Yeah, you're absolutely right. War is highly profitable. Genocide is
particularly profitable. We see that today where Bashar al-Assad is
benefiting handsomely by exterminating his Sunni Arab political
enemies. Not only him, but a whole army of United Nations bureaucrats
are getting paid to do studies, hold meetings, and issue statements
declaring outrage, proclaiming, "This is NOT acceptable!!"
But it's not just war that makes money. Take rape. Feminists love
as much rape as possible, because they make money from it.
However, rape is only a crime when the rapist is Republican. If
you're a girl or woman who's being violently raped by a Democrat like
Bill Clinton, then while he's banging around inside you, you might as
well just lie back and grit your teeth. Hell, you might as well even
try to enjoy it. But whatever you do, don't report it to anyone
because then Hillary Clinton or some Hillary clone will make sure that
you're beaten and raped again, and that your life will be destroyed.
That's the meaning of the feminist phrase, "The personal is
political." It means that rape itself is not the crime, and the girl
is not really the victim. The actual crime would be for the girl to
publicly accuse the Democrat of rape. That's an actual crime, and the
punishment for the perpetrator (the girl) will be harsh, severe and
possibly violent.
But that's only part of the story. The other part is that rape
by a Republican is where the feminists make all the money. However,
once again, it's not the rape itself that's the moneymaker. It's
the rape accusation against the Republican that makes money. Whether
there was an actual rape is irrelevant. It's the accusation that
makes the money. And what makes the most money is a false accusation
of rape, since then the man has to spend a lot of money on lawyers,
and then the feminists get a lot more money to fund the false
accusations.
Similarly, if a husband beats up his wife, then feminists pop open the
champagne bottles, because they can turn that into a whole slew of
funding for a flock of babbling divorce social workers. However, if a
wife scratches her husband's eyes out, then feminists will still make
lots of money by saying that the wife is the real victim.
Then there's climate change. Liberals love climate change, because it
gives the activists an opportunity to burn lots of jet fuel to attend
posh climate conferences. It also allows liberals to demand funding
for their favor political cronies and favorite warlords, who will use
the money to buy weapons.
There are many, many, many similar examples.
So Generals want more war, feminists want more rape, and liberals want
more climate change disasters. That's the way the world works.
