Iraq had the second largest army in the world, and we destroyed it's capacity
to fight back in hours with minimal losses
[when the battles are still measured in "hours since it begun" and before it
switches over to making more sense to count it in days]

the second reason is that the supreme court recently repealed the Chevron
doctrine, meaning experts and specialists in government positions are now
unable to perform their jobs unless they are loyal to the party in charge.
this is an extreme form of authoritarianism unheard of outside of
dictatorships. It is tyranny, to demand allegiance in order for the government
to function.
if the experts are purged, the decisions made by the systems they once upheld
will no longer necessarily be tied to reality. this is one of the primary
reasons why the Soviet Union fell into decay, and I will not tolerate that
flaw to be introduced into our domain.

do you have a glass bottle with a weird shape that's hard to clean that has
something stuck on the inside?
try using salt, lemon/lime juice, and a bit of water. Then shake really hard.
Works like a charm in most cases.
plus if you happen to have more than one for whatever reason, you can re-use
the cleaning solution!

[all they have to do is convince people that you are as your social media says
you are and they can make you connect to any other being. just... change the
narrative, toward something you predicted all along. secrets, of bastards and
infamy, where do your foremost belong?] whoops they're trying to change her...
you predicted all along the possibility that is within reach by the ones who
aren't just playing along. hence the eternal armament, the idea that a storm
of guns would solve the whole world. what if the political violence is just
the [marketing/psyop]'s point of view of the arms industry? they can always
sell more guns. what if we just... forced a massive reduction in military
armament budget in every SINGLE government in the world? there'd be a lot less
triumph and die-strife if we only had like, 50 tanks. what if we divided the
military command to each proportion of the populace, and let them vote
collectively for what to do with it? yeesh... makin' enemies of our foremight.

game where people in helicopters designate targets for a massive mech the size
of godzilla (but which moves much slower)
while infantry 1/10th the size of normal RTS units capture buildings
the goal? take out artillery emplacements which are aiming at your mech while
also protecting your own emplacements

a militia, if you will, that is well regulated and armed.

I am sure that each and every one of the communist political theories are more
developed, well rounded, and applicable to many different situations.
however, I find that they often require an expert to implement. Hence why I
set out to create a system that could be utilized by civilians in a war-time
economy to accomplish the goals of getting everyone enough food to eat.
I don't anticipate Algorism to remain permanent, but I do think that if you
try to overhaul our systems and institutions with something that requires a
master's degree to understand the nuances of (or a lot of dedicated reading)
then people will not consent.
We must replace capitalism. People like the concept of capitalism for it's
simplicity, for to them its just "work a job, get dollars, go spend dollars,
get stuff"
That's pretty darn easy. But capitalism is an evil beast, and power accretes
power.
So, capitalism must be replaced with something simple which abolishes power.
After the war, it can be replaced.
