Default The REAL insurgency

I wouldn't exactly call Mitch' ranting "ideology"... Ideology is based
on higher thoughts about what is "wrong" and "right", from a wide
perspective. And the way Mitch goes on with the old thoughts from the
50ties can hardly be called "perspective" or "higher thought".

My main gripe with the standard, and in america politically correct,
"let's play hardball" attitude is that it goes against the fabric of our
societies, namely the term "civilization".

The strong taking care of the weak simply cannot be regarded as
something bad, since it is what our society is built upon. You can argue
against it, yes, but then you argue against the term "civilization". A
normally functioning person will of course abstain from such a sacrilege.
