It is, though, compromise and negotiation would be the healthy way to deal with these things, fighting over them is a failure of emotional control, it’s required by at least one side of those kinds of conflicts. And many a war was indeed fought due to kings having temper tantrums.

If your army can easily crush the enemy and they refuse to give you the resources you want, it's not an emotional decision to go to war to get it. It might be an immoral one, but so is demanding the resources in the first place.

You really see that as the emotionally healthy way to deal with these kinds of situations? Building an army and crushing all who cannot stand against you so that you can take what they have and force your control over them?

Telling. Very telling.

Immoral = emotionally unhealthy.

It's very telling that you think emotion has anything to do with it.

A better question is: what caused the dispute in the first place? Who the true aggressor?

You’re letting us know a lot about yourself there.

Yeah, like how I’m not a fucking sociopath.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I dunno, not being able to see the humanity of other people is worrying.

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah, that’s what I was pointing put the entire time.
