[Transmission 25] [text] ANGSTY TL;DR: THE SECOND COMING. This time, he's getting paid for it.

[00ne]

One year ago today, I wrote about how humans crave the state of flux, especially that between peace and war. We are, by nature, in a constant need to reinvent ourselves. By extension, at the same time we crave raw destruction, we also crave the desire for familial closeness and "love", which I believe is why this particular holiday, which started

Merry Christmas, Heero.

I think it can be. Parts of it, at least, though I'm not sure "herd" would be the word I'd use. When you're talking about group dynamics, you've already started talking about a body more likely to react as a body, despite what the individuals think, because it's easier to be part of a whole than it is to be one of the outliers. Safer too, and from what I've seen, that's something almost all sentient species are partly aware of.

Exceptions exist. Entire species spend decades associating with just themselves, not even their own fellows, but... You've read the history of the babelfish?

[No, no you can't B]]]

Merry Christmas.

I'd call that a herd.

Well, of course exceptions exist, this only applies to herd animals. Non-herd animals, of course, I can't yet say I consider myself qualified to speak on.
It enabled herd behaviors- or rather, discussion between various herds- however caused tensions to grow even more volatile between groups, yes?

I think Dick tried that once. Something about the Joker kidnapping Gordon, I forget.

Merry Christmas, asshole.

No. Wars are never over, they only hibernate.

[00ne]

In a manner of speaking, yes. You could say that the idea of revenge is a cultural manner of passing war down through generations, like a tradition.

[sing_bluesilver]

A tradition that loses all meaning over the years until it is nothing more than something that is done because it was what was done before.

[00ne]

As if war truly had a meaning in the first place. It's never much more than propaganda to begin with.

[Forward dated, huh? That means he sounds like shit, Heero. Enjoy him not being that loud.]

It was a nice message until you have to go into the politics deal.
