Not when they break the law, when they break the law in such a way that it hurts other capitalists. You are allowed to use and abuse the average citizen, just don’t steal another billionaire’s share of the pie.

It’s capitalism on turbo, but they also have all the means of manufacturing everything so they don’t depend on a competing state.

It’s still late stage capitalism, but it’ll probably exist in that for a lot longer the US empire, which is collapsing because it prioritized short term profit over long term sustainability and now that china caught up in quality and pretty much surpassed it in reputation, it’s beyond repair.

So they’re desperately trying to control oil supply around the world, to maintain value of the petrodollar.

Most of them are dual citizens anyway, easiest out for any military.

They have the option of refusing service and serving a few months in jail instead of shooting toddlers in the head. Conscription is not an excuse.

If you’re downvoting the idea of refusing to shoot children for 30 days in jail, you might just be a Nazi.
