Why did you ever need more than "you have something i dont, im going to kill and take it" or just enjoy causing distress in other living being?
>>18294033I know MAGATs struggle with the concept because they are morally bankrupt but there is such a thing as a just war.People need to feel like war is justified before they start supporting it
>>18294092>just warNo such animal. Murder does not become moral when flags, uniforms, and large numbers are involved. You do not get a pass because cowardly princes in castles told you to.
>>18294092You live in a spoiled age where you have access to electricity and a food surplus, and you only get to live under such cushy standards of living because ancient people were willing to conquer, murder and enslave their enemies.
>>18294033>you have something i dont, im going to kill and take it"you are dangerous, me and the guy from over there are going to kick your ass now""yes he took some stuff from this other guy, but he gave me a compelling reason why he deserved it so we're cool"
>>18294124>you only get to live under such cushy standards of living because ancient people were willing to conquer, murder and enslave their enemies.Not really. My standard of living is due to advances in science and technology.Did those ancient people invent indoor plumbing, electricity or penicillin?I don't think so
>>18294139You would beg for a warlord to lead you into plundering your neighbors after 6 months of no power and wal-mart.
>>18294139>ancient people invent indoor plumbing, The flush toilete was present 2000BC, romans had heated floors and pkumbing yes>electricity Egyptians had the first battery, greeks the steam engine>or penicillinYes, people did use penicilin to sterilize wound, same with silver, salt et c.Vaccines were knowns in the country side.Thats why you exposed kids early to certain illneses
>>18294033War on a large scale requires men who have to leave their homes/families and risk their lives. Not everyone is a jewish psychopath.
>>18294033because people within a nation need a reason to actually go to war beyond gib me that
>>18294609I think it depends on the time and place. Roman legionnaires were satisfied as long as they were consistently paid, had good plunder opportunities and received land grants after they were discharged.
>>18294643Romans believed that fighting unjust wars was literal blasphemy, but the actual justifications were flimsy, like justifying Gallic Wars with protection of Rome's allied tribes and justifying conquest of Greece with domino effect that started with dealing with pirates of Adriatic Sea.
