Of that I have little doubt.
However, talk is cheap and I know as one who can talk way outside what my ass can cover. … Yet it still somehow works out so I don't know what that means just yet.
It is my opinion that those who have failed to drain the swamp as they were tasked with have zero grounds to complain about the methods we then choose to drain said swamp and the costs incurred. I do not have big budget teams of experts. I have a pointy stick and some permutations thereon. While I am capable of what I think are great intellectual feats, my instincts are quite keen on the lizard brain.
I see this threat facing us as existential and to be corrosive to the purpose and meaning of life. That is to say, if these people win, life on this planet loses all meaning and purpose.
I would like to raise a family some day. There is even a specific woman I have in mind for this and would like to see the world healed and a potential for us in the future. …. She may find me absolutely repulsive after coating myself with the blood of countless people, provided I survive - so… I would prefer alternatives to what I see as an inevitable crisis I have lived in the shadow of since I was a boy. I grew up knowing this would come in my lifetime and having a pretty accurate timetable as to when. I consider myself damaged because of this realization and not quite fully functioning as a human being, as I have always lived knowing this war was on the horizon.
So… I dunno… Where am I at? I see the only way for me to have anything approaching a normal life is to resolve said crisis and that life is basically pointless if we accept failure. So, I will fight as though the very concept of existence is in the balance if pushed to it.
Which is why I identify strongly with Homura Akemi, for those who get the reference.
