Often we turn on our television sets and are bombarded with the sound and fury of the mindless masses protesting and rioting somewhere in the world. And of course the mass media always brings us images of the very worst of the worst during the events which may have been for the most part just humans acting out who are said to be mostly harmless anyway. Nevertheless perhaps it has occurred to you that the protestors are in fact war like in their motivations and could be considered Problematic. This subject recently came up in our very controversial political Blog when one gentleman who I guess you could call an anti-Protestor, Protestor states; We should cull all the war protestors, with lethal weapons. They just don't get it. War is a genetic trait of mankind and an innate characteristic, why do you think they are so apt to join in the sound and fury of the protest. Total hypocrisy, as they are inciting violence by their mere protesting. It is just a lesser form of war for those who lack the strength of character to take it to the next step and change by force the things that are wrong in the world? Philosophically speaking protestors are indeed warmongers themselves always looking for something to fight over. Watch and listen to them sometimes, perhaps the gentleman has a point in that the real problem is the protestors and not the actual war. Consider this in 2006. |
