It's like being a vegetarian between meals.[Colman McCarthy] Quote:Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense.

Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey, mud pies. That's us.
