Make Love Not War

What people don't like they declare war on. There's a war on drugs, a war on poverty, a war on pornography, a war on violence--there's a war for everything society can't come to accept as a fact of life. It's always a fruitless passion plea to liberate our children from having to grow up in a world full of wars by launching some of our own. War on Drugs? No, War on Peace is more like it. Apparently society thinks it best to force children to live in the midst of a battlefield where the trenches they charge have become the hallways of their schools, and their bedrooms, foxholes. Trip wire snakes the great expanse that surrounds them under the clear blue sky, and though all was set up to keep them safe from the savage society, all it takes is one wrong step beyond that wire for the most unassuming of them to get wrapped up in the No Man's Land of culture's creation.

All is done at the original behest, the love for children, the desire to keep them safe and happy. But make no mistake, the warmongers have suffered a serious perversion, a sexual sickness no less. They are gratified at their power over children and their sway over other adults whom they can trample over in their crusade to save the children from evil. They've suffered a serious perversion of their goals indeed, these who launch wars in society in an effort to keep children safe, as doing such is motivated less by their stated purposes and more by the need to quell the inner demon of fear. They are just as selfish as the monsters they war against--those who spread the message of peace and love, who end up revealing their wars for what they really are. The warmongers become the selfish monsters they hate, exploiting children for their own gratifying gain.

This is why the term "culture war" is accurate. Society deteriorates the moment its preservation is fought for from the heart. If we were using our heads, we'd know society's preservation doesn't need fighting for. Working for, yes. Fighting for, no. Our children's safety is not something we need to fight for (unless a particular child is in immediate danger). Once we begin fighting for something, we cease working towards it, and that's the plain truth. The only thing that can result is a body count from there on out--the second some general idea of children is fought for, individual children slip through the cracks, lost and sacrificed for the cause. The ideology takes precedence over their actual welfare. The tautology keeps the phantom afloat and lets the flesh and bones sink. It turned the so-called War on Drugs into the highly profitable incarceration machine that it is and Zero Tolerance from a push to up the penalties on violence into the lucrative school-to-prison pipeline it has become.

These perversions were inevitable from the start. War has always been bigger business than peace just as lust has always been bigger business than love. The CL preaches a love for children and has the wisdom to take a step back and not declare their own wars on the culture. The happiness of their partners is more important than any social ill enforcing their oppression. No culture war against the forces that harm children could possibly match the ecstacy of seeing a child happy in their eyes.

To love a child is to launch a peace movement against all those who get off launching wars. This is why those who love children are hated by the culture warmongers--those who preach Zero Tolerance or the War on Promiscuity with such fervent passion. They get off on persecuting those who harm children like the MAA gets off on a child's smile. They sweep children up in their hatred, launch their wars against society and then send their children to school in the midst of a battlefield to satisfy their selfish lust, and of course, order the destruction of all those who would speak of love for children.

MAA people simply don't do that, which is why they don't stand a chance outside attaining the affections of their young friends. Nothing else is needed to fill the void left in their heart.
