"War: a massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who know each other but don't massacre each other."

— Paul Valéry (1871–1945)

@stux i love this

@kmmfoo @stux

A variation that I forget the source of:

"War is fought between poor young men, who don't know each other, on behalf of rich old men, who know each other well."

@stux hihi c'est rigolo en anglais 😆
@stux Voting for war should be an automatic enlistment into the military

@stux
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!

@stux everyone keeps ascribing to Trump the mentality and the motives of the Enlightenment. Stop trying to *rationalize* it. There is no logic motivating a black hole. IT JUST SUCKS
@stux so you're implying that Zelensky and Putin are in bed with each other and started this war together to let their people kill each other?
@stux
It's a bit outdated. It's from the time they used to disguise the massacres and call them "wars". They no longer bother.
