Military US Military Is Scared Americans Won't Fight For Globalism

[DarthOne]

Let's see what we'd no longer get new things of:
Phones, Cars, GPUs, Laptops, Anything that uses capacitors, Medical Equipment, F35s, F22s, Boats, Planes, Trains, GPS, AC units, computers in general, sensing equipment, optics, radar- need I go on?

I think our current technology and stockpiles would last us a few years.

 

[Zachowon]

Not at the level we would need to survive

 

[Vyor]

I am okay with this.

I think our current technology and stockpiles would last us a few years.

There are no stockpiles. At all.

 

[Morphic Tide]

I’m talking systematic physical removal and book burnings combined.

Well, you don't need to burn the books, just eject them from the university library and curricula so they stop being in the "general academic soup". Like Florida banning graphic sexual education books, "alphabet people" or otherwise, specifically from schools rather than from sale as a whole. A lot of the impact comes from how non-negotiable their presence is, like all good propaganda.

Edit: Basically, it's quite a lot more legally straightforward to simply make it so that people need to seek them out by forbidding them the priviledged position of presence in publicly-funded education facilities, which accomplishes the needed loss of influence of the ideas therein because their honest intellectual value is not nearly high enough to circulate to a serious policy position otherwise. This lets us both purge the whackjobs and keep freedom of individual speech intact, even if it somewhat damages organizational free speech.

We could totally get away with gutting freedom of speech and religion for big companies like the 1st Amendment doesn't exist in the first place simply by removing corporate personhood, which has always been double-faced liability-shielding horseshit. The reason we have such rights baked into the Constitution is for individual rhetoric, all the giant activism networks are a horrible perversity to the public discourse meant to be guarded.

Yeah, people forget government institution "free speech" is just a fancy term for propaganda. Government speech is inherently controlled by government, the only questions are whether it should exist at all, and if so, which specific part of it should control it.
Do not let the leftist whining distract you from the fact that if somehow "politically incorrect" books ended up in school libraries instead, they would have no hesitation or lack of excuses to remove them promptly.

Ironically, government and civil rights/anti discrimination legislation in practice are one of the main reasons why corpos do it, because courts consider it a valid defense from leftist lawsuits. Get rid of either that stupidity or this particular defense, problem solved. Fuck it, in fact make this sort of virtue signalling legally synonymous with discrimination against the other side.

Who thinks I want a land war in Asia?
I only want a war in defense of Taiwan.
That just happens to spill into India and Vietnam

You want a war with India as well as China? WTF?

Think he means "China blunders into extra fronts because all its neighbors hate it" with India being an ally in the much-delayed conclusion to the Chinese Civil War. Of course, that means there's another nuclear power involved with much more obvious stakes, who has to hedge their bets against yet another nuclear power that's been a long-term rival of theirs.

Ahh ok not as bad as I thought and he is being rather optimistic that non western nations will be willing to destroy themselves for the wests benefit.

Not to mention that the Philippines will definitely become a battlefield.

Conglaturations!

My family back home will probably end up dead in this new conflict. Given that the Philippines sits on a sea lane that will definitely be contested, on top of the whole Spratly Islands shebang.

 

[Marduk]

That's an unusual way to describe the idea of non-western nations opposing the CCP.

Oh don’t worry I know India has geopolitical reasons to be a rival to China. Yet they aren’t stupid they remember the British and what an unstoppable west would do. They may very well not fight China or even take a page from the British playbook and give support to the Chinese if they are losing to make sure neither the west or China wins.

I think their going to be watching the issues on going inside Pakastan.

Stockpiles? In the ''just in time'' age? Stockpiles of anything are anathema to managers, so there are no stockpiles of anything.

Disasters have a way of changing behavior.

 

[PsihoKekec]

We'll see what kind of disaster it takes to do away with ''just in time'' dogma, because the break in supply chains during Kung Flu was not enough.

The consumer culture of buying a new cellphone every few months would take a hit. People would have to learn to keep using older devices for longer.

Speaking of that, my laptop is 7 years old and works like a charm for the basic stuff and old games. I think I can prolong for another one or 2 years if I am lucky.

Implying India would have assured freedom of action in this situation to just act on overblown butthurt against the British from century ago than the threat at hand and at their bloody border.
If they would in fact act this way, they would deserve all the consequences of such idiocy.

The problem wouldn't be that you couldn't buy a new one every few months, it's that you would not be able to afford even a shitty one in the first place. Not that you would care much once the towers and other infrastructure start breaking, making everyone's surviving phones useless as long distance communication devices anyway.

India to fight China.

Until it broke.

Then what?
