Someone just asked the opposite of this question here and I was wondering if there are cases were you’re just not interested in something but you know the community is great nonetheless.

    “Strength” when used in political contexts, is almost always related to some form of oppression at the very least.

    I am struggling to think of a time when hearing a politician speak about “strength” could be seen as a good thing. Perhaps briefly, directly after 9/11, but before we decided to invade the wrong countries? Even then, it was more about unity than any kind of strength.

      Strength, as in the power to exert your will on others, is a dangerous concept. This is the sense in which fascists use it.

      Strength, as in the power to stand up for yourself, is good. We should all have the strength to fight against tyranny.
