our own kind.
- GW150914 8y agoI don’t want to justify wars, or as you’re doing, judge them. I want to understand them, because that and not justification or judgement is probably the best way to stop them.
- omeid2 8y agoI am not judging wars, I am only trying to understand what wars are, as a general concept, not least because I don't want to judge wars but because trying to judge specific wars without committing to one side or the other is a futile.
