Yes, it’s amazing how quickly principles can wilt when there’s no food on the table. Or, rather than wilting, they’re transformed and the believers truly think this is what they’ve always believed in.

Reading Walt’s comments reminded me of reading about Huntington’s “Clash of Civilizations”.
Back then, it had brought me an association to the struggles in Northern Ireland, and how they were perpetuated.
I thought, this is a trap. It’s a trap to lure the peoples of the world into default opposition (to something, or someone, or some people), so that we can all be controlled.
So that the instigators (on both sides) can be free to do as they wilt, though it harms all.

That fear is still with me. Now we have economic crises to distract us even more… it took just six years to get from 1933 to 1939. That’s something we must remember.
