- watwut 4y agoThat phrase tends to be mainly popular in societies that starts the wars tho. Like, neonazi like to tattoo it. So, imo, that phrase primary serves to get ready for violence you intend to start, all the while you are convincing yourself your intentions are good and you are just a victim of circumstances.

- throwanem 4y agoThat's "If you wish for peace, prepare for war." It's good advice; all else equal, the visibly weak are more often assaulted than the visibly strong. But it can be taken to excess; it's one thing to carry oneself as if one means business, and quite another to go everywhere with one's finger on the trigger of a shotgun with a chambered shell. After a certain point, you make people feel they need to defend themselves from you.
