- The_Colonel 3y agoThe side with no idealism is bound to lose, because for individuals it's better to run than to fight. Tragedy of the commons. But what you're doing is a category error. It's a completely different thing to ask your enemy to surrender from asking your ally (in a loose sense) to surrender.
