Are you a Liberal or a Realist?

[Rowan]

Yeah but terrorism is an expression of realism.

The funny thing about realists is that often their perspective feels defeatist, even when posturing. E.g. a realist tends to be "hard on terrorism". Yet a realist, if the shoe was on the other foot, would be a terrorist. That's why ISIS isn't exactly suing for peace. [B]The world could do with less ISIS, for the same reasons it could do with less Trump. An honest realist knows that a war on terrorism cannot be won.

For myself, I'm just content with people believing that my country doesn't really exist, and living in a small town thereof, just getting on with my life, feeding my chickens. Fight over the mote of dust all you want.

I disagree wholeheartedly. All wars can be won but that doesn't mean that there arn't long lasting impacts, if thats what you're getting at. You say a war on terrorism cant be won, so whats your answer then? Lay down arms and allow them to continue murdering people? I mean, yeah go on with your life by all means and just let everyone else fight and die for your right to feed your goddamn chickens.
