Martin, Your Wisdom's Great, Yet, Must Call Bul....t On This One, One Of Reasons We're In WWIII:

https://allpoetry.com/poem/16684978-Martin--Your-Wisdoms-Great--Yet--Must-Call-Bul....t-On-This-One---by-Reality7

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a

descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks

to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies

it…Returning violence for violence multiplies

violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already

devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness;

only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate;

only love can do that.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."

First, what he defines as violence comes from 

academic supremacists pulling it out of their a..

to placate the matriarchy, that's actually also

the patriarchy and women's world.  Understood

to be, "behavior involving physical force intended 

to hurt, strength of emotion, unlawful exercise of 

physical force or intimidation by the exhibition of 

such force", yet, isn't "strength of emotion" readily

used throughout society constantly, not necessarily

to the detriment or damage of self or others?

I've struggled against 'spare rod, spoil child' my 

whole life, yet, can't the exemplifying of "strong

emotion" be educational to even kids?  So "an eye

for an eye makes the whole world blind", seems 

real, but isn't it just a conditional, situational 

historic realism, and not reality.  For the only 

thing that has secured sight and other liberties is

righteous force, so, actually, an eye for an eye is

the only thing that has ever allowed anyone to see.

Civilization's strides have always been by force.

No, there's no "ultimate weakness" of something

you've been told is "violence", there's no "spiral

that's descending", "begetting the very thing", 

you've been told, "it seeks to destroy.", while in 

some particular instances it might be right, it's

chock full of projections, spin.  There's no such

thing as "ultimate weakness of violence", while

there is ultimate weakness, repub criminal

insanity.  Supposed violence isn't replete with

weakness, as to suggest a gradation that would

Allow an accurate discourse called it's ultimate

weakness.  Violence is certainly understandable

as a subjective strata, today women consider

hitting mean in the groin to just be an on, off

switch, when it's probably lifelong destruction.

As well, so called violence doesn't "seek to 

destroy", it usually seeks to modify or control.

Then, defining violence as "evil" is rich, for,

if it actually "multiplies evil", it is evil, that's 

subjective.  Then he gets poetic, "returning 

Violence for violence multiplies violence."

That might be true sometimes, but not 

always.  Examples from arts, Jeet Kune Do,

Sifu Bruce Lee's style teaches the "way of 

the intercepting fist", in layman's terms, from 

an observers perspective, second person to 

strike hits first.  That is a relation, defensive

move that defeats the aggressor's move, even 

though it's begun after the first's aggression.

Then there's Shaolin Kung Fu, replete with

Using opponents aggression, moves against 

them.  As does Tai Chi, swirling, turning to

redirect the aggressor's force against them.

Also, Aikido exemplified here by Master Seagal,

which, literally takes the aggressor's moves 

and defeats them with them, sidestepping, 

swirling, etc..  Chi, Kung, etc..  Certainly the 

supposed left considers these violent, yet, 

that's so they control those soft brainwashed 

by them, in reality they're non-violent methods.

Thus, no "multiplying of violence", at worst, 

it's redirection until it's cessation.  Then he 

suggests that acts countering violence are 

darkness with, "Darkness cannot drive out 

darkness; only light can do that.", whereas

nonviolent acts that look like the violent ones

can misdirect, redirect the violent ones to their

ceasing, at minimum.  Then he even goes 

farther poetically with, "Hate cannot drive out 

hate; only love can do that.", ridiculous.  

He projects that acts countering violence are 

"hate", what?  Also, "love" can't "drive out 

hate", love's opposite isn't hate, it's apathy.

