Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.
RULES
-
No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

The reason history is like that, is because smart people are peaceful. They are wise. The violent emotional hateful greedy people are the idiots.
The idiots sometimes get a lot of power, and spread hate, and chase wealth and power with force.
This forces the smart people to become fighters as well. So they put all their brains into defeating the hateful assholes responsible for war.
And of course, they are good at it. Because they are smart.
Wish it was that simple.
There's nothing simple about it. Trust me. There's a lot of smart people just trying to lice their lives that will be forced into focusing on fighting tyranny.
I agree it's somewhat like this, but as PJ said, it's a little less simple than that.
Please define how you are using the word smart because I don't think you mean intelligent.
Intelligent people are just as horrible as the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet.
Humans, en masse, are fucking horrible to each other while paradoxically thinking they are saints
