Thank you. I’m sorry, I should have been more specific: Who is being mocked here? Is the author of this article esposuing an idealist perspective? I didn’t think so when I read it, but I might be missing something
no it’s my fault for riffing while drunk. it was a reaction purely to the phrase “Mineral Warfare”, which made me laugh and I started imagining a liberal trying to find a metals rulebook and asking to speak to the manager of tungsten
just strikes me as “this can’t mean that material conditions drive history, it must be because the tungsten spirit is angry with us”
