Individuals defending themselves against other individuals threatening their lives and property is not war.Sculptor wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 9:32 amNothing I said here so much as implies that.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 2:14 amSo war is OK so long as it's legal? I don't think you think that, but what's wrong with war is not because it's against some law, but that it is subhuman dedication to wholesale murder and destruction justified by some absurd ideology.
WW2 was a case where Germany declared war on the USA.
All the rest since then were illegal.
Let me ask you: if a country declares war on you , is it "ok" to fight?
Wars are always collective efforts. Gangs of idiots following some, "leader," for the sake of some collective end. Whether obscenely called offensive or defensive, they are wholesale slaughter of other human beings justified on the basis of some collective purpose, like promoting or defending a religion, a social/political ideology, a society or a state, (i.e. some government). No country ever declares war on any individual. Only governments declare war on other governments.
It is never right to, "fight." That's how animals deal with one another.
It is perfectly alright to kill an animal that is threatening you. You don't, "fight," it, as in, "wage war against it."
