First off, I don't agree with depicting the moralists as a "horde of vultures". Vultures never prey on fellow bird species, only their deceased and they take no pleasure in it. They are simply needed for life and in the days to come.

My own observations seem to align with these - people really do seem to celebrate the murder of a civilian far more than the killing of Russian generals or the sinking of the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. It is a strange and disturbing phenomenon.

That's what Joker was trying to get across in The Dark Knight film. "Nobody panics because it's all part of the plan." Because for centuries, war has been upheld as a glorious, honorable, noble and good thing, a virtue in itself, a privilege to die for. All this senseless killing has been to satisfy one's pride.

"Xerxes must make war on Greece, not because its conquest will add to the greatness of the Persian Empire, nor out of revenge for the Athenian attack on Sardis, nor because Athens represents a threat. He must go to war because changing his mind, once he has announced his decision to go to war, gives the appearance of weakness."

Whether the vision was true or merely from his subconscious (as implied by the third vision), the fact remains that Xerxes did not wage war in the usual Western pagan manner, with openly stated intentions. All this senseless killing has been secretly to satisfy one's pride.

War is an euphemism for officially sanctioned mass-killings. When people who've never experienced wartime conditions excuse their conduct by saying "war has its own laws" or "war is hell", and by invoking the "law of the jungle" and "might is right", they're really saying war is supernatural, that it exists beyond natural laws, that the actual laws of nature ("free play of forces" – AH) don't apply to their concept.

All of this jargon serves to masquerade the fact that man-made war is purely bred from artificial conditions (waged for profit, power, pride, revenge), not truly patterned on the animal kingdom (territorial war for the feeding ground – AH). This can be read in their post-war stipulations and demands for reparations. Whenever treaties attach the question of guilt, they've ceased to be treaties.

In fact, I have just the perfect quote in mind for this! The writer appears to have ascribed too much influence to the environment and education, at the expense of racial influence, but the weight of his racial background can be turned against his kinsmen as an indictment.

"The more justice you seek, the more hurt you become because there's no such thing as justice. There is whatever there is out there. That's it... The point is we have to redesign the environment that produces aberrant behavior. That's the problem. Not putting a person in jail.
That's why judges, lawyers, 'freedom of choice': such concepts are dangerous because it gives you mis-information that the person is 'bad', or that person is a 'serial killer'.
Serial killers are made, just like soldiers become serial killers with a machine gun. They become killing machines, but nobody looks at them as murderers or assassins because that's 'natural'. So we blame people. We say, 'Well this guy was a Nazi. He tortured Jews.' No, he was brought up to torture Jews."
– Jacque Fresco, Jewish American futurist

This is in agreement with Plato's study of the origins of Laws, who had indicated that mankind's fall from paradise into war-torn societies originated with the need for lawgivers, interpreters.

When Heath Ledger's Joker declared that "the only sensible way to live is without rules", he wasn't advocating for a lawless state of affairs. He was condemning bad policies, artificially maintained conditions (i.e. scarcity). Those who boast about their principles are really upholding policies. Hence, their principles dropped at the first sign of trouble.

The British policy of maintaining their precious "balance of power" beyond its expiration date was a bad joke. Regard for outdated notions. It wasn't for the sake of their empire, for world peace, for ideological triumph, etc. The world war was waged on behalf of a slip of paper, in the inexcusable defense of bad policy. All for the Treaty of Versailles!

What Joker's saying is no different from Stranger Things' Vecna or James Bond's Safin. "All while enforcing a structure of their own. A deeply unnatural structure. Where others saw order, I saw a straitjacket. A cruel, oppressive world dictated by made-up rules." These are distorted portrayals of idealists as anarchist madmen, corrupted by wrong methods, but when closely examined, speaking sublime truths about our world. Western media goes to great lengths to discourage people from following such examples by associating it with extremism and megalomania.

Not Robespierre (upon whose shoulders falls the blame for French Revolution's violent excesses), but Rousseau (spearheaded French Revolution's ideals, but blamed for the French Revolution's decline)!

Rousseau obviously wasn't calling for a return to primitive living, running away into the wilderness. He was indicting Western civilization (not Western culture; i.e. greatness in the arts) as completely and fundamentally artificially designed down to its very roots and urged for the need to build from new foundations, against pseudo-liberalism (incorporating antagonisms + band-aid fixes), against Western democracies. Sparta was always Rousseau's cornerstone.

Hitler was merely carrying out Rousseau's vision of a society modeled on the natural order. In Otto Wagener's memoir, he upholds Alexander the Great as an instrument of god and champion of Western culture.
