Hard to say.

The reality is that the states that control the supply are in between a rock and hard place, and I truly feel bad, don't envy them one bit . Saudi, Iran and even Israel to a degree are simultaneously fighting to maintain their state power beyond being an old glorified oil/gas refinery plant, towards becoming a productive collective, staying relevant in the 21st century and also playing their cards well by selectively withholding oil for purposes beyond tanks and rockets is tough and puts pressure on them to innovate in ways that not only threatens the status quo but also the usual backwater terrorist types who they've been battling the last decade or so

I don't think dictatorships are meant to be long term anyway, but I would be careful who I would hand over any power to.

A general must always have brothers/sisters to carry upon his shoulders

At least we can trust he will give himself a deadline to step down

Okay this is where we agree. I would not be against something if it were a matter of holding back basic human curiosity.

Absolute class craft consumables only hahaha

If a thief makes a copy of your very money that you use then your work is worth them copying your money

Kind of debatable depending on the floor price but not bad an idea either way, it's all about margins and looking to let yourself understand how much your product is really worth to the customer vs simple market cost

I disagree with the last part. Society and it's many systems is pretty hard to collapse even if you managed to drug a huge portion of the population, gave them guns and fed them propaganda. Now imagine throwing heaps of people into jail like in Czech, still standing just more useless. Just look at portions of the middle east. The majority of people just get good at being lazy and defer accountability to the most violent assholes who then become dictators, the rest of society then selectively breeds the "dictators".

If this sounds dystopic consider that what you said lead to what this comment is, which is dumb. Now which is dumber?

Yeah sounds like something that needs to be tested, could be total bullshit
