essentially a highly explosive "broken window fallacy"

correct. they've mostly shifted to a militarized economy and all available labor is now gobbled up.

salaries are pretty good, relatively speaking, if you're in engineering or other STEM fields.

excess labor is being drained off to die horribly to drones in eastern Ukraine.

it's kind of like a fat guy starving to death -- for a minute all that weight loss will bring improvements to blood pressure, insulin, etc., but in a couple weeks he's not gonna feel so great


Russia is now China's Canada

they are not happy, they are distracted and vaguely know it's not going well.

the "russian firehose" approach and vryanyo (institutional lying) means they're bombarded with info but also know most of it is BS, but not necessarily how or why.

they know it's not going well but at this point much of the economy is on war-footing and if they're not drafted they're probably getting paid okay. STFU and keep your head down and you won't get drafted.

presumably this is a flag or box you can check in your military paperwork

people too nice, country too majestic

qanon was almost certainly foreign agit-prop. it may have started with a real human but if you think they're running false-flags out of 4chan you're literally insane.

the US Gov doesn't need to go to 4chan, they can get headlines in the Washington Post and NBC.

why would Q-anon continue to advocate for Jan 7th and overthrowing the gubmnt even after Biden won?
