Violence as a tool is as old as life on this planet. And those who are willing to use it to get what they want, well, they tend to want a lot. I am a member of the imperial core. I want your stuff. I'm gonna take it. I will do this because I am stronger than you. What can you do about it? You can't stop me. You can't tell anyone, no one is coming to save you, because there is no one else. There are the weak, and there are the hungry, trapped together forever in hell. What is your rebuttal? To the bandit, the mongol, the roman, the viking, the saracen, the conquistador, the apache, the marine?
There is love and there is hunger. And while love has grace, hunger has teeth. There can never be a point to any of this. There is hunger and there is love. You cannot eat love, love cannot ever be enough. And unless love somehow miraculously becomes enough, then there can be no point. Unless the hunger is the point.
this is why conservatives cannot see a hungry mouth and not be afraid it will bite them. that's all their hungry mouth has ever done. To them, the hunger is the point.
You cannot build a future with teeth. you can only eat the future with teeth.
