What was the point?
We survived World War II, swore “never again,” and promised to grow stronger together. Fast-forward, and instead of unity, we got capitalism DLCs, subscription-based friendships, and people arguing online over pineapple on pizza. Maybe the war never ended—we just turned the trenches into comment sections.

Or simply the prologue to a quieter war: one against ourselves, where unity is the casualty?

People will never agree on everything.
People always find things to fight over. For example even now we aren’t unified. I’m speaking about the entire world and not just here.

Rich vs Poor
Left vs Right
Race vs Race

The list goes on.
Operation Paperclip should tell you everything you need to know about how much honesty there really was behind that "never again" rhetoric.

Eternal vigilance is required to prevent reversion to mean human nature.
The problem is we fought the wrong enemy in WW2.

The Wars of Words,
Preferable,
To The Butchery,
Of Differences
This kind of fight a dirty war
civilians die each day and night
mistaken for the enemy
wanting to protect their homes
A rifle shot straight to the head
from an invisible enemy
a bullet fired around the corner
this is a hi-tech war
They are walking down the empty streets
with a shotgun in each hand
watching out for enemies
to shoot them down tonight
They call it MOUT and urban war
fish and chips describes it well
causing havoc in people's street
They are walking down the empty streets
with a shotgun in each hand
watching out for enemies
to shoot them down tonight
Here they do not fight a soldier
but common people as well
always in fear of attack
by snipers and booby traps
They are walking down the empty streets
with a shotgun in each hand
watching out for enemies
to shoot them down tonight
You can’t ever satisfy everyone. There is always someone complaining and someone taking steps to resolve that issue even if it’s violence.
I prefer Xero Daxter. She is real tea girl. Look her profile. She has pictures cute

Exactly. That’s why communism was pitched as the “fix”—one system, one goal, no room for complaints. The problem? Humans don’t stop being human. Even in equality, someone wants a bigger slice of the equal pie. The dream was unity, but the execution showed us that forcing satisfaction just creates a new battlefield.

If every story needs a villain, maybe the Cold War was less about truth and more about narrative control.
Pineapple on pizza is worth fighting another world war.
Maybe the war was a lie:riddler:

Yep, then there's the fact about all the corporate & financial support before the war started, one key example being the USA made & patented synthetic fuel, that helped in kick starting the Nazi war machine... :lunar2019deadpanpig:

Exactly. It's only a problem when it profits someone else
