If you cannot link this attitude to what is happening all over the West now you are beyond all hope of achieving the capacity for clear reason in your lifetime.
The only way you manage to keep an empire alive is through hate and death.
Forgiveness and diplomacy is what lead us here. From the reservations for the feather Indians, to allowing freed slaves to live, to allowing homos to take to the streets, to allowing for perverts to walk around in public in women's clothing and enter women's restrooms without catching ass beatings and lynchings.
This attitude will end this century and I couldn't be happier that you will see its death knell. All of human history will remember what has happened since 1965's Civil Rights Era and how wrong every single person who was for it ended up in the end, and how we should've listened to those nasty 'mean people' from the start.
I respect your position but I also need to tell you, respectfully, you are wrong.
Its not just about winning boss, its how you win.
Does anyone remember Caracalla or how about Galba? No they dont, the ones that do are the sick puppys wanting to emulate them or the nerd losers trying to learn from history. Guess who people do remember, Julius Caesar, Markus Aurelius, Augustus. Why? was it beacuse they were the most feared or hated or most physically powerful?
No! it was they were kind, compassionate, forgiving while also being cunning, strong, and capable. Goodness does not mean weakness, I know it sounds lame and gay and like a fake Disney plot line but check the scoreboard and see just how many of the "mean people" history cares to even remember, the few that do are given no more than a kill count and a name.
Love is unironically creation
Hate is unironically destruction
doe that mean universal acceptance and tolerance of everything without question or evaluation? absolutely not. It means when you find yourself at an impass of opinion with another person or group and you feel the animosity boiling into hate Id challenge you this, try to find the single thing in this apparent "opponent" you could see in yourself. It dosent have to be big at all, maybe you can just think for a moment to a time when you might have been to caught up in a personal issue it felt others were not understaning and became unreasonable as a result, are the situations comparable? hell no but in that moment you stopped seeing the other person as an enemy just for a moment and were able to empathize, if not agree with, a very human mindset.
I dont wanna preach at you anymore than I already am my man but just suffer me driving the point home and give me my puzzle piece after. That negative energy you feel when your passionate about this issue, thats coming from somewhere man, and its not from above. The big guy lets us have freedom of will and the big pitfall with that is the "other side" gets a chance to influence and manipulate you and they are DANG good at it cause that is there only power.
Anytime you feel some sense of pride of even happiness from something as evil as hate you need to know thats coming from a very dark place my brother and you mistake its manufactured self superiority for power.
Civil rights? Trannys? these are the hills you die on in the name of anger and bitterness? Social domestic issues? 80 years ago guys were bleeding out in muddy trenches to stop people they would never meet from being exterminated and you wanna cry about DOMESTIC SOCIAL ISSUES?
What men like Metternich and Bismark would have done for those challenges instead of crumbling monarchies and collapsing empires.
You think when Washington was in Valley Forge he was like "Yea its cold and im starving but thank god I dont have any men in dresses I need to deal with"
Wonder if during the Bronze Age Collapse the 8-10% of remaining humanity from the destroyed regions was huddled in a ramshackle campsite saying "well at least we dont have to deal with darkies asking for rights"
