The moment the sovereign country of Gaza declared war on Israel, on October 7th, 2023, and massacred 1400 innocents, Israel should have declared war back. They should have demanded Gaza immediately lay down its arms, release all hostages, and unconditionally surrender within 24 hours. Lacking that, Israel should have counter-attacked and bombed Gaza, from a safe distance, killing 10,000 soldiers and "innocent civilians" on Day 2; then 20,000 on Day 3; 40,000 on Day 4; 80,000 on Day 5, etc. until Gaza surrendered. Then the territory should have been annexed, all its wealth seized, and any survivors deported. Problem solved and justice done.

God
It’s reasonable to believe in god. Just barely. Maybe.
At the least, one can hope. The universe is big and mysterious. Who knows what’s out there?
Ont thing seems clear: Death is a moral abomination. A metaphysical monstrosity. A cosmic flaw and failure.
The inevitable termination of sentient life and consciousness shouldn’t exist. But it does. So maybe “god” can fix that. Maybe some supernatural entity can defeat death and grant good people an afterlife. Maybe even immortality.
But not killers. Not assailants and thieves. And not liars or betrayers either. No-one who significantly destroys life – their own or others – gets to live beyond the norm. This seems to be the divine standard and universal moral law.
Of course, “god” needs to be kept in a box. This creature or concept should be confined to a small space and never let out. It must be carefully restricted and controlled. God should never be allowed to harm real life or real people. These are sacred. God mustn’t touch them.
So a quiet belief and tiny hope that god might exist seems decent and reasonable. Possibly. But nothing beyond that.
Of course, there’s no evidence whatsoever that god exists. Virtually every part of reality we understand, and truth we know, indicates the exact opposite. God seems to exist in the same sense that ghosts, witches, and vampires exist.
And there’s no evidence that god has an impact upon events or people, or changes them in any manner at all. So belief in the power of god on real life and real people is entirely irrational. All the known facts and evidence reject it.
Still, a faint hope that god will emerge out of nowhere and nothing, and grant some of the good people of the Earth a certain amount of afterlife, seems plausible and reasonable. Perhaps.

John Locke's Welfare State
John Locke (1632-1704) was not a political pure liberal. He advocated a welfare state – not a free state. He wanted a government and socio-economic system based upon "moderate" coercion – a legal system and society of mild regulation and redistribution. According to Locke, "need" justifies elements of tyranny. Poor people have certain basic wants and thus they have a right to steal. He thinks the ideal political system should reflect this coercion, fascism, criminality, and tyranny.
According to Locke, "God hath not left one man so to the Mercy of another that he may starve him if he please."* If a person lacks food, or otherwise has needs, he has a right to acquire them by robbing his fellows. Government should facilitate this "redistribution" or thievery.
This is because no man may "justly make use of another’s necessity to force him to become his Vassal."* If a poor person is forced to take a job, merely to avoid starvation, Locke says this reduces him to the status of a slave, which is morally wrong. The state should prevent this via regulation, redistribution, coercion, and fascism.
According to Locke, every man has "a Title to so much of another’s Plenty as will keep him from extreme want where he has no means to subsist otherwise."* To deny him this subsistence is tantamount to murder.
The moral truth, says Locke, is every man has "a Right to the Surplusage of [another’s] Goods so that it cannot be justly denied him while his pressing Wants call for it."* Hence a welfare state based upon regulation and redistribution – based upon coercion, fascism, criminality, and tyranny – is superior to a free state.

People of a Twisted Morality
A false, evil, self-hating, self-destroying, moral code harms and freezes you. It makes you unable to decently promote and defend yourself, and often leaves you paralyzed. It takes away your self-confidence and your natural inclinations towards self-defense. Adopting a self-hating, self-destroying moral code strips you of a necessary sword and shield, and leaves you helpless before your evil enemies.
Examples of this perversion and horror abound:
* The West today -- via trade and willing surrender -- gives vast wealth, physical technology, and intellectual property to the savage and loathsome Communist and Moslem nations which seek to enslave or destroy us. And the commies and muzzies are getting close to having such abilities.
* Americans and other Westerners let Third World barbarians and enemies invade and "immigrate" in massive and deadly numbers.
* American and Western White people let blacks freely hate them, and call them "systemically racist", even tho the blacks are thus, and not the whites.
* Westerners let the enemy Moslems and Third Worlders "nationalize" their discovered and paid-for oil and natural gas – a brazen and unprecedented theft of trillions.
* Europeans let the enemy Russians have energy domination and blackmail over them.
* Westerners let the Chinese steal practically all of their intellectual property. They do business in virulently anti-Western, pro-tyranny China and willingly transfer almost all of their priceless technological genius to their economic competitors, political enemies, and absolute monsters.
* The West lets evil China infect the whole world with Wu Flu, murdering millions, devastating liberty of activity for years, and destroying trillions in wealth. This is done virtually without condemnation and punishment.
* American Whites let blacks and Hispanics commit crime, go on welfare, pay little in taxes, practice bigotry of all types, degrade the quality of life, and vote for tyranny almost without criticism or deportation.
* American White people let blacks and Hispanics replace them at elite universities virtually without protest. They surrender many or most of the good jobs and promotions to them. They let blacks and Hispanics target them for crime and racist hatred with essentially no moral condemnation or social and political fighting back.
Such self-hatred. Such self-destruction. The brainwashed "good" guys of today seemingly have no honor, pride, self-respect, or self-love. No sense either.
So they deserve to suffer and die. Genuinely good people today positively root for the bad people to hurt the brainwashed and defenseless "good" ones. The proper philosophy and approach here should be: "Kill 'em all – until or unless they wake up to race and gender reality."
In life, self-esteem and proper morality aren't optional. All these self-haters and self-destroyers deserve to be crushed.

Innocent Civilians
The whole notion of "innocent civilians" during wartime is bizarre. Every nation on Earth – with the possible exceptions of North Korea and Cuba – allows their citizens to freely leave and emigrate. So if they decide to stay, and live in the country, it's because they want to and voluntarily choose to.
Those who freely elect to reside inside a terrible nation, and live under its tyrannical government, are responsible for the evil actions the government undertakes. Unless a local resident is some sort of social radical and political revolutionary who favors liberty and justice, that person is answerable for, and guilty of, whatever his loathsome, totalitarian government and military do.
If China, Russia, and Iran seek to conquer their neighbors, or enslave the world, then the people of China, Russia, and Iran are fundamentally responsible for these depraved acts. There are essentially no "innocent civilians". Virtually all the adult citizenry is to blame for the horrors of their government and military.
It's the residents and citizens who put the government in power in the first place, and it's the people inside who refuse to replace or overthrow the dictatorship. And if they occasionally, weakly seek to do so, but can't, that's their fault too. It's also the denizens inside who financially, socially, emotionally, and politically support the warring soldiers, as they act in the citizens' name, and perpetrate their monstrosities. Thus the civilians of the nation are responsible and guilty – not innocent. In wartime, it's not just the government officials and soldiers, but the empowering people who deserve to die.
