Can I recommend to you that you read George Orwell's 1984?It answers that question, but you are right, it's not intended to be fought for "good" it's purpose is destruction but you need to read that

Such growth of one ultimately goes at the cost of the opportunities of others, and the result is a conflict.There is not much to be done against this, because striving for growth is innate to life, and there's no way to suppress such conflicts because of their size.

Growth can also be achieved without resolving into violence.
That's some Miss USA talk.
Oil is a bitch.
actually everybody really needs the oil.If the oil is gone, chaos and anarchy will emerge
'Oh I can't see him, I can't see God', YA'LL CAN'T SEE FUCKIN' AIR NEITHER!
Prove to me the wind. Show me the wind man. I want proof of that shit. Cuz I don't see it.
sometimes war is very necessary. the last few major wars have been bullshit, but once in a while, war is the only answer.
