so the public opinion is fine with it

out of sight, out of mind

Not their tribe, not their business

yea

wars didnt just end

rich ppl just realized they can have em far away from where they live

it's less of an inconvenience that way

Ah, well. Come to think of it, it's still all the same business, just outsourced.

Westerners live under the impression that the world is gr8, but that's largely because the entire economic framework of it was set up using western power and to benefit its interests. Wage slave niggers in Thailand are not exactly necessarily happy with this. Not to mention the Arab world that has been fucked over consistently since the early 1800s. And when someone who isn;t a westerner find success within the system, every red light in the pentagon goes off, and the entire might of the US is shifted to potentially blockade them in a 3rd World War scenario...

Because they are starting to shift from poor to competitive

well, starting is the wrong word,

but u know what I mean

Eh

Trade is beneficial for everyone, including those who end up with less at the end

It's been studied enough

that is Liberal nonsense

No it's not

yes it is

let me explain

imagine u are for whatever reason in a gr8 geographical spot for trade

you have nuff of a population base and geography

and resources on top of that

to be able to field a navy that can dominate the seas

and you have lots of starting capital

because of history shenanigans

you will be very sucessful

Is that your entire argument?

This is not an explanation for anything

your success will breed more success, as ur cities grow so does their attractiveness and the opportunity ppl can find in them

so you get all the entrepreneurial and smart ppl

you then become MORE rich

and then

you are rich enough that if someone else starts to become rich as well

you have enough power to fuck them in the ass with their own mother's pocket knife

and why wouldn't you?

I mean

if u don do it, they might do it to u

to gain the same structural advantages you once held

Trade starts with demand, if demand doesn't exist, trade doesn't happen
You trade only if you need a specific resource, and you only offer the resources that you need less off, otherwise you have no incentive to trade

why would they do it?

because the only way to be SURE someone isn't gonna fuck you over
