    Well, the first time they spent years watching the Nazis play out and profiting from the war by selling munitions and equipment to both sides before actually joining it. I’m not sure Japan is in the same place to get them moving into fight mode … maybe North Korea, Russia or China though? The same kinda sanctions are in place.

    You could say that about a lot of things. Boxing enacts an extreme toll on a boxers body, in training, in match prep and in the fight itself, yet many of them continue to come back to the ring.

    Sometimes the thing that is a struggle and exacts a toll has a reward that makes it worth it. It doesnt mean the struggle to get the thing wasn’t difficult or debilitating.


  • It’s easy to say but the solution takes a lot more critical thinking for people to vote ethically or even just in their own interests rather than for the team they’ve been trained to vote for.

    Most people either don’t have the available time to research, the interest to put the effort in or the capacity to understand the consequences of their choice.

    Simplification to “trusted source K recommended by trusted source L says I should vote for team B” is the default solution. “Surely everyone in recommended team B is a fine upstanding person who will fight tooth and nail for my best interests?”

    Most people need to be engaged and critical or the system defaults to whoever controls the trusted sources.
