FUTURIST.
“To me, what really matters, first and foremost, is the issue of war and peace. That’s always been my biggest issue. I genuinely don’t understand, from any political, ideological perspective, how that’s not the most important issue: if you’re a left-winger, and the basic, fundamental building block of your philosophy is that power dynamics can be abusive, and you want to be on the side of the people with less power [against] those who wield it over them — well, there’s no better example of that than war; if you’re a libertarian, and you care about government violating people’s rights — well, there’s no better example of that than war; and if you’re a right-winger, who cares about your nation and order, and things like this — well, there’s nothing more destructive to nations and order than war.” — Dave Smith
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love [only] those who love you, what reward have you?” ― Matthew 5:43-46
