Yeah yeah they stole the native americans land blah blah, but an organised hit on anybody would be solved with one tool lol
I think you missed the joke
it wasnt about land, its about the fact that the lack of well organized force lead to a dominance of people in local communities that didnt necessarily represent the best intentions for the community
Ah, I get your point
and even then, large forms of militia men would come in every now and then and scare the 'wolves' but act as predators themselves
Yeah, they not only have disarmed us, they've made it so hard to keep living by paying less and inflating everything so we just have to work harder to stay fed, so we can't read, work on ourselves, think about things, you wake, you work, you sleep
im not entirely against this, just that i think people romanticize a lack of authority more so often due to skewed perspective on how things were versus how they are.
I still don't see how currency of any kind has a place in modern communities, I'm not saying go back and barter chickens and all that, nah, but precious metals, food, drugs, tobacco, tea.... list goes on... I think humans should be fed equally and not worked till their body and mind doesn't work anymore by the time they're 50
Yeah skewed perspectives like I'd just rob and steal if there was no authority figure...
The ones that would die first as a result of no authority figure.. lol
fiat currencies represent the collective wealth of a given society supported by a government that demands that wealth to be taxed in the form of their given currency
That's another thing I hate the topic of.. tax..
nah, isolated and prehistory hunter gathers are the perfect examples of how humans act without centralized authority. Steppe societies and so on are similar. The wild west was a pale imitation of that between urban sectors. People dont have a dignity culture under those circumstances, they practice honor cultures and kin selection to the detriment of others.
Like I'm sorry, we're well past WW2, and the military don't need as much money as they get.. to do what.. build weapons of destruction... plot new wars... kill.. not educate children, supply the medical fields with the right knowledge, equipment...
hmm depends on what you mean by military spending
our airforce and missile development definitely needs the funds
"Missing" equipment, new jets, tanks, bombs, other weapons.. They honestly do no need the funds
our infantry has over inflated costs
how long are they planning on keeping humans fighting humans?
bro, why are you against people fighting if you support a lack of centralized authority?
anarchy is the best situation to fight in because it has the most potential benefit in relation to cost
its only when hegemonic powers rise up when that changes
I'm sorry, ISIS isn't going to roll up in a F-35 and bomb shit out your cities with H bombs
I support fighting to a degree... a gentlemans fight, not a massacre
homo sapiens are not peaceful animals, we rose from Africa genociding our cousins on the homo genus evolutionary tree to exert global dominance and then we fought amongst ourselves in similar fashion
thats why i specified near peers
Hand to hand, not 1000m away with a sniper....
china and russia have developed 5th generation fighters as well as hypersonic missile capabilities that when sold or used, represent direct threats to numerous peoples and trade routes
the US is ahead in fighters but behind in missiles
The UK has one of the most sophisticated militaries in the world... not exactly the most sophisticated of soldiers mind you.... but who's going to attack us
threats on allies already occurred such as on south korea and taiwan
And they've got a secret nuclear stash aint they
not all nuclear weapons are equal, hypersonic weapons change the ball game and the US is currently behind on their development
MIRV ICBMs are no longer capable of providing regional hegemony alone
I can understand why the US has enemies... but the UK literally has the occasional suicide bomber and half the time the bombs are stupidly weak or badly built, and of course the odd guy with a knife... that's all the threats we deal with here
The UK is a country that relies on financial trade networks for its economy and those are easily destabilized by previously brought up near peer nations
Yeah and we've fucked most of that because we've left the EU hahaha
and its actually nations like the UK and France thats harmed the most by hypersonic weapon development in terms of MAD
