@Gilgameshholy shit the world is 1984!!!

and when we don't agree on foreign policy there is a sudden attack that makes us all suddenly agree

pearl harbor, 9/11

that is the social credit score @Archon

it'll happen anyway

you forgot every iraq

and vietnam

and WW1

and WW2

this is what the war industrial complex means

we have faked problems to go to war

constantly

I will agree with that

but that is because our economy relies on war

so we're bitching about taxes and debt

meanwhile it doesn't really fucking matter

we went to war and took over 4 countries to save like 5 cents on banannas for dole

the cold war is why we rely on war

the cold war lol

I would say WW2 is why we rely on war

the bananna wars were real

no

we spent soo many years building up our MIC that it is "too big to fail"

@Misomania ya China, Europe and USA in line for it ugh USA via tech companies of course

it isn't a war that we rely on fucking war

it's the point of why we launched it

god damn

Russia has the same issue too

albiet in a much smaller extent

I mean our economy wasn't doing too well in the 30s

but after WW2 it was great

capitalism and business relies on competition

which is why I trace it back to that point

you have all sorts of countries using business and economies to survive

ergo they need each other

they may as well work together behind the scenes to establish a stable economic base

russia collapsed because of the bloat of it's military and is poised to do so again. They had people spying on people spying on people spying on people... and like 10 military personel for every civilian @acarson

beyond that, they may as well work together toward an agenda they agree on for being best for humanity

as in "a threatening alien invasion"

lol

reagan tried that
