see, america hasn't actually waged war, ever

but the real answer is that they won because they fking wanted it and they were committed and they didn't care if two million vietnamese people died and their country was completely deindustrialized

every american war has been justified as something other than war

and americans whined about a mere 58,000

the only american wars were the revolutionary war and the civil war

yes the US is obsessed with casus bellis

maybe the world wars

reed Carl Schmitt

They didn't care because they are insects

in the old system, people knew what war was

there was not such a thing as an 'illegitimate war'

but with the masonic neoliberal world order shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca_9QDb9Z0o

there are 'legitimate and illegitimate wars'

I wonder to what extend it's true what Ry Dawson mentioned recently

and 'legitimate and illegitimate combatants'

about the civil war and from the boat to the killing field

doesn't the notion of illegitimate war go back at least to christianity?

pre-liberalism

> see, america hasn't actually waged war, ever

yes the rules of war were developed in the early modern period

you can only go to war if it's against evil

and shit

which is basically the american way

1. Do not harrass, threaten, dox, or share private information from people of the server or outside of the server.

which is convenient because "evil" is very vague

i fell harrassed

demand action

yes you're right, religion had its own sort of legitimacy system

but that was punctuated by periods of standardized warfare

against that weak greek sense of humor
