forgot to teach pic rel. Anyway, the meme about bad times creating strong men who created good times who created weak men, yeah that turned into the enlightenment thinkers and their arrogant disregard for warfare. Having never experienced the need of self-defense in their lives, as it seemed so distant in their past, despite France, Voltaire's home, at the time was only free from islam rule from the very Catholic wars centuries earlier he criticized. Populations Muslims invaded were turned into second class citizens. The enlightenment wouldn't even be possible if the church just turned the other cheek and let muslims conquer wherever they see fit.
You see the same problem today with liberals opening up borders because of rosy-lens ideals emanating from the peace that bloody men created, to combat incompatible cultural and governmental migration.
