It's a safety issue as you file it down to a prickly point.

Hell of a line to board tho.

SKAT (a card game or a reference to scat) would work also.

So for what USA presidents said the same applies to their country?

The British from their empire days onwards?

Fascism isn't endemic to Germany, far from it, Germany was just fucked by WWI treaties with no way out and no hopes for future so nationalism/fascism germinated there the most (and they lost the war so we know about their fascism the most).

Africa already had significant ancient civilisations before, the last century or so (when even advanced countries finally mostly ditch what we would see as poverty, like England) it was perpetually fubared by European nations, like literal atrocities we still don't talk about.

Also Africa is very rich in resources. After all, that's why every advanced nation with two extra cents invaded & pillaged it.

Don't worry, it will probably reject him & not want to ever talk to him.

As with other regions, the wars between neighbouring(ish) countries subside with cultural & economic development - if the countries (ever) get to that point (cross several big thresholds). And we don't even have enough data to verify if this is even actually true.

But like Europe, constant warring for millennia up until 19th century, then sure, two really big wars, but you could already see how culture & economy of the masses shifted & favoured peace over war ("even with the stinking neighbours who we are racist towards"), it became harder to entice wars and/or to convince people we need a war with a neighbour.

I feel like this sort of rule of majority (in practice) & low scarcity is the natural equilibrium where huge efforts for maintaining peace aren't required.
(Even both WW were because of this equilibrium shifted massively into huge inequalities.)

African countries (so lower industrial development & big inequalities even on small scales bcs scarcity for basics, like food & life opportunities, exaggerates those) see constant proper wars (1 on 1 skirmishes between two countries or even regions), but since mass starvation became a thing of the past, so did the fighting become less intense.
(Africa is huge tho, generalisations like this aren't representative of actual issues.)

With that I think Middle East would definitely be a much more peaceful place without massive colonialist fuckery over the centuries, or at least without Russia & USA (which covers establishing Israel). Longer lasting stable culture & increasing trade dependency & prosperity + no foreigners financing radical terrorist groups (which comparatively quickly become the dominant power by sheer asset value), yes, I think it would be a much better place & wars a lot shorter.

Now, imagine that Middle East but if the world was already off of fossil fuels for the last century (so less inequality between countries).
Maybe a great (and accessible) active cultural hub between Europe & India?

The theorem has been expressed colloquially as "you can't comb a hairy ball flat without creating a cowlick" or "you can't comb the hair on a coconut".

I'm imagining it delivering nuggets to guys in the trenches over barbed wire and mustard gas.

 

... someone linked this in a Discord server and it's just too horrible not to repost.

Would have turned the switches the other way around tho.
