Morgil, you insist on believing that all actions have material causes.
The Baader-Meinhof gang claimed to act against poverty and oppression, but how much was that really the case, and how much were they just middle-class kids who had intoxicated themselves on political extremism? Talking of ideiology run amuck - in Sweden, we have the Animal Liberation Front - teenagers who do incredibly stupid things like setting fire to meat trucks or releasing minks from mink farms. (Those minks who do not refuse to leave their cages usually end up mashed by the cars on some highway or in the belly of some fox or weasel. They simply are not fit to live on their own.)in fact, people are capable of killing for religious or nationalist or ideological causes.Bagronk the Happy Orc
Agree. But nationalism and religious fanatics often grow on the seed of material causes. Such as poverty or oppression.
