I didn't mean Christianity, I meant Chesterton and Aquinas. Very elaborate explanations, great arguments, good writing - all to justify a failed model of the world.

This is basically Christian apologetics. We've collectively thought we were special for so long that must now go through increasingly complex mental gymnastics to prove to ourselves that we are somehow uniquely sentient, despite increasing evidence to the contrary.

Dog shit: staccato bullet points. Less than nothing. Customers repulsed. Rightly so. What really matters: actual content.

And now it's tweetable!

Well, no, because those aren't the actual parties of the conflicts.

In the case of USA/Iran the US is essentially Israel's proxy. It's up to Israel to decide when the fighting stops. OK, fine, Iran could capitulate and essentially stop being a country. They'll get right on that.

In the case of Ukraine/Russia Ukraine is a US+EU proxy. It is up to the EU leadership to decide when the fighting stops. OK, fine, Russia could capitulate and stop being a country. They'll get right on that.
