    Usually war is a way to stop a recession/depression since its so profitable.

    The economy has been fucked far longer than the current conflicts that might actually start ww3

      It is only profitable for a few in some places. War is not net good for “business”

          Sounds like the oligarch commandments.

          It’s like Hyperneoliberalism:

          “Nothing bad ever truly happens, guilt is subjective, nothing is real, everything is allowed, but if you take anything from me, it is the worst possible crime in all of history.”

      Usually war is a way to stop a recession/depression since its so profitable.

      When you’re selling into a war market, you can make a lot of money. When you’re in that war market you tend to lose a lot of your expensive durable capital very quickly, which can get very expensive.

      Girl, have you been following THIS WEEK’S news? Like right now is unlike any other time.

      War is historically used to pillage other people when times are rough. It doesn’t stop a recession; it doubles it and gives it to their opponent.

        Stop was a strong word, ill agree. But it is a tool in the arsenal of TPTB when shit turns downward because the economic scam that it is modern capitalism eventually unravels