Compassion, empathy can dispel hate, but,

not drive it out.  Sure might might make right, 

but, it always makes wrong, fraternity rules,

applies, but that's giving perspective to the 

fact that power's measured in it's reserve, 

not in it's being exercised.  For, supposed

'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts 

Absolutely', informs that supposed power's 

what you do with what you have, real power's 

what you do with what can't be had.  An 

example, a consortium of global scientists who

figure out how much time's left before the 

minute hand hits twelve on World's Doomsday 

Clock are some of the best scientific minds on 

the planet, they're accurate.  Also, statements 

by global leaders, a collection of related fields

scientists all agree "we've never been closer 

To nuclear war than now."  The main reason 

cited is the conflict between USA and Russia, 

or more directly, the two heads of the bipolar 

axi of supposed global power, the repub 

conspiracy here and the totalitarian conspiracy, 

there.  But, this war with Russia was writ on

humanity's future large by the West's post-

WWII Allied leaders, and never veered from in 

actuality.  Our military smelling blood since 

1991, the break-up of USSR.  Ukrainian war 

Is just the thing. "30 seconds to midnight", the 

toll of tolerance of totalitarianism, notseeism,

supremacy exacted on all life on earth.  Now

that's real violence, the umbrella of which we 

all live under, separating us from reality and

determining our extant species, humanity be

extinct soon.  Tick tock, tick tock, Daliesque 

clocks are melting away, tick tock, Big Ben's 

clocked, as all timepieces that only tell time,

the grind, not the hour, the power of knowing 

What's fate, it's way, way past late.  Another 

god's tear, a trillion ton glacier, ice-cube, 

drops in the drink, the Artic ocean, sink or 

swim people, now, sink or swim.  Lone tear's 

story's seldom told, but, if I may be so bold, 

that calving of ice sheet shouts without, we're 

dying on the vine, not just from pandemic, 

nor it's adverse effects, like all ancillary 

illaging, also from global conflagration, 

unnecessary unending worldwide war, 

The largest polluter, climate crisis, eco-

systems pillaging.  What you say?  Earth's 

lungs, wondrous Amazon rainforest, on the 

chopping block to feed 'Man''s real religion, 

increasing their bottom line, greed, avarice.  

3 acres fall each second to the decadent who 

don't think our grandkids should get to breath, 

to breath?!?  Will that future deluge, 65% of 

the world's land mass under water be enough 

to awaken us, or will we ignore 'Inconvenient 

Truth', as Gore called it, 'til the bitter end, 

our extant species is extinct?  Do you love your 

kids, do your kids love theirs?  "History doesn't

repeat itself, it rhymes", Twain observed.  

US military trained up Afghanis for 20 years to 

eventually hold their own against the Taliban 

when we left, that day they surrendered to 

their enemies of 20 years.  Fighting former 

empires has a price, that price is one way or 

another, or every way, you're going to lose.  

President Zelensky, with all due respect to a 

great leader, didn't settle this at the Talk table 

like all of Russia's other neighbors, knowing a 

war with Russia would cost a minimum of dead,

100,000, 10's of millions, deprived, injured,

displaced, disabled, relocated, and his nation 

half flattened; because the US wants to 

criminally insanely destroy Russia, but, it won't, 

Russia will take what they would've got at talks, 

nuclear war's here, stop it now.  You see Russia

Doesn't have to put up with this game of WWIII, 

30 seconds left on Doomsday Clock, nuclear 

war possibly at their doorstep, US fighting them

'til the last Ukrainian, extreme violence, where

all the not-see world fights them behind the 

guise of Ukraine, abominable.  The Ukrainian 

shelling of the Russian held Nuclear Power

Plant near Zaporizhzhia indicates just how 

criminally insane the Ukrainians are, as puppet

of the West.  China knows it's next if Russia 

Falls, as does the other 20 Gov'ts, Regimes 

that are their allies, Russia will not lose the war,

even if they have to defeat the extremity of 

violence they're facing with a second, first

counterstrike of WMDs to end this global

conflagration.  Zelensky and the Wests toys

can't beat the continuing Russian Revolution.

Russia will take what's theirs, securing Crimea

and Russia's border with Ukraine from future 

US wars against it, US criminal insanity fails.

Here's hoping you and yours are well and will continue to be so.  Copy, share as you will.  Be well   :)   reality
