The sane people of this world want nothing more than to live in peace and harmony and enjoy the one life they’ve got. They make up the overwhelming majority of human beings, unfortunately there’s always been a small number of power-crazed idiots who are determined to fuck things up for the rest of us. Thousands of people, or hundreds of thousands, have to die so that these sick arseholes can feel that their existence has been justified.
Alexander the Third was called ‘The Great’ because he never lost a battle, not because there’s anything great about slaughtering people. He was King of Macedon for thirteen years and spent most of that time conquering everybody from Greece to north west India. Not in the least satisfied with this, he was fully intending to continue marauding in an easterly direction but his army flatly refused to go any further, they’d had enough and wanted to go home. Reluctantly accepting he couldn’t do it on his own, he decided to head back. Not long after, he fell ill, lay in excruciating pain for twelve days and died. Served him right, the cunt.
Since then we’ve had Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler and other lesser-known wannabe’s, all obsessed with their ‘legacy’ and lacking the sense to realize when to quit. The two main players these days are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping who are unchallenged dictators in their own countries, where they maintain a laughable version of democracy for appearance’s sake. Who in their right mind, being a virtual king in a country the size of Russia or China, would feel the need to take over a neighbouring state by force? If there’s any consolation to be had after all the mindless bloodshed, it’s that most if not all of these twats come to an unpleasant end.
