        granted i haven't met that many, but they all had a very hobbesian view that leviathan is necessary to maintain peace and order, mixed in with hiroshima apologia, "the destruction of alderaan was good actually if it hastens the end of this bloody civil war the galaxy is in" kind of thing

          That's wild. Just wait until you tell them it doesn't matter how big the bombs get, it has no impact on the decision to end a war.
