Yea, I didnt mean to harp on you about that distinction. I try to pull apart concepts maybe too much. Like, would you consider Dick Cheney a wolf or a sheepdog from my description? I think most would think wolf, which I agree to. But think of this, what if that man's personality was exactly the same, but he put his tenacity to saving rainforests instead of oil? Pushing a massive, violent war to save all the trees. Then gets on TV and says he doesn't care what the public thinks, what are they going to do about it? Is he still a wolf? I kind of still think so, but is it because I hate his goals, his methods, or am I just jealous of his capabilities? Because seriously, anyone that clear cuts trees will shit themselves the day Cheney hits his head and gets the idea of saving all the woodland creatures. International laws dont apply to that man. Those same folks dont fear a save the trees article or FB post. So yea, do people hate the man, the goals or the capabilities of the man? Both wolves and sheepdogs are capable of the exact same thing, we just judge on the morality of their goals, segmenting them to how they benefit our own interests. Escobar and El Chapo were legit heroes to some people after all. Maybe I just dont like how the current populus discourse is hand wavy on treating morality, judgement and a person's character.
