Bandit Logic Is Still Logic — History Doesn't Believe in Tears!

Throughout history, plenty of people have been sacrificed. From the standpoint of life itself, life is born to be sacrificed — if you disagree, then produce someone who hasn't died, who hasn't been sacrificed. Obviously, such a person doesn't exist. People are sacrificed for one reason or another, and this includes life itself as well as everything else. Sacrifice is the normal state of life.

The issue is not sacrifice itself. The issue is who is exploiting the question of sacrifice to launch attacks, and against whom. Don't assume that anyone who strikes a pose of dying heroically is some kind of hero — 90% of them are just posturing. Of the remaining 10%, 90% of those were on stimulants or given injections. Among the genuinely heroic, you'd be lucky to find one in ten billion. And even that one will ultimately just be turned into a deity icon for others to parade around in swindling schemes.

Sympathizing with the sacrificed is a matter of emotion. But from a rational standpoint, such sympathy is often exploited by those with ulterior motives. Throughout history, all evil has originated from the masses' kindness — the kindness of the masses is the best hiding place for the ill-intentioned. Using others' sacrifice to add luster and points to oneself — this is the ultimate goal of all those with ulterior motives.

Bandit logic is still logic. What will eliminate bandit logic is certainly not rationality. The reason those with ulterior motives can keep getting history's bandit logic perpetuated into present reality is that there is too much so-called emotion and rationality — yet history has never consisted of emotion and rationality alone! History has nothing to do with kindness. History has nothing to do with evil either. History is simply history — history is forged in blood and iron!
