Violence is the ancient judge of ownership.
|
|
|
|
Particularly, violence judges ownership of the two most important goods: women and land.

Since World War II, we have taught pacifism in every walk of life. Schools have shifted to non-violent discipline, and have adopted “zero-tolerance” for fighting. The Department of War has been named the Department of Defense. Even a parent spanking a child has become controversial.

Every act of aggression must be described as a “pre-emptive strike”; every villain in movies is the bully who wants to fight. Every class says “sharing is caring” — because otherwise, what happens? Someone gets hurt.

Is it any wonder, then, that the West has been losing women and land?

It is a common misconception, actually, that violence ended in the West because of nuclear weapons. But, by the Korean War we had lost our appetite for fighting. And then we began to fantasize. We began to *Imagine*.

After the war, America could have taken more land. America could have taken more women. But did we? No. And so what happened? We lost land, and we lost women. Same with Britain and all of Europe.

We never subjugated the rest of the world; we just assumed that we were finished. We assumed that everybody would respect non-violent allocation of land, and we could all play by non-violent rules. We stopped playing the Game of Life. That quitting has destroyed us.

Every day, violence is required to repel immigrants. Violence is required to protect women. No number of nuclear weapons or invention of fancy technology can replace it. Violence is our required role. We must get back to it.

We must use force to grow the nation.
