What if this war had been real?


I know it is only a movie but suppose people would one day actually be stupid enough to wage war, would it be anything like depicted here? Because who in their right mind would listen to anyone telling you to go and kill others? Science teaches us that only 25% of people are capable of such violence, so why bother going along with such an event in the first place? I guess we'll never know.

Well, a lot of it has to do with realities and lies.

For instance, I work in mental health. I have had to fight and body slam insane people. Some were murderers in the community having psychotic episodes. I remember one guy going crazy attacking nurses in a hospital. I run up to him, picked him up over my head and slammed him into a gurney to knock the wind out of him. Me and the nurses chained him to it while I held him down. I rubbed his hand sloothingly as he was cuffed to the gurney.

My point there is that sometimes we must attack crazy people. Stuff like judaism, islam, Nazism are all the same things. They are human invented ideas that drive people insane. In PA, the government has had to attack Amish people and force disease prevention on children.

Muslims and Nazis are normal people driven insane by their peers and family. They will attempt to hurt you based on their nonsense ideas, and so sane people must attack or kill them to eliminate their thought virus.

On the other hand, people will fall for propaganda, lies.

So, you can make people who want to live their own lives, like Communists, seem evil. So, you tell a bunch of lies about what Communism is, then they seem like evil monsters who need to be killed.

So, nice people will kill because they are up against genuinely insane people who believe killing is good. People will kill if they are tricked into believing others are evil and want to kill.

Huh? It was real! Where have you been? Down the rabbit hole? World War l was one of the worst wars in history. “Mustard gas was used during World War I; the Germans were the first to use the gas as a chemical warfare weapon in 1917. Mustard gas was a useful method for breaking the deadlock resulting from trench warfare, where soldiers avoided "no man's land," the area between two trenches.”
