Love as a Weapon / Spiritual Warfare

[xise]

While we're on the subject of battle being unwise. Call me crazy, but in my 3D veiled state I think the civil war was one of the better wars an "aggressor" could wage.

That's a good example. To the extent that overt slavery was abolished that was a beneficial development. On the other hand, the civil war wasn't all about slaves. It also resulted in the consolidation of economic power in the hands of a few "elite" central bankers. This, in turn, has resulted in the virtual enslavement of a large swath of the population to a system of perpetual indebtedness.

Right, but I hope you would agree that this financial control is still better than being in a society more than 1/5 of the population were slaves and were seen as property in the eyes of the law.
