Qui a besoin de la guerre ? <\/strong>
Certainement pas les habitants d\u2019un pays. Qu\u2019importe pour eux de se trouver de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la fronti\u00e8re ou de l\u2019autre (dans le cas des guerres de conqu\u00eates), du moment que leur pays, de naissance ou d\u2019adoption, est gouvern\u00e9 par de sages pacifistes.
Dans ces conditions, il n\u2019y aurait plus de fronti\u00e8res politiques. La fronti\u00e8re ne serait plus qu\u2019une rivi\u00e8re ou une cha\u00eene de montagnes, une limite physique.
Who needs war? Certainly not the inhabitants of a country. What does it matter to them whether they are on this side of the border or the other (in the case of wars of conquest), as long as their country, by birth or adoption, is governed by wise pacifists.
In such conditions, there would no longer be any political borders. The border would be nothing more than a river or a mountain range, a physical limit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qui a besoin de la guerre ?
– les grad\u00e9s, pour gagner de nouveaux grades bataille apr\u00e8s bataille,
– l\u2019industrie de l\u2019armement, pour qui la guerre doit s\u2019\u00e9terniser : plus il y a de morts, plus il faudra de nouvelles munitions. Un tank d\u00e9truit c\u2019est une aubaine pour le fabricant !
– d\u2019autres industriels, les marchands du domaine de la (re)construction. Pour eux aussi, le conflit est source de b\u00e9n\u00e9fices substantiels, et plus il y a de bombardements, plus il y aura de contrats.
– et bien s\u00fbr les chefs d\u2019\u00e9tat qui veulent repousser les fronti\u00e8res de leur pays. Aura-t-on de quoi manger plus si on gagne de la surface ?
Mais un pays n\u2019a pas besoin de risquer sa destruction, ou celle des voisins. Il y a d\u2019autres solutions, Montaigne le savait d\u00e9j\u00e0.
Who needs war?
– the officers, to gain new ranks battle after battle,
– the arms industry, for whom war must drag on: the more deaths there are, the more new ammunition will be needed. A destroyed tank is a godsend for the manufacturer!
– other industrialists, the merchants in the field of (re)construction. For them too, conflict is a source of substantial profits, and the more bombings there are, the more contracts there will be.
– and of course the heads of state who want to push back the borders of their country. Will we have more to eat if we gain surface area?
But a country does not need to risk its destruction, or that of its neighbors. There are other solutions, Montaigne already knew that.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 qu\u2019il \u00e9tait l\u00e9gal de mettre une machine \u00e0 tuer dans les mains d\u2019un \u00eatre humain, de le contraindre \u00e0 l\u2019utiliser, f\u00fbt-ce au prix de sa propre vie s\u2019il refuse<\/strong>.
Je ne reconnais pas cette l\u00e9galit\u00e9-l\u00e0. <\/span><\/strong>

It was decided that it was legal to put a killing machine in the hands of a human being, to force him to use it, even at the cost of his own life if he refuses.<\/em><\/strong>
I do not recognize that legality.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le d\u00e9bat n\u2019est jamais clos, celui sur notre animalit\u00e9, sur l\u2019obligation d\u2019\u00eatre le plus fort pour gagner. Certains \u00e9voquent notre \u00ab cerveau reptilien \u00bb qui justifie tous les exc\u00e8s.
Mais les soldats \u00e0 qui on a inculqu\u00e9 la haine de \u00ab l\u2019ennemi \u00bb s\u2019aper\u00e7oivent le plus souvent qu\u2019il s\u2019agit de braves types, comme eux.
V\u00e9g\u00e9tales ou animales, de nombreuses esp\u00e8ces pratiquent l\u2019entraide, et ce n\u2019est pas forc\u00e9ment altruiste.
The debate is never closed, the one on our animality, on the obligation to be the strongest to win. Some evoke our \u00ab reptilian brain \u00bb which justifies all excesses.
But the soldiers who have been instilled with hatred of the \u00ab enemy \u00bb most often realize that they are good guys, like them.
Plant or animal, many species practice mutual aid, and it is not necessarily altruistic.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

J\u2019ai vu \u00e0 plusieurs reprises des souches de r\u00e9sineux modifi\u00e9es par l\u2019anastomose : quand l\u2019arbre a \u00e9t\u00e9 abattu, ses voisins ont envoy\u00e9 de la s\u00e8ve dans l\u2019id\u00e9e de cicatriser compl\u00e8tement cette blessure. Parfois, la souche est recouverte d\u2019\u00e9corce, parfois seulement d\u2019un bourrelet. Les arbres sont reli\u00e9s entre eux, partagent leurs nutriments, et s\u2019exposent \u00e0 se transmettre des maladies. Cette forme d\u2019entraide n\u2019est pas altruiste, l\u2019arbre coup\u00e9 est mort et bien mort, les arbres vivants se prot\u00e8gent des maladies que provoquent les coupures (nous le savons quand nous d\u00e9sinfectons une plaie).
