So Trump's plan is to abduct or kill heads of state and assume their governments will collapse? Is it literally that stupid?

This is what capitalism does. A sane political system equips its military with functioning ships, equipment, and materiel. Under capitalism, contractors feast while selling broken garbage.

Some quotes: “With numbers like these, it’s easy to see why birth rates are falling. Many Americans are saying that having kids doesn’t make financial sense”

“If the crisis threshold—the floor below which families cannot function—is honestly updated to current spending patterns, it lands at $140,000. What does that tell you about the $31,200 line we still use? It tells you we are measuring starvation.”

Another example on the endless list of substances that capitalists knew was killing their employees and customers, but continued to make and sell.

From the article:

President Donald Trump made a bargain with India this week that introduced a simple calculus.

  • America dramatically lowers tariffs on Indian goods.
  • India stops buying Russian oil in favor of Venezuelan and American crude.
  • Russia will be deprived of a core customer and source of funding for the war in Ukraine.

The corporate media hard at work already. Clearly, it must be impossible that a person can be nice to their friends and colleagues while also destroying millions of lives.

US Republicans have proposed $80 billion in spending to deport and imprison immigrants. Including $45 billion for detention centers. $45 billion can build a lot of concentration camps.

"Big U.S. multinationals used to go to China and do a joint venture with a Chinese company to get into the Chinese market. Now foreign companies are coming to China and saying to Chinese multinationals: If you want to get into Europe, do a joint venture with me and bring your technology."

Well, well, well. How the turntables.

In places where there are rules and order, and these things are valued, only important people are allowed to capture Sharpedo.

Even when captured, Sharpedo are treated with care, brought back to land, their fins cut and sold at a high price, and every part of the fish is eaten.

Even the bones are treated carefully, respectfully, and with love.

In such places, the lives of many Sharpedo are not lost unnecessarily, and valuable things are treated as valuable.

In the current capitalist world, which lacks rules and order, people on massive ships capture more Sharpedo than needed, cutting off their fins and throwing them back into the sea while still alive.

This way, they procure them in large quantities and sell them cheaply.

This is meritocracy.

What's wrong with the strong killing the weak?

The former represents many places and values in the Pokémon world.

This time, however, Team Galactic holds the latter worldview.

Light Yagami is the protagonist of Death Note. He discovered a notebook that lets him kill anyone by writing their name in the book (technically he needs to mentally picture their face too).

I'm sure they're so sad to see those colonizers leave.
