this is an actual headline from THE ECONOMIST for an article published on October of 2023 and i have no words.

❝ WHAT A THIRD WORLD WAR WOULD MEAN FOR INVESTORS
gobal conflicts have a habit of sneaking up on money-managers ❞

@blogdiva it makes a lot of sense when you think about how many big businesses and multinationals openly talk about death and destruction resulting from their operations as just another cost of doing business. It's factored into their financials, even the extinction of humanity somehow, by some miracle they'll figure out a way to keep going after everyone and everything is dead, maybe they'll monetize ghosts or colonize hell.
@neotoy @blogdiva highly recommend reading "imperialism" by lenin for a better understanding of how and why this sort of thing is a necessary component of capitalism.
