But where does such a choice comes from in the first place?
Did you read what my questions properly? I asked: "
How does one bring about the choice of starting, or fighting a war, in his/her psyche?"
You can keep on saying how people are influenced by propaganda and hence supported the decision of war-mongers.
But what really is going on in the minds of war-mongers that lead to choose such an option that condones violence?
That is the question.
And do you understand why ORGANIZED VIOLENCE is needed? Do you understand why words of logic, common sense, and fact, sometimes DO NOT WORK?
Deadlocks,
<<And do you understand why ORGANIZED VIOLENCE is needed?>>
Organized Violence is NOT needed.
Human may have violence tendency. But, in order for ORGANIZED VIOLENCE such as WAR to happen, it needs
A) The ORGANIZER
B) People willing to be ORGANIZED
Without (A) and (B), it cannot happen.
And, for (B), the PEASANT aka FOOLS, they GAINED NOTHING from WAR. They lose their lives and much munch more. So, it is KIND to call them STUPID and IGNORANCE.
Stupid is Stupid does.

It is VERY SIMPLE. If you want to stop WAR, we need to get rid of the mind set that WAR is necessary and needed. Now, if you do not want to stop WAR, what is there to discuss?? People can blame rock, stone, arrows, and guns for killing people in the WAR.
Read "Art of War" by Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu has a very impartial and honest view of what war is. It is JUST a political tool by the ruler.
