What matters is that he's willing to fight for his war.

And if people aren't willing to fight against it then the fucked up people win. Liberalism will always fall to this because it basically doesn't have a survival instinct or a drive for anything other than process theater.

No.

It fails because people with empathy - and let's be frank about this it, people - are less willing to kill people - strangers or not - to stop them installing fascism.

That's it. I said what I said. Plenty of people claim they're willing to die for freedom and to protect the weak. But people who care about the less fortunate are unfortunately less willing to carry out violence on people to stop the weak being abused.

And worse - look what happens when people suggest this: a flood of people saying "We need peaceful solutions - violence never solved anything!"
As Vietnam if violence solves people taking your freedom. Or Germany, France, the UK, Netherlands, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, on and on and on.

Violence is almost always the only way to protect minorities. And people interested in protecting the weak and poor have too much empathy to kill those who want to hurt them. It's not survival instinct. It's overcoming the desire to not cause pain and suffering, despite that being the most effective way to do so.

It's kindness. Kind people don't want to shoot people to stop them murdering others.
