When you tell people that this is how they do it. Then move in and out reproduce you. And that's what the crusades were about. Muslims taking over Europe by out breading and the christians pushed back. They look at you like a deer in the headlights.
I dont think so, If you ask a person with a monologue they look at you like your stupid say "yeah, it wont shut up". Ask someone without they look at you like have two heads and say "umm no?" Cause they cant imagine. The idea is crazy.
It says there will be massive environmental disasters up to and possibly including entire nations being wiped from the earth. That is the entire subject of the paragraph. You have to take the whole paragraph in context. One word does not change that, it clarifies it.
I was afraid of that. Trying to keep it brief.
I have a hard time with punishing some low level worker especially when it directly leads to problems for us. But I think that is what has to happen.
Directly attacking the supply chain will hurt us directly. But if we want the system to change its gotta happen. I dont know of another viable way.
The situation reminds me of a scenario in a Robert A. Heinlein book. I think it was "The cat who walks through walls" but I sure could be wrong.
The main character found himself in a futuristic place. He was missing his leg from mid calf down, dont remember why. He woke from a coma to find he now had a complete leg. It was perfectly integrated and functional. It was his leg. It was harvested from a genetic clone. Later he is asked to do something that was the right thing to do. Something he would have done if asked. But it was said that due to his "gift" he should do the request. His response? Take it back, No? I didnt ask for it. Give me a saw ill do it myself.
I am not defending whats going on. And your examples are exactly right. They will hurt us. We are going to have to do things that hurt ourselves to change things.
Your expertise is impressive.
But Michael Chriton wrote about this in 2002
If your not familiar his books are sci-fi mostly - but they are extensively researched and footnoted.
Its not the anomalies they find, I love that stuff. Its the raging buttholes that wind up in out front. Of course the most outspoken are gonna get the most attention. But man, these guys attitudes. I dont think I have ever seen a flat earth post that didnt call anyone who didnt see things their way the most vial names.
The guy in red is with him? What was that?
