Point is: As prices remain high more people will switch, reducing consumption in the long run.

I think he has a verry good point there. Imho many people, unlike their parents/ gradparents, have forgotten how brutal and unraveling war is and how much suffering it brings upon others which lose dear family members and/or their health.

This might be largely due to mass media showing only piles of rubble and not the human misery underneath and infront of it because it's deemed ,,to upsetting" for the broad public. But that misery is on of the core points why we once intended to end all wars. There are exceptions of course (like some well made documentaries) but one has to actually search for them and expose oneself willingly... when in reality the matter should concern each and every one of us.

Banning things for teenagers has always worked really well... /s

We have a spotter-sniper system in place where my mate on the ground tells me where to climb/what to cut next... I still get the point though xD

I know that for land mines this is true.

However it'd be interesting to know if its also possible for naval mines... which are a few magnitudes bigger and also usually rely on an anker (ofter heavy) to stay in position.

Given the high weight I'm sceptical if a naval minefield can be achieved by missle transport.

You think they did waste a thought let alone calculate the outcome of their actions?

So... the US and Israel attack a islamic country in an illegal war of agression. And there are enough americans that blame muslims for it? ,,Stop hitting yourself" bully moves intensify.

Having the same thought.

If capitalism eats its own children it might force the world to use FOSS and non-proprietary company structures.

True

To be honest I think this is a cyclic process only being interrupted when inequality and welfare become shitty enough to push a majority of individuals out of their comfort zone... that's when revolutions happen. Ealier I don't expect anything to change as the biggest players are allowed to continously shape the system in their favor.

Isn't this the exact same thing happening durin all other finance crashes in the last decades? I don't think the modus operandi is much different.

Crisis?

Illegal war of aggression against all international law.

FIFY.

Maybe some fellow Slovenian can explain.

As someone without any knwoledge about the countries inner politics: The US officially announced it's going to boost right-wing movements across Europe to influence the continent in its favor. Investing loads of money into election campaigning can influence public opinion.
