Peace

 


Peace lovers are the scum of the Earth. Their motivations and standards are all wrong. Lovers of peace necessarily attack justice and morality. These are evil acts.

Yes, there are times in society when peace is a proper goal and something to be loved and pursued. But often enough war is the ideal and disideratum. It depends upon the situation.

When two individuals, groups, or nations hate each other, and have a strong dispute between them, sometimes the proper procedure and course of action is to talk it out, negotiate, and compromise with the enemy, thus resolving the conflict and achieving peace. But what happens if the opponent or his actions are objectively or even outrageously evil? Then the proper procedure and course of action is to attack and attempt to destroy the bad guys, and thus resolve the dispute in this fashion.

In both cases the final result is “peace”. But one type of behavior results in the triumph of all-important justice and morality, while the other type results in their defeat. Of course, the social and civilizational ideal in every instance is the victory of good over evil.

Unfortunately, in the current Dark Age world of illiberalism, poor thinkers, sloppy idealists, unprincipled amoralists, and lowlifes reign. Hence, peace is massively valued over justice and morality. Yes, people today weakly and abstractly want justice and morality too, but above all else they hunger for peace. The inevitable result is the triumph of the bad guys over the good.

Another invariable result is an unpleasant and ugly “peace” which is almost always temporary. After such an ideal-violating peace, a new war is almost sure to follow, often quickly. The truce or “cease-fire” or “peace treaty” which was foolishly and wickedly agreed to by the good guys won’t impress, make grateful, create friendship with, mollify, or successfully appease the bad guys. Soon enough the evil-doers will make new, outlandish, unjust, and immoral demands, thus providing impetus toward a new war.

Hence the previous activity of choosing peace over justice and moral goodness will not just have bad results in the short term, but also in the long. To truly and properly “love peace” – if this is the shallow, limited, compromised, corrupt, amoral, unprincipled, depraved ideal and goal – one must love and work for justice and morality first and most. This is so even if in the short term it means terrible war.
