WAR STIMULUS DEAD 2

The reasons for war never change.  Man has always been territorial because territory has that nifty little thing called “food” in it, and in all of man’s history, be that religious nutters improbable six thousand years or evolutionists dogmas equally unlikely two million, everything can be explained by food.  Just as in the animal kingdom.  You can be as philosophical as you wish ( “we are a moral and reasoning being” ) but man likes to eat to survive, and will do anything to anyone anywhere or anywhen to do so.

*

( talking to you, delusional dimwits who believe we will go against our best interests in eating to “save the planet” ) Man might have choices and free will and rationalizing ability but he also has cultural programming and biological hardwiring which dictate 99% of his actions.  War-what is it good for?  Survival.  And eating.  So get over it, it is here to stay.  Only HOW war is waged differs.  And how it was waged for a hundred years was to turn the economy into war production.  You could do it seriously half assed, such as when fighting Bush Bitches in a colonial war.

*

You could do it All In, a complete effort holding nothing back, keeping your breeders working rather than breeding, turning all media into propaganda and putting every male from 16 to 60 into uniform ( even if only a civilian traffic director ).  That was when typewriter manufactures were making guns and everyone gardened so as to free up food for other countries.  And as I’ve said many times, you can’t throw excess energy and resources at a Total War if you don’t have those resources.  I don’t think it is rocket science on that one.

*

We can’t fight World War Two again because we aren’t the world’s biggest oil producer like we were then.  I’ve also told you that the US experienced Peak Iron Ore in 1959, yet you refuse to believe we could ever have Peak Silver, Peak Gold or Peak Oil.  And in case you kind of missed science, iron ore isn’t exactly scarce.  If we can run out of that, we can run out of anything.  Oh, except Fracking Oil.  That will last forever! ( sarcasm ).  If we cannot duplicate the resource production of WWII, doesn’t it stand to reason we can’t fight that kind of war again?

*

So, what happened?  Why can’t we fight a war and stimulate the economy like we did in World War Two?  Even if our economy could be industrialized again, which it cannot, with little iron ore to build factories, machines or products, and little oil to power all of that, you also need a sound currency to fund all of this economic activity.  And by sound currency, I mean a currency based on a resource that is growing.  The gold supply used to be growing.  We based our currency on that.  Then oil.  But the supply MUST increase.

*

Going by the brilliance of the Crash Course ( which was pure brilliance, but once he became Peak Prosperity I chocked on the bloody stool of optimism that stunk up every page ), of course you need interest to run a successful system and interest can only be paid by growing resources.  Fascism in Italy, or National Socialism in Germany, was an attempt to fund an industrial economy with a national bank.  You had just enough private profit motive to innovate, but enough state control to direct resources towards war.  The Soviet system was another national banking attempt, but there was no motivation.

*

Capitalism rewards the individual for extra work and innovation but allows a bank to divert resources from national interests.  Communism escapes the bankers clutches but offers no rewards.  Fascism avoids both these negative issues, yet nothing is ever free.  If your fascist system cannot grow because your resource base is not increasing, the states needs start eliminating the reward system.  In a capitalist system, the end of resource growth starts diverting the rewards towards the bankers alone.  That is what we are seeing now in our “anything but socialism” system. 

*

So, “interest” isn’t as correct of an explanation as “growth” would be.  Under either system, the rewards continue if growth continues.  The strength of the capitalist over the fascist system is that although the price is higher, the system is more resilient to shocks, or growth slow down.  That is why “interest” is more important, only in that it is a more robust system.  That is why capitalist empires run by private banks out perform other types.  The Soviets crashed economically with a LOT of resources still in place.  They were just as efficient as a square wheel in getting and using them.

*

Our currency has been based on oil since 1971.  That is the year our oil production started dropping, but Saudi Arabia had plenty of oil to make up for that pesky problem.  But oil fields are only good for about forty years optimally.  If you screw up the well by overproduction, you get less than forty ( to be clear, the well keeps producing a lot longer than that, but it is only economically viable up to about forty years ).  Not only did 2005 mark about the fortieth year of Saudi main field production, it also saw I’m Oh So Sure just coincidentally the year of CONVENTIONAL peak oil globally. 

*

And right after that our housing bubble started to signal trouble ( the Tech Wreck can be blamed on the Russian oil slow down ).  Not JUST because the supply of oil started declining but because the US Dollar is backed by oil.  Growth stopped with the growth of oil.  Any economic system we’ve had for the last five hundred years that was successful was based on growth.  Growth is needed to sustain the economy that powers the empire that growths by wealth and resource extraction. 

*

Out-growing the enemy is a strategy as old as the Agricultural Revolution.  Out grow their population for more breeders, more farmers and more soldiers ( that means you grow population until you die, because otherwise your enemies kills you long before that ).  Out grow them economically to have more trade for more war and more population.  It is, quite literally, grow or die.  A binary position ignored by most who think we can survive sustainability.  Gott Damn tree hugging pukes.  Eat a whale dingus!  If you don’t grow, your enemies grow.  Not Einstein levels of genius here.

*

Aaaand, we continue tomorrow.
