They absolutely tried to use psychedelics to do crazy mind control experiments, and the things they did are unspeakably disgusting. Although, I legit think some of them were used as an excuse to drug and rape kids, and the fucking Feds were ALL about that shit. Hence the unspeakable part.
The funny thing is, psychedelics were actually terrible for that because instead of sequestering the mind, and making people into programmable zombies, they actually did the opposite. They enhanced creativity and independence. They actually cause you to feel more empathy, not less. They make you a non-conformist, not fall in line.
Idk about all psychedelics, but I can absolutely tell you, psilocybin mushrooms will show you a level of empathy, and connection to the world you never thought possible. No way I'm hell they could ever be used to control people.
On the flip side, there's a reason why there's a pretty widespread problem with the over prescription of SSRIs and other similar meds in the US. Those things have been shown to basically turn you into a zombie of a person. I almost killed myself because of those fucking things. Mgic mushrooms, however; literally saved my life and actually opened my mind up to so many new ways of thinking and a kind of, "radical empathy" that started me down the path to being a communist when I was just a stupid shitlib. Really changed my outlook and understanding of the world.
Ok yeah, but like, that's as 15 years of amazing profits for the investors of the contract manufacturers that "made" the F-35/22s.Who made any profit off of China's measley 6 year production time? Checkmate tankies.
So they have just won then. There's no beating this. All he needs now is like, some piss pants so he doesn't even have to stop walking. Just strolling around. Beer in one end, piss out the other. Being one with the universe in his cold beer coat and warm piss pants. In perfect thermal equilibrium. The embodiment of the Tao. His aura giving every chud westerner with 1000 feet a mental breakdown.
People argue for monopolies because it replicates a style of market that would actually be good under communism. Basically, one main provider that has all the things you need, but doesn't price gouge and only exists to provide those things to the people. None of that "shopping around" bullshit. You need a thing, you go get it.
When the U.S. starts a war in Venezuela, who knows how China will react. Obviously they won't get involved militarily, but economically? If sanctions and other trade based retaliation is an option, UK doesn't want to be implicated as an accessory and potentially face repercussions.
Cresting whole ecosystems that form as a blend of technology and nature is it being a net positive for both is pretty amazing. I don't really think that's happened in such a large scale before.
I think it's gonna be more of a 1930s-40s Germany direction. They will see things from China and just call it propaganda or scream it's only because they use slave labor and/or have no rights or something.
Oil fueled ships ARE worse and less safe. The amount of fail-safes on nuclear powered generation now is crazy. An oil fueled ship is just a big tank waiting to be ruptured.
Not to mention, there are tons of nuclear powered ships and submarines. They make is sound like this isn't a thing that's been out there for decades. They have. The only difference is they haven't been thorium reactors.
Be me, a country. We need power, the electricity kind. We weight out options. If
We buy renewables from China and we build our own infrastructure that doesn't need fuel. Solar panels last a long time, wind farms, etc. We set them up and then just have to maintain. China even shows us how. It's cheap, they don't have ulterior motives. Supply is stable. Overall cheaper. Not running out of wind or sun anytime soon.
We buy fossil fuels from US. We make plants but all fuel has to come from a constant supply from outside our nation. We are reliant completely on them. If supply line is disrupted we might be fucked. If we piss them off the might be fucked. The world over knows relying on US comes with a heavy price. FF are a finite resource. Causes endless wars all over the planet. Pollutes the fuck out of out local ecosystem. Is the energy source of yesterday. Investing in it only makes it harder to advance.
