When pondering “lethality,” this quote from Sherman in 1865 comes to mind:

“War means success by any and every means; it is not fighting alone. Bulls do that, and bears, and all beasts, but men attain objects by intellect, and the introduction of physical power, moved upon strategic points."

virtue signaling is good! it's good to signal virtue, it's good to practice virtue! it's bad to be so cynical and bitter that you can't even see that.

The public display of virtue is vital if you want a virtuous society! This is why reactionaries/conservatives hate it, undermining civic virtue is essential to their authoritarian desires.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

it's Burnout Paradise but I am telepathically projecting all of my good will towards racing games into the new Star Wars racing game coming out in the hopes that it'll be as sick as it looks

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
