Some of them do believe their own bullshit. They're not any less of a threat to us than the ones that don't believe the BS but are down with the program because they're getting paid.
- trevelyan 13y agoSorry, but people who are skeptical of state justifications for militarism are by definition less of a threat to peace than those who support imperialist policies.
- ferdo 13y agoI think one of us is misunderstanding the other's position.
- trevelyan 13y agoI don't understand the equivalence. People who are opposed to violence are less harmful than people who are not, regardless of how "crazy" you consider their beliefs.
- ferdo 13y agoIf one is opposed to violence but still depending on a livelihood from an organization that depends on violence to realize its goals - be it a gang, a government or a military - then one might not be as opposed to violence as is thought.
- trevelyan 13y agoI see. Sorry for misunderstanding.
