“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
