EDUCATION MAKES WAR inevitable

 A number of people are agitating like mad to kick start a war in Europe and while I don't think that they will succeed I think it is instructive to point out that Europe started down the warpath long before America did and is much further removed from the roots it thinks it shares with its ancestors. Let me give an example.

"Resolved: we will not fight for king and country" refers to the famous 1933 Oxford Union debate where members voted (275 to 153) for the motion, "This House will under no circumstances fight for its King and country," a pacifist resolution that sparked international controversy, influenced later anti-war movements (like American pacifist pledges), and drew strong criticism from figures like Winston Churchill.

The moral police decoded all that to mean that of course they would fight if they were humbly beseeched by King and Country to fight. Of course we all know that this is nonsense. Those highly educated elites that voted almost all took a whiff and decided that it was not in their interests and so they didn't fight. Probably half of them turned into spies for the Soviet Union.

This is the weakness of turning 100% of the education of the young over to people who literally hate the State to death and want to see it fall in the most painful and horrible way possible. I very much doubt that any college/university educated/trained person in the EU would be willing to actually take up arms and head for the battlefield. It is much the same here and in the UK. All those smart brainy people are going to give the next war a miss.

You know, that's what they think every time and thanks to the likes of Jimmy Carter it is possible to believe that any coercion by the State to make men fight is doomed to failure. It really cannot be any other way in the modern State where a convicted criminal can hang up his deportation for years by involving liberals and what passes for the law courts in this country. Try to imagine impressing seamen or drafting unwilling men. All that case law that used to be on the side of the Government in this matter is now in limbo simply because none of the elite will rule in favor of the State.

So with all these smart highly educated people how does this make war more possible? It is simply because they have never learned even once in their lives that actions have consequences.  They have never been in a fight in their lives and very few of them have suffered from the gross misrule of the courts and the law or from the thugs left free to prey on society because those thugs rarely prey on them. They think they can get away with any vicious, unprincipled, dirty, sneaky, rotten thing they dream up to punish a State they perceive to be their enemy and the 'enemy' won't do anything about it.

That is changing as they import the 3rd world who see prey and recognize it and then look around and see that none of the prey is guarded or watched over by anybody. You see what is happening in Somaliland Norté and a whole entire society made up of thieves and rapists who banded together and prey upon the weak that still hasn't perceived the situation as it really is and probably never will because they are so educated they cannot see it and their tongues would blacken and fall out of their heads before they uttered even the least damning words about their Somali friends and neighbors.

And there above it all is still the Courts and the Media who simply ignore it or rule that is doesn't matter or lacks standing and that is it. They dismiss it and don't think about it. That is pretty much how war sneaks up on a country. How many countries knowing the cost of the Second World War would have undertaken to fight it? What about the First World War?

Nobody knows that anymore because they simply stopped teaching history, ethics, government, civics, geography, reading, philosophy and religion. They don't teach any of it anymore. You can ask actual college students any question at all about the above and they don't know. They have very firm opinions on everything but they are also ignorant about everything. If you ask them they tell you they can get all the answers from their phones and people still roam around bleating about AI and not knowing that it must be in everyone else's phone because they're all so damned smart they have all the answers.

On that note, I thought the Navy ship wranglers were a dopey lot these days but did President Trump really announce that he was going to be part of designing and building a 30,000 ton battleship that was going to destroy everything it confronts? Well OK, I guess its true that those guys that pitched the Dreadnought to Jackie Fisher thought they had something huge that was going to change naval warfare forever.....as you know, something else crept in on little cat feet and actually changed naval warfare forever and nobody even noticed at the time.

Yes dear reader, you know our friends above and below that haven't changed all that much except for becoming infinitely more deadly and accurate when it comes to fighting ships. Still, it will be interesting to see what form this new nonpatriotic war takes when it suddenly leaps out of the shadows. Will it be another virus, banking failure, total economic collapse, open warfare? You know the modern guys think it will be something stupid and pointless like cyber warfare but for my money, they'll probably just go after the money. Some people still believe that it's real...
