    I’m willing to bet that they care about their standard of living a lot more if push comes to shove.

      That’s why you degrade and normalize slow and steady. The playbook is written and reused, the product just refuses to read it

        Right that’s been the model, but the problem now is that the system is starting to hit its limits, and it’s no longer possible to do things slow and steady. Now the open cannibalizing of the vassals is beginning. We can already see it with the brutal trade deals the US imposed on the EU, Japan, occupied Korea. The exploitation is only going to get more pronounced going forward.
