Ladies and Gentlemen of Humanity:
This is how we find out what is really what.
And who is really who.
It's all just part of the process.
We have all passed a point in this War, beyond which such luxuries as 'being nice' and 'playing nice' are forever gone with the wind ... 'ground into the dust by merciless boots' -- is more like it.
We are fighting creatures that are sure they can win where the Nazis and Marxists failed.
We defeated both the Nazis and the Marxists -- and not by being nice in any way.
This War will not be won by the 'nice people'.
And apparently, it will have to be won despite the 'nice people'.
If there really are any 'nice people' left.
What I see as a fatal error on our side is having amongst us, people who would rather be thought of as 'being nice' (and being seen as 'being nice') than actually winning the War.
Reasons and motivations are like drops of rain, they are so many and varied, but the pressures and sufferings of this War are going to steadily increase -- not decrease.
And, all of the motivations that just were not strong enough or aware enough -- will wash away. And with the rain will go many of the 'nice people'.
I just hope they land somewhere safe - and stay out of the way.
