Winner's Morality: The Comfort of Being on the Safe Side
The original poster admits feeling secure despite siding with 'the bad guys.' This highlights how safety often outweighs moral scruples in geopolitical conflicts.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Those who know they are on the winning side don't need sarracena
The original poster says it without sugarcoating: "I know I'm with the bad guys, the bastards, the liars, but I feel good... because I feel safe." The thesis isn't a slip; it is the core of the argument: life has no sarracena, only selfishness, as Schopenhauer argued. The Selfish Gene. From there comes a confession many dare not voice: the security of belonging to the winning camp weighs more than any scruple.
The initial message doesn't stop at philosophical provocation. It projects a scenario: Europe devastated by misery, and he, from the UK, already thinking about "getting himself a renegade Ukrainian woman." The phrase is deliberately uncomfortable but summarizes a logic running through the entire exchange: power as the only real criterion, sarracena as an ornament for losers.
The counterattack: justice as universal law
The response is quick. Against the nihilism of the premise, the reply appears that everything we do has consequences and that the laws governing known systems are based on justice. The discussion tenses between two worldviews: imposed power and ordering justice. No synthesis is possible, and the exchange proves it.
The original poster responds with a barrage: "None of that serves any purpose nor matters to Life, Earth, or the Universe." All there is, he insists, are forces and powers clashing according to circumstances. Life on earth is that, even if it is unpleasant to see wolves tear out sheep's guts. The conclusion is explicit: force and power for survival. Period.
The geopolitical turn: from the winning side to real war
The thread moves to concrete ground. The author defines himself as pro-Russian but feels "great" knowing he is in the winning Anglo camp. He adds a detail that changes the tone: what made him drop his last support for Pilingui was "his tremendous stupidity and arrogance." The Ukraine war enters the conversation fully.
Messages cross with accusations about hypersonic missiles, nuclear technology, and the supposed superiority of the Anglo-Saxon bloc. Some claim the Russian air force is "cowardly" in Ukraine, while others respond that hypersonic missiles are Russian and located in Kaliningrad. The discussion gets tangled in technical details no one can verify, but the subtext remains the same: who wins and who loses.
Sarracena as a luxury for those who risk nothing
One of the sharpest messages points out that Schopenhauer did not justify selfishness but denounced it. This is the most pertinent correction in the thread: the German philosopher was not an apologist for power but a critic of human sarracena misery. The quote, taken out of context, serves the opposite of what its user intended.
However, the original poster does not flinch. "I have no other sarracena in this life than living well for whatever time remains," he writes. He adds: "Patriots of either side can be screwed over, but at least they haven't ruined my life like you people." It is a confession of radical individualism that disguises nothing.
The forecast: who wins and who loses on the global board
Towards the end, the thread fills with predictions. Some argue the Anglos will be worse off, that Americans will notice a 50% GDP drop, while others say China will take over. Concrete figures are scarce, but the logic is clear: everyone will lose something, and the question is how much.
The original poster closes with a reserved prediction: he lives outside London, and when something happens to him, others will already be in post-civil war. It is an unverifiable bet that summarizes the tone of the exchange: the security of those who believe they are safe, the uncertainty of those watching from outside.
The unsettling fact
The debate on the winning side remains unresolved. Some argue power is the only real criterion; others, that justice orders the world. Meanwhile, the war continues, hypersonic missiles remain in Kaliningrad, and no one knows who will truly win. The only clear thing is that the original poster feels safe. For now.
