Wars are subscription based now. Instead of one massive and enormously expensive short-term conflict, you get a decades-long enormously expensive conflict.

Vote out the lobby groups pushing American politicians into war.
Oh wait, you can't. Your democracy sucks ha ha

If you try to unsubscribe you’re a traitor, and probably antisemitic…somehow!

AKA, the forever war, from 1984, where war is waged specifically to waste and destroy the product of economies, to keep the proles poor, and thus unable to rise up against their oligarchical masters.
We’ve always been at war with Iran.
They've been an imminent threat for decades now!
People are rising up in other poorer countries, but I dont know if it has any effect. Massive demonstrations and many people killed, but is change happening?
I dont know. Human societies are just dumb and not built for human happiness. Its just a big tax and profit game people run through for their entire lives. Then they get old and die. Thanks for your effort. Lol.
It's important to understand that change happens when we force change to happen, not when we implore the people who have already decided not to make change to reconsider. Demonstrations are great to raise awareness of the issue, but when it comes to actually changing anything, they're pretty crap. At best they can scare someone into making change if they think the demonstrators might get violent if they don't, like how the black panthers scared politicians into that very belief during the civil rights movement.
The issue now is that nobody believes we'll actually get violent, and for good reason. Generations have been raised on the idea that "violence is never the answer." Basically our only option to really make change is to use our numbers against them, but that means that some people are going to need to overcome their conditioning and volunteer to be the first to make the choice to rise up, likely to their own demise. If we can't do that, we're screwed, so the question is how bad does it need to be for it to happen, and will it be too late by then?

Upgrade to premium to receive rations
WWX brought to you by Charleston Chews
When war is baseline, and peace requires an ultimate seasonpass to enable purchasing it as pay per view. Luckily getting access to the unaffordable housing dlc only requires purchasing the "falsely advertised tertiary education with no actual marketable skillset"...
Valve: WW Alyx
We've moved from waterfall through to an agile continuous-delivery world war paradigm.
Oh god, are we sprinting toward the downfall of civilization?
Perhaps. We’ll know when the authorities feel they Kanban books.

Here comes the Cuba DLC

World War 365
Pretty sure they renamed it to Copilot
I knew Valve was behind WW1 and WW2...
That's actually really convenient for managing shareholder value expectations.
Continuous Invasions / Continuous Deployments model.
It’s been that way since the1990s, no?
Cold war is out, perpetual war is in.
Pretty sure this is the plot of Metal Gear Solid.
WW s09e21The One With The Middle East (Part 7)
That all started with the rebranding of war as a conflict, i.e Korea. It worked, so we've been in conflicts ever since. No danger of world wars anymore.

It’s basically the geopolitical version of releasing a game in alpha, getting review-bombed, then delisting it and relaunching six months later under a new title with 80% of the same assets and a slightly different trailer voiceover.
Paid tier with ads.
I guess the world is like Valve, no Half-Life 3, Portal 3, Left 4 Dead 3, World War 3, nothing.

And the dlc's have increased in price dramatically lately.
DLC heavy breathing intensifies
What we forgot is that peace is the subscription model. The institutions supporting it require constant attention and care. Once you take them for granted and decide they’re not needed, that’s when the default, war, comes back.
