The primary error in your reasoning is that you assume that I'm some kind of empowered slave holder. But that's not true. In fact, all of my ancestors that I know of are peasants, some of them serfdom peasants, most of them surely

Does it? FPVs and Lancet drones and anti-ship missiles and Shahed/Geran' reliably show their ability to hit many of orders of magnitude value targets. The future of the warfare is when you have no high-value targets at all on the

You can buy this one, save for a few years and get a better one, then have children. Once you get this rolling you can improve your situation every few years. The problem with "the projects" is that undesirable people get to live
