Well, the thing is, death and destruction isn’t more profitable. But that’s not the point. The point is to keep global hegemony by keeping the military-industrial-complex rich as fuck while at the same time getting bribes as “incentive”

For humanity as a whole, it’s all a net loss. Not only does the rocket cost resources, but so does the building that it blows up

It’s not about bloodlust, it’s about not being sitting ducks

It’s your country that’s falling apart, it’s going to affect primarily you (at first, and then the rest of the world)

Well, that doesn’t matter for blåhaj, which disables downvotes, at least

The bigger issue is nukes I think. You cannot overthrow a regime militarily these days, countries have simply a tool that is far too destructive to realistically risk it

As a rule of thumb, there typically are very few people clamoring for volunteer leader positions. It’s a constant problem you see even in irl non-profit organizations, unless they’re fairly big/famous

It just turns out that, it’s actually just a lot of responsibility and work. Most people realize this, and don’t have the capacity to do the work, so often there even are no candidates for the leader positions… until someone reluctantly steps up because otherwise the organization would die

At least, that’s my experience in the real life organizations and clubs I’ve volunteered in

That’s fair yeah. I’d say it’d depend upon the definition of modern history, but unless it’s fairly narrow and recent, then yeah. Certainly not within the accepted definition of modern history

Speaking as someone in Europe

The US has a major effect on the rest of the world. Elon is a big concern even if you don’t live in the US

…and you don’t wanna see what’s gonna happen aa the US progresses more into fascism and sets their sights for outside their borders. Hell, they’ve already done that with Canada and Greenland, even

I will never be able to look at chickens the same
