      Generals gathered in their masses. Just like witches at black masses.

      Great question. See, a farmer can’t stay behind and command the state because he is a farmer. The heads of state and the elite cannot all perish in trenches because then all that would remain are farmers. Established heirarchy for organizational power was invented probably by whatever primates we evolved from, and is observed among even some other species of primate.

        Our country was built on well educated farmers taking up positions of governance. We’d be fine.

        A country without farmers will perish, a country without “elites” will make do.

        I saw a picture of George Washington leading troops on a crappy boat. Why isn’t Biden out on a crappy boat somewhere? Lol

          Why wasn’t Trump? Why wasn’t Obama? Why wasn’t Bush? It’s hardly just Biden.

            George Washington did lead troops one time as president, with the secretary of the Treasury at his side.

            There was a little revolt over taxes on whiskey and when he showed up they surrendered.

            Yea there’s no way the first person over a wall wouldn’t get immediately mercd by everyone on top who isn’t fighting anyone yet.
