So selling things people want = aggression now? Why is everything viewed in term of us vs them?

  oh! man! I'm loving this thread -- there's no question that economic policy is designed as an adversarial game for leverage, especially on the world stage. Taking a step back and seeing how the world has (de)evolved in the past 30 years I'm wondering if selling people what they think they want isn't the best way to bring a society to its knees? edit: and making it just ever so much more breakable to where it's usable but definitely won't last forever..

  Everything isn't us and them, but bear in mind we're not talking about things people want here, we're talking about things people need.
