"Historically, war has been justified in a thousand ways. Dying in battle is considered a destiny of greatness, defeating the enemy, a success. But not everyone think the same
War is also considered an understatement for 'wholesale murder'. The history of the world thus becomes world hysteria.
Charlot is in favor of making humor and not war. Athena, goddess of wisdom and military strategy, has been bewitched and sleeps lethargically by a reborn medieval obscurantism that takes us back in time. In the Plastic Age, the fifth horseman of the apocalypse roams freely. Don Quixote already spoke of 'the reason for unreason that my reason weakens'. In one of his engravings, Goya stated that the dream of reason produces monsters."
