Philosophically and psychologically, mankind hungers for a thunderous victory of Good over Evil. None of these ambiguous, half-ass, sissy-boy wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. People want a repeat of World War II Germany and Japan. Or a real live version of Mike Hammer, Dirty Harry, John Wick, or Jack Reacher. Humanity desperately wants to see the Good Guys laugh at, spit in the face of, and then beat the living hell out of the Bad Guys. This alone will satisfy the spiritual needs of almost all of us, which is extreme.
Mankind quietly hungers for Western Civilization to resoundingly triumph over the miserable, lowly, disgusting Communists, Moslems, and Third Worlders of China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Cuba, and many more. People also privately want the liberal reasonists (as I call them) to ferociously smash the double-talking Leftist nihilists and nonsense-spouting Rightist theists. The educated world even secretly hopes that the individualist freedom-fighters will crush the life out of the collectivist progressives and religious conservatives. And pretty much everyone decent yearns for the anti-Western, anti-American, anti-Enlightenment, anti-capitalist, anti-freedom, Antifa-supporting, B.L.M.-loving Woke monsters to be wiped off the face of the earth.
But along with all this good stuff, cutting-edge liberals also know we need for the real libertarians to cruelly ravage the libertarian conservatives and libertarian anarchists; as well as for the real Objectivists to ruthlessly savage the unprincipled, mediocre, wimp Objectivists, and the malicious, weird, cult Objectivists.
No more namby-pamby, effeminate, weak, partial victories! No more shameful, disgusting, uncertain semi-triumphs!
Philosophically and psychologically, mankind desperately hungers for the genuinely rational and liberal Good Guys to meet the irrational and illiberal Bad Guys in open combat and then annihilate them.
