Thinking more about this article... https://open.substack.com/pub/martingeddes/p/the-pirates-of-palnackie?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Us ordinary folk can't do the big "saving the world" stuff like replacing he financial system and intercepting genocides; we can only smooth the way to peaceful resolution on the "far side" of these core military type activities.

However, the "saving the world" has to meet "saving your community" at some point. The grassroots change and the global change must bridge one another. I would guess that nobody in the military is aware of pirates of Palnackie committing treason, theft, and perjury.

It is those in the community themselves that have to press for justice for the criminals, as well as offering a path to repentance, reconciliation, and redemption to those who waver at the edges. We can't put everyone in prison who "played the game", society simply can't survive that.

A frustrating paradox of this, which I assume is the same for many, is that to be deep in the rabbit hole one tends to be a loner estranged from the community we are trying to save and if integration was difficult before, it is nigh on impossible now.

The answer to all of this is quite simple:
Leviticus 19:18
“‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord."
