#1 Human nature is unchanging and remains irrational. Evil is eternal. Unfortunately, appeasement is often seen by thugs not as magnanimity to be reciprocated but as timidity to be exploited.

This is the giant blind spot in the brain of the NPR-listening pseudointellectual class. They don't understand this basic proven truth that VDH can lay out in three simple sentences.

They really think they can buy the world a Coke.

This is what happens when you want a narrative to be true so badly that you ignore reality. This is what happens when you are taught Zinn/Chomsky history instead of real history. This is what happens when a nation has been too wealthy for too long and lots of its citizens never really struggled or had to deal with adversity and their view of human nature is based on living in philosophically insular enclaves like college campuses or tony, chic urban neighborhoods, doing jobs that aren't really productive or necessary but exist due to said affluence.

When the bad times come for those types, and the thugs foreign OR domestic) are standing before them with a gun, they really think that they can say, "No, you don't understand, I was against the Iraq War, and I voted for Obama. and I hate Christians, and I believe in diversity!", and the thugs will say, "Oh, okay, I'll just leave now". There is literally no understanding that the thugs won't even spare the breath to laugh before they blow the squishy leftist's brains all over the wall behind her.

#2 I've been noticing the old LOVE not war crap again.

What anyone that spouts such drek never seems to realize is that Love requires two to agree. I can love someone completely but if they have nothing but contempt and disdain for me the future is not bright.

They never seem to realize that "the enemy gets a vote". If they vote for war you're going to be at war.
