    Who are your enemies? Why are they your enemies? What is your objective regarding your enemies?

    I consider the government my enemy. Especially all the large major corporations because all they do is steal from the poor and tear up the earth doing it.

    It seems as if people have enemies, and do not think twice about it. “These are my enemies. Nothing more. Nothing less.” So to speak. But they have no objective. It seems as if people do not understand that the objective is to not have enemies.

    The object is to have no enemies. In order to do so, you usually have a specific objective regarding your enemy.
    Examples:
    1. Eradicate your enemy.
    2. Convert your enemy to your supporter.
    3. Avoid your enemy.
    4. Coexist with your enemy.
    5. Join your enemy.


    The point for me regarding my enemies is to convert them to my supporter.
    Reasons America is my enemy:
    1. America is oppressive.
    2. America is fakist.
    3. America is unjust.
    4. America destroys the environment.

    The object for me is to convert America into a free nation that cultivates the environment and all humans prosperously under true justice.


    Who are your enemies? Why are they your enemies? What is your objective regarding your enemies?

    Anybody that thinks violence is going to work is on crack.
    First there is no practicality in violently going up against the strongest military.
    Second, killing is wrong. The ends do not justify the means. The objective is to save lives not take them.

    The enemy of my enemy’s friend….is my friend.

    The purpose of an enemy is to die and make your life worth living.

    It seems that if something being oppressive, fakist, unjust, and destroying the environment are your points for making someone your enemy, i'd imagine you have an endless supply of enemies! Is it really that simple for you? You hate America because of those reasons?

    Don't change what I say just to fit your own agenda.

    The only reason you have enemies is because you troll around looking for a fight. It seems that everyone is your enemy and you'll never want anyone to be a friend. You are a very sad and lonely person.

    there is no purpose for having enemies, enemies occur due to the negative aspects of our nature.

    I know, because the only place I can have “friends” in, is on internet Forums.
    Like you.

    But if it's to be a "free" nation, then if a citizen wanted to pollute a river or burn down a forest, who's to stop him? And if some DOES try to stop him, how can you call it free?

    You also say "true justice" ...what is that? And who is to determine what it is? And what if some of the citizens don't agree with that justice?

    You try to weave a perfect world, but then you imply that you're going to leave IM-perfect humans to occupy it and to work in it. How can you expect humans to all agree on anything? And if they don't, with it being a "free nation", you surely can't make them, can you?

    I think you should re-think your ideals and try to see it in light of human weaknesses and human violence and human greed. 'Cause if you don't, you're just dreaming of utopia and fairy tales.

    Purpose of enemies?

    It's a pyschological repsonse to competition.

    Violence works? Doesn't seem so. We tried that for millions of years. Maybe we should try something different?

    We can't, imo. Not humanly possible. For something different to work, I think we must become something more than human. If that is possible. I don't know.

    In the word "can't" lies instant defeat...

    Well obviously, the problem is that there is no reason for any single person in America to be living in destitution. The economic system in America is set up for destruction. America is an enemy that must be stopped. What more reason do you want?
