War (read conflict) is a product of human nature. Conflict happens when two or more parties are unable to fulfill the double coincidence of wants and one party can project power onto another to get what they desire. There is no justice in nature. To end perpetual war, you must maximize the ability to fulfill the double coincidence of wants. Sound money is the solution. With sound money, war is unaffordable. It will always be naturaly more profitable for both parties to cooperate than to conflict. Make war unaffordable. Opt out. #bitcoin

not strictly human nature - PROFIT n JOBs for "weapons factory fiat workers" n their sharehodlers

That's a particularly salient factor in the US, maybe South Korea and probably other big weapons manufacturing states.

most industrialized countries in fact

War is the continuation of politics by other means. Some general with an impossibly hard to spell name said that hundreds of years ago. It seems to agree in part with what you said.

I'm on nostr taking a break from my uni readings on how expensive war is and the various ways states fund it. Pressuring their tax cattle is only one way. I don't doubt that if a state had bitcoin it could use it to fund wars. It would probably sell it to the plebs in the country it wants to invade so their tax cattle fund the war on themselves. 🤔

If you haven't read the Creature of Jekyll Island you definitely need to!

It was this general. There is even an audio spelling of his name in the article

So it was. I knew his name I can never spell it though.
