I agree to an extent. The world is where it is, and if you let down your defenses someone WILL take advantage. Those are the current rules, and even in a more peaceful world there will always be someone waiting to prey on weakness. BUT, we as people have zero say in WHEN to fight. They use our money and productivity to fund wars that benefit only a tiny number of powerful peoples, and now they need our sons and daughters to man the guns and get blown to pieces too. Fuck that! If you want me or my family to fight, if you want my money (productivity and time) I want to know and agree on what exactly we're fighting for.

here is an example for you to think. I'm ukranian, I lived in Kharkiv. russia invaded my country. part of kharkiv which is close to russian border were destroyed heavily, (northen saltivka - in case if you want to search and check). at the time I lived like 15 minutes walk from that area. for two weeks I lived in basement. russia says there no ukranians, there are no ukraine, (watch putin carlson interview). so - can you say that it is just ukrainian government who sending people to fight just to make money? in fact, i don't need my government to have incentives to fight russia. because I see in my own eyes how they destroying my city and country. in fact, I have no choice but to fight. because if russia occupies all ukraine I'm personally wil be dead for my beliefs. So either fight or flight. so, to add more craziness to all this - I hear here phrases like "funding foreign war". but in fact, just maybe, those patriot systems from US probably saved my life when russia trying to hit our cities with rockets. my conclusion btw about this sort of talks is like - never ever say "abstract good phrases". instead, learn something real and try to understand all sides. in this case you will be more balanced and real. because some time bitcoiners feels like cult to me with all this "bitcoin fixes everything"
