/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • There's some difference between the violence of "pay our debts or we'll kill you" and "we've destabilized your home region; you need to buy our weapons or they'll kill you" and "the only way you can afford to feed yourselves is if you buy our subsidized food crops."

    It's all violent, but it's not always violence inflicted by jets and aircraft carriers like in the picture.

  • How to vote?

    Jump

  • That's still consistent, normal people don't want posts they disagree with to be seen by other people. Only debate perverts would upvote something they disagree with, because they want people to see "good discussion" or whatever.

    EDIT To clarify, as a proud debate pervert I tend to upvote people I'm arguing with just so our argument gets more visibility.

  • I think someone died that way.

  • How to vote?

    Jump

  • I see voting as decentralized moderation, not as an expression of agreement or like or something.

    Upvote means "I want people to see this" and downvote means "I don't want people to see this."

  • It's multifaceted. It's backed by violence, by oil trade, and US consumption. It's also backed by trapping countries in debt denominated in US dollars. It's also backed by US arms and "security" sales in dollars. It's also backed by the worlds largest banks being based in the US and issuing credit in dollars. It's also backed by gas, media, and even subsidized ag products like corn. Plus, inertia.

    It's also falling apart because they overused sanctions and created demand for an alternative. They killed the golden goose.

  • Okay.

  • This can be read as both hype and critique, which I think is neat.

  • And they're also small and insignificant while AI is the big, bold thing in the center. It's what people are going to see.

    If you ask the average person who looks at this cover "who is the person of the year" they're going to say "AI". It's intentional.

  • Not just complicity, active collaboration and co-conspiracy.

  • The lie of "self-financing" oil wars

    Jump

  • It's not exactly a lie.

    The value of the US dollar, in part, comes from selling oil in USD. Every oil source that exists outside of the dollar market hurts the value of the dollar, and sanctions on Venezuela have been encouraging oil investment and sales in yuan instead of dollars. That's partially where the inflation came from, demand for dollars by oil traders has fallen, which means stopping this leak.

    Although electrification continues, which also weakens demand for oil traded in dollars, and obviously there's Russia and the other sanctioned countries who don't trade in dollars. The age of oil wars paying for themselves is probably ending.
