    Devils advocate.

    The library was built by the wealth of a nation which conquered widely, the space race was driven mainly by the cold war and to show that america could launch a payload wherever they wanted with complete accuracy and do it twelve times without substantial financial trouble, the global supply chain is bathed in blood and the luxeries it provides are at the expense of others. That last one’s not really devils advocate the reason you can get bananas is due to some horrific shit. Same with cocoa, coffee, and many electronic components.

    Though yeah legit though violance hasn’t always been the historic answer.

    Also, it really didn’t have to be where it was. We could have much of this without bpoodshed it’s just easier for those in power to do so with the violence. It keeps them in power

      Well it enables capitalists more profit, so that’s why it keeps them in power. The liberal experiment has been a failed experiment from the jump.