I have seen several times coniferous stumps modified by anastomosis: when the tree was cut down, its neighbors sent sap in the idea of \u200b\u200bcompletely healing this wound. Sometimes, the stump is covered with bark, sometimes only with a ridge. The trees are connected to each other, share their nutrients, and expose themselves to transmitting diseases. This form of mutual aid is not altruistic, the cut tree is dead and well dead, living trees protect themselves from the diseases caused by cuts (we know this when we disinfect a wound).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Je ne vais m\u00eame pas \u00e9voquer l\u2019entraide chez les animaux, car tout le monde a d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu d\u2019\u00e9tranges alliances, une poule ou une chienne \u00e9levant des chatons\u2026 Celui qui aide ne s\u2019occupe pas de savoir si nous sommes de la m\u00eame esp\u00e8ce.
I won’t even mention animal mutual aid, because everyone has seen strange alliances, a hen or a dog raising kittens… The one who helps doesn’t care whether we are of the same species.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Je lui dis \u00ab continue, ne m\u2019attends pas ! \u00bb C\u2019est si p\u00e9nible de marcher au rythme <\/strong>
de la photographe !
I tell him, \u00ab Go on, don\u2019t wait for me! \u00bb It\u2019s so painful to walk at the photographer\u2019s pace!<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Quand j\u2019avais entre dix et quinze ans je pense, j\u2019avais lu un r\u00e9cit effroyable : aux \u00c9tats Unis, un homme avait ouvert le feu sur la foule jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que lui-m\u00eame soit abattu. \u00c9tait-ce la premi\u00e8re fois que cela se produisait ? Pour moi oui. Plus tard j\u2019ai su que ces sc\u00e8nes de massacre se renouvellent. Sont-elles plus fr\u00e9quentes aujourd\u2019hui ? Je n\u2019ai pas vraiment envie de creuser la question.
Il s\u2019agit d\u2019une tuerie de masse.
When I was between ten and fifteen, I think, I read a terrible story: in the United States, a man opened fire on a crowd until he himself was shot. Was this the first time this had happened? For me, yes. Later I learned that these scenes of massacre are happening again. Are they more frequent today? I don\u2019t really want to delve into the question.
This is a mass shooting.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Le tueur peut se trouver dans diff\u00e9rentes situations : le tueur de masse est un criminel, souvent ex\u00e9cut\u00e9 sur les lieux de ses crimes. Le soldat est un h\u00e9ros. Mais il peut lui arriver aussi de faire partie du peloton d\u2019ex\u00e9cution, il ne tire plus sur le soi-disant \u00ab ennemi \u00bb, mais sur les siens, soi-disant tra\u00eetres. Il participe \u00e0 l\u2019ex\u00e9cution de ses propres camarades, c\u2019est bien pire que de tirer sur des inconnus. De nombreux r\u00e9cits font \u00e9tat des terribles d\u00e9sordres psychologiques g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9s par de telles situations.
The killer can be in different situations: the mass murderer is a criminal, often executed at the scene of his crimes. The soldier is a hero. But he can also be part of the firing squad, he no longer shoots the so-called \u00ab enemy \u00bb, but his own, so-called traitors. He participates in the execution of his own comrades, which is much worse than shooting strangers. Many stories tell of the terrible psychological disorders generated by such situations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vous me direz – le direz-vous\u00a0? – que celui qui ouvre le feu sur la foule, le tueur de masse, c\u2019est pas pareil, il provoque un \u00e9v\u00e9nement assimilable \u00e0 la guerre dans une r\u00e9gion qui n\u2019est pas en guerre, mais cette diff\u00e9rence, est-ce qu\u2019elle compte\u00a0? Les habitants d\u2019un pays en guerre trouvent-ils normal d\u2019entendre jour et nuit le bruit des bombes\u00a0? La guerre, est-ce normal<\/mark>\u00a0?
