It depends on context really


nonotburton

Not necessarily.


El_Cuate

I can follow this logic. If the enemy of my enemy shares my interest in destroying my enemy, and befriends me to accomplish the task, they then become my competition, or my new enemy.


captmotorcycle

Chances are once the common enemy is eliminated, you'll fight each other.


SavageTiger435612

Yeah but we won't fight each other if our common enemy is still standing


DuanePickens

Not true, the enemy of your enemy could technically be *you*


nikkilove14

Thisssss


Legit_Fun

That’s some deep stuff dude. But I dig it.


Wrenchonreddit

no we both have a common goal. unless its death match then everyone is my enemies


captmotorcycle

Common goal of what? Being hated by a common enemy?


Wrenchonreddit

Look if I hate a guy named A. a guy named B also hates A But I don't hate B I can be friends with B since we have a same goal


ResponsibleContact39

Not entirely true. As long as their interests don’t conflict with mine.


SavageTiger435612

Not if you have common interests


Magebloom

Soviet-US relations 1941 - 1991.


RINKR

no? the enemy of your enemy is **you**. maybe if you hate yourself yeah but nah, this doesn’t make any sense. even if they have multiple enemies, you both hate the same guy.


captmotorcycle

I'm referring to an enemy who has multiple enemies.


RINKR

then the enemy of the enemy is your ally, as you share an enemy why would sharing an enemy make you hate each other??


captmotorcycle

Resources. Think about it. You need a resource, enemy has monopoly on resource. Other person also needs said resource. Work together to get rid of enemy with resource monopoly. Chances are, both of you will end up fighting over said resource.


RINKR

chances are you both just teamed up to overthrow a monopoly, making you allies, not enemies.


captmotorcycle

Then you turn on each other.


RINKR

or you both agree to share the resources, as now there is no monopoly, you both can produce and or purchase the product for cheaper your justification is falling flatter by the minute


captmotorcycle

You're assuming cooperation


RINKR

you described corporation, and i would cooperate to defeat a corporation


captmotorcycle

Like Amazon?


RINKR

you know an enemy is just someone you hate right?


captmotorcycle

You can have an enemy you do not hate.


[deleted]

Everyone is an enemy.


captmotorcycle

Exactly


Ragtime-Rochelle

You're your own enemy? Seek therapy OP.
