@wkfry War isn't restricted to responding to direct hostilities, or a boost out of a lagging economy.
It's a direct profit mechanism - especially out of 'pure' #Capitalism nations - that have crony politicians writing policy for #TechBros and #FossilFuels #oligarchs that have been deeply vested in armament production, for generations.
This is one of the many reasons why Fossil Fuels is so difficult to graduate. It's the wealthiest, deepest entrenched industry in human history, and the billionaires have the luxury bunkers to prove it - just in case YOU get too many armaments to address them directly.
Replace #TechBros and #FossilFuels leaders with ethical #RootInfrastructure #scientists.
