Since when is a lack of war disturbing?

In any case the best answer I come up with to your question is no. I don't think that democracies must inevitably become corrupt. Nor do I think that about any other government type necessary.

However, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Not just vigilance against external foes but also internal foes of liberty. Once liberty is gone corruption follows inevitably.

The price of freedom must be paid every day. The people who stop paying that price will lose everything. Basically freedom cannot be bought it can only be rented.

The lack of physical war is disturbing. At least with physical war, you know your enemy. You know that A is a good guy and B is the bad guy (enemy), but with corruption, the other country may be at war with you....you just don't know it. They'll fight war through economics, bribery, population control (less whites more shitskins).

To me that is much worse, I'd rather face an opponent straight up than have him break me away piece by piece each day without me even knowing.

I don't agree with you at all. That kind of low grade war you are talking about really only hurts the rich people and businessmen of a country. But a shooting war means the poor get called up to be bullet stoppers for an empire that has never done them a day of good in their lives.

If they ever try to force me to fight an imperial war I will turn on the rich so goddamned fast.