You will tell me – will you say it? – that the one who opens fire on the crowd, the mass murderer, is not the same, he provokes an event similar to war in a region that is not at war, but does this difference matter? Do the inhabitants of a country at war find it normal to hear the noise of bombs day and night? Is war normal<\/mark>?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

La guerre est un crime permanent contre l\u2019humanit\u00e9. Je ne comprends pas comment le fait de faire mourir les gens du pays d\u2019\u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 peut donner des droits. Le plus gros tueur, le plus efficace\u00a0a gagn\u00e9\u00a0! De part et d\u2019autre de la fronti\u00e8re, tous ceux qui aspiraient \u00e0 une existence tranquille ont tout perdu. M\u00eame ceux du c\u00f4t\u00e9 gagnant.<\/mark>
War is a permanent crime against humanity. I don\u2019t understand how killing people from the neighboring country can give rights. The biggest killer, the most efficient one, has won! On both sides of the border, all those who aspired to a quiet existence have lost everything. Even those on the winning side.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voici dans quelles circonstances j\u2019ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de les partager avec vous.<\/strong>
Le 22 janvier, je reviens, en train, d\u2019une br\u00e8ve visite \u00e0 ma famille. Maintenant, les contr\u00f4les ne sont pas syst\u00e9matiques, un TER peut rouler sans contr\u00f4leur, et quand des contr\u00f4les ont lieu, c\u2019est une \u00e9quipe compl\u00e8te qui s\u2019en charge.<\/strong>
Je vois en effet monter dans le train deux contr\u00f4leurs et cinq responsables de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9\u00a0! Ils passent, repassent, pour finir se regroupent autour d\u2019un voyageur sans billet au moment o\u00f9 je m\u2019approche de la sortie pour ne pas rater ma correspondance. L\u2019auteur du \u00ab\u00a0d\u00e9lit\u00a0\u00bb n\u2019a aucun document d\u2019identit\u00e9, mais il a un t\u00e9l\u00e9phone\u00a0: un contr\u00f4leur s\u2019en sert pour je ne sais quelle v\u00e9rification, utilisant aussi son propre appareil. Toute l\u2019escouade fait un demi-cercle autour du voyageur. Parmi eux, une femme au regard dur qui lui dit \u00ab\u00a0sortez les mains des poches.\u00a0\u00bb L\u2019homme ob\u00e9it sans r\u00e9pondre.<\/strong>
Enfin le contr\u00f4leur imprime je ne sais quel papier qu\u2019il remet au voyageur en lui pr\u00e9cisant les modalit\u00e9s de payement. Comme je ne suis pas loin j\u2019en entends un autre d\u00e9clarer qu\u2019un peu plus loin, il y a deux jeunes sans billet, ils sont \u00ab\u00a0chauds\u00a0\u00bb: le staff part affronter ces nouveaux \u00ab\u00a0d\u00e9linquants\u00a0\u00bb.
Here are the circumstances in which I decided to share them with you.<\/em><\/strong>
On January 22, I returned by train from a brief visit to my family. Now, checks are not systematic, a TER (Regional Express Train – Train Express R\u00e9gional) can run without a controller, and when checks take place, it is a full team that takes care of them.<\/em><\/strong>
Indeed I see two controllers and five security officers getting on the train! They pass, repass, to end up gathering around a traveler without a ticket as I approach the exit so as not to miss my connection.<\/em><\/strong>
The author of the \u00ab\u00a0crime\u00a0\u00bb has no identity document, but he has a telephone: a controller uses it for some kind of check, also using his own device. The whole squad forms a semicircle around the traveler. Among them, a woman with a hard look who tells him \u00ab\u00a0take your hands out of your pockets.\u00a0\u00bb The man obeys without answering.<\/em><\/strong>
Finally the controller prints out some paper or other that he gives to the traveler, specifying the payment terms. As I am not far away, I hear another one declare that a little further on, there are two young people without tickets, they are \u00ab\u00a0hot\u00a0\u00bb: the staff goes to confront these new \u00ab\u00a0delinquents\u00a0\u00bb.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personne n\u2019a boug\u00e9, personne n\u2019a rien dit. J\u2019aurais bien demand\u00e9 au gars quelque chose comme \u00ab\u00a0\u00e7a va aller\u00a0?\u00a0\u00bb mais souhaitait-il qu\u2019on lui parle\u00a0?
Je suis effar\u00e9e par l\u2019attitude des agents de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ou les contr\u00f4leurs\u00a0: j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 ridicule l\u2019appr\u00e9hension qu\u2019ils \u00e9prouvaient peut-\u00eatre. Leur a-t-on dit, en formation, que l\u2019individu le plus tranquille et le plus lisse peut se d\u00e9cha\u00eener et devenir criminel sans pr\u00e9venir\u00a0?
Pire, chacun d\u2019entre eux n\u2019a-t-il pas \u00e9t\u00e9 victime d\u2019agression, ou bien son coll\u00e8gue\u00a0? Leur m\u00e9fiance que je trouve excessive serait-elle justifi\u00e9e\u00a0?
No one moved, no one said anything. I would have asked the guy something like \u00ab\u00a0are you okay?\u00a0\u00bb but did he want to be talked to?
I am appalled by the attitude of the security officers or the controllers: I found the apprehension they may have felt ridiculous. Were they told in training that the quietest and smoothest individual can go wild and become a criminal without warning?
Worse, hasn\u2019t each of them been the victim of an assault, or has their colleague? Is justified their distrust, which I find excessive\u00a0?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour moi les comportements agressifs sont un des sympt\u00f4mes de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 malade. Bien s\u00fbr, je simplifie un peu trop, r\u00eavant d\u2019un monde fraternel o\u00f9 l\u2019inconnu que tu croises est la promesse de d\u00e9couvrir une belle personne.
