Two mafia groups doing business, funding all this war and suffering through their fiat.
That’s not how a mafia works but sure if that makes you feel better. It’s interesting to ignore the well paying manufacturing jobs that are created by this. Then you throw in the engineers and the innovation and sure you can ignore the clear and easy facts to get to your narrow view

Coercion, taxation, use of force, shady deals, violence… it all sounds a lot like how a mafia operates to me.
The difference is that the state mafia swallows up the smaller ones.
My view isn’t narrow, it’s objective. I don’t want — and I never authorized — any system to steal the fruits of my labor to fund wars that keep the theft machine running. That’s why I’m on the path to getting out of this madness.

When did the topic become defense companies if from the beginning the post and my response were about governments at war?
While we’re at it, defense companies that fight these wars are nothing more than henchmen.
A phrase I really like to say whenever I see a laughing emoji: “Mocking laughter is a bitch’s argument.”

States are mafias — I can’t put it any clearer than that. It didn’t take much, all you had to do was read the thread and follow the conversation.
