Notable quotes
"The divide within society is nothing more than the gap between the maker and the taker. Charity and welfare makes people weak. The weaker they are, the more reliant they become on those who are their superiors. Like the parasites that fester in the womb of the lion, these wastrels feed off of the vibrant energies of the contributing class. We pay our taxes only to see them rise because a shell of a man decided to artificially inflate his influence by increasing entitlements to those who have done nothing to earn them. Their only claim to such benefits is that they were born and have a heartbeat. They do nothing of worth, they have nothing of worth, and worst of all, they are nothing of worth. Better society to be rid of these parasitic elements than to waste the energies of the community keeping less worthy 'citizens' alive."

"''Commonly it is said that 'war is simply the continuation of the argument by other means'. This is true in every sense of the word, as humanity almost inevitably carries its disputes into the field and over the bodies of those on the wrong side of the debate. It is likewise often stated that civilized people need not bend low to such 'barbaric' acts such as war, though this itself is nothing more than a fabrication. The greatest civilizations to have ever graced the human race such as the Greeks, Romans, Sumerians, Persians, Mughals, and Chinese, were all constantly at war at some point in their history. Indeed, those who claim war is an uncivilized act by uncivilized people say so to shield themselves from terrifying and inconvenient truths. Man is an animal. We crave violence and danger. We thrive in the hunt for the greatest of animals: our fellow Man! Nowhere in the annals of the great historians do we read of the pacifistic societies of humanity dominating vast periods of time with their arts, nor do we see any nations that survived into the modern-day without having expunged their lands of a rival nation. Alas, where would France and Germany have been birthed had their Frankish ancestors not carved their lands from the corpse of that other great giant Rome? We as humans must not hide from war and its bloody outcomes like children from the dark, but fully embrace it as merely another wondrous aspect of our humanity like brave fighting men. From the fiery storms of a wildfire come the fertile soils of ash. From the crashing of earthquakes and volcanoes new continents are formed. War brings rebirth, while peace brings stagnation. We are not children. We are men. And we face our innermost nature with bravery and resolve.''"
