no not really

So I could go to telstra and say optus offers this, you have to match it. Telstra doesn't want to so they let optus use their infrastructure

all you need to do in order to get big is outcompete your compatition, which becomes easier the sooner you have a product that takes longer for anyone else to be able to provide and the larger you get the harder it becomes to compete with you

those 2 factors are almost never effected by government

in the past governemnt has only ever worked against those 2 factors by either regulating resources or breaking monopolys

name on thing needed to live that matches that criteria

Women

women are property?

woke

Yes!!! *jk

i mean, if we are talking about Dubai

but religion is government over there. as if organized religion and government are really different things to start with

They will be property in Europe and Canada soon

Already property in the middle east

Europe and Canada are about to become the middle east so i'd say so

America is gonna become central america before we become the middle east, however

It's hard enough maintaining my vehicles, stuff owning wamans, that's like twice as hard

a long time ago people killed eachother for resources, the best people at that were able to get other people to kill for them, those people used that influince to lay claim over all the resources of a great geographic area with a heirarchy of killers of anyone who would oppose them and by respecting those who are closest to them on that heirarchy. over time people who were best at managing resources began to subplant those best at killing once sovereignty over large resource geographys were concentrated at the top. NOT so long ago we stopped letting those people who controled all those resources be the head of our governments

And russia will win in the long run

Long live Putin!

tell me, how could we choose to stop letting them be in that position if they have all the power?

through Jihad ofc

it was a deal between the middle of the heirarchy and the bottom of the heirarchy called democracy which lead those at the middle to rising to the top and the bottom rising to the middle with the deal being that those who rose would have less direct power and influince than those before giving more over to those below and this lead to some degree of seporation between bussiness and governence

though this would also absolve bussiness a lot of responcabilitys

and creates a middle man between people and bussinesses called governemnt

the government isn't a middle man.

well consitering private armys are illegal it kinda is

except they are not

who just call them "security" firms or "private contractors"

or if you like, mercenaries

perhaps is just not cost effective anymore

PMCs=Private Military Contractors

the idea being that the people who own land and resources cant just fight eachother directly anymore, they use the government, even outside their own nation

why would they fight each other when all the power they need is in one nice place called the government?

one win there means a win across so much more territory that a small no nothing town

why buy a PMC when the government extorts money out of its citizens to pay for the police?

if all the power they need was in governemnt they would try to be the governemnt rather than rely on it

which is the case

they are trying to be the government, did you not notice the that a lot of tech companies like google backed NN?

but in our democracy we try to fight against that as a society

because it meant their competition, ISP companies, wouldn't be able to fight them by blocking their traffic
