Not really, for the same reasons Russia's economy is now in the shitter: sure they could sell oil to another country, but changing the whole infrastructure is not something that can be done in days. Same with moving the whole production of goods to a completely new country.

Also consider that nowadays western countries have lost the knowhow to produce efficiently goods (while their service industry still remains unmatched)

Doesn't matter, they ll die by measels before anyway

Really dodged a bullet with ml

What I meant is:

Propaganda is writing 0.99 with the intention of tricking people into buying. Note here to purpose of writing 99 is used.

Casualties was born from the necessity of generals to know how many troops are available. There is no psychological trick in there. Just because civilians misinterpret it does not mean there is a propagandistic goal hidden somewhere.

See the difference?

Lost means "not able to fight". If they lose a leg, they might be alive, but not very useful in the battlefield. Therefore the soldier, not the human, is lost.

Most of it it's because in military setting, those two are equivalent, sine the only thing they care is about how many abled bodies they have available for the meat grinder.

Including wounded is the official definition of lost, always been. No need to call propaganda, it simply how is defined.

Change European to Anglo-Saxon. not too long ago they were lynching Italians

To me the problem is content vs entertainment.

Joe Rogan has no content. He is not an expert, but somehow he is able to make the podcast, populated by morons, enjoyable by it's audience. So if a person has to choose between Rogan, with a pseudoscientist in it, or a PhD, which is extremely prepared but does not know how to present his knowledge (either overcomplicated for the general masses, or plain boring), 90% of the people will watch Rogan.

Going to your LoL: the most successful streamers where not the best players, but the pros who manage to keep the chat entertained.

Another example are university professors: the most knowledgeable are usually not the best teachers, because knowing a subject and presenting it are two completely different skill sets.

That's the sad reality of today online content

Chrome is a monopoly by itself already. And forcing Google to sell, only to have Microsoft buying it is actually worse then the current situation.

The Democrats are not incompetent: 90% of their funding come from billionaires. The same breed that funds Republicans, with a slight different flavor on social issues. They do not want anything to do with the "radical" left of AOC, Bernie and similar
