• (WarpLink) My point about LeftAndRight prejudices in favour of contexual or personal explanations. Interesting how Barnett asserts that wars are not against macroscopic agents (eg. nation-states, religions) but against personal. It's a very rightist view. And yet it alerts us to the fact that these figures are myths who are manufactured by propaganda.
