| And, of course, you'll notice that the people provoking the war are not the people fighting the war. | |
| And this is sort of what I'm talking about, right? | |
| So, Republicans are generally more practical, often more kind, less manipulative, more direct, higher physical skills, and certainly much more in the military. | |
| So, from stats that I've read, About 6% of those in the military are Democrats. | |
| About 6%. | |
| A lot of independents, a lot of Republicans, as you can imagine. | |
| And I would imagine that those 6% of people in the military who are Democrats are likely pencil pushers or women, right? | |
| As women tend to skew higher Democrats. | |
| So there is effectively zero Democrats in the military. | |
| Certainly, I would imagine on the front lines, fighting and shooting and so on, right? | |
| So, when the Democrats, as they do in the media, when they provoke and exacerbate wars, what they're doing is they are eliminating the competition. | |
| And certainly, in a political stance, since those in the South and those in the military tend to vote Republican, they are eliminating voters, right, by sort of provoking these wars. | |
| Now, the question then is, and a lot of people have this great mystery, right? | |
| The great mystery is, Well, gee, why was the left so anti-war in the past, and now they seem to be so pro-war now? | |
| I mean, there's a number of factors. | |
| They are fighting. | |
| Russia tends to be more Christian and conservative and nationalistic and so on. | |
| And so, when America was fighting left-wing organizations, then the left tends to be anti-war, right? | |
| I mean, you can read all of this. | |
| Pinochet versus Allende. | |
| Allende was a socialist slash communist who was about to take over in Chile and then, you know, the famous solar helicopter things. | |
| So you've got these endless books about how awful he was and how noble and wonderful and lovely Allende, I think his name was, because he was left-wing and Pinochet was right-wing. | |
| So they hate that dictatorship, right? | |
| When you were fighting against the Vietnamese, the Vietnamese were communists, the North Vietnamese, or at least the soldiers were, or at least the leadership was, each soldier. | |
| So that was bad. | |
| Same thing with Korea. | |
| But the biggest difference, of course, was the draft. | |
| So when you had a draft, I mean, of course, a lot more left-wingers would hide out in universities or flee to Canada or some other place, right? | |
| But when you had a draft, then you had a much higher proportion of low-team or weak or leftist men in the military, and therefore they were anti-war because it was capturing a wider net of people, which eliminated friends as well as enemies. | |
| But now that the war, it's largely voluntary. | |
| I mean, it's not voluntary in terms of the taxpayers who fund it and all of that, but conscription is not a thing. | |
| The draft is not a thing. | |
| So now, if you get two armies fighting each other, you are going to be mostly eliminating high-T right-wing men, which... | |
| If you're a low-T left-wing man and you're amoral, then that's a way of eliminating your competition for social resources and women and political power and so on. | |
| So, yeah, I just wanted to, I just wanted to mention that. | |
| True, though, leftist, somebody says, no, James, true, though, leftist are typically less physically capable and so would be more likely to fail to qualify for the draft, at least until the more able-bodied were killed. | |
| I don't think you can get out of the draft just by being kind of short and weak. |
