I really find all these posts entertaining, there are a bunch of reddit refugees that are trying to impose their ideology on Lemmy. It's almost like they're trying to ironically colonize the space.
Ahh, let me revise; I meant resources not just specifically energy.
So in global political economic theory, wars over race/pride/territory are the superficial reasons for the war. The underlying cause is usually due to resources, or scarcity of. Consider that the people who start these wars are usually starting them because they want more resources. Russia invaded Ukraine because they want that territory in their sphere of influence, not the west's. But there are a couple pipelines that run through Ukraine that generate several billion dollars a year in transit revenue for both Ukraine and Russia.
Syria for example, the US instigated the Arab spring in that country and still occupies the eastern part so they can extract oil. The attempted coups in Bolivia was for Lithium mining rights. African ethnic rivalries are often over resources, etc.
If everyone had enough, most people would be happy, and if they're happy they wouldn't be fighting wars.
I will I haven't heard about memetic hazards before thanks. Either way it's pretty silly to think there's no correlation between capitalism and global warming.
The USA should be making China-level investments in solar. They should be building their own companies and more tax dollars should go to solar than weapons.
It's kinda like when they called it world war 1 and 2 - it didn't actually include the entire world, but it did include so many countries that people considered it to be the world. The amount of people that could die or be affected by global warming could kill billions. Billions.
