Is our current era of peace coming to an end?

[Ash]

Despite what many people will say, the world is basically more peaceful than ever. A few relatively minor local wars, but nothing major. I can't help but feel like this has to come to an end at some point though.

It's peaceful on the outside because nowadays you get fined & cancelled for everything.
On the inside there's too much hatred and we are no where near "civilized" as we appear to be.
People are only quiet because it's forced upon us

Like in Yougoslavia where different peoples were forced to live and work together but never stop hating each other. At the death of Tito, nobody was left to lead them, to force them and civil war has come, like in USSR or even older examples like the republic of venice, where peoples were forced to live in closed quarters at night to prevent them to fight each other each night.

It's always the same story and peoples never learn. Peacefull societies exist, but they're always ethnically and culturally homogeneous (Japan is a very good example). If these conditions aren't met, tolerance can be forced for a few decades, until exhaustion and after that, when people can no longer take it, civil war comes. Each time the same story and people never learn.

It's very interesting to watch old pieces of soviet propaganda, their "brotherhood of peoples" used to destroy russian nationalism. And later, at the fall of URSS, the rise of all nationalisms to destroy the union. Same gonna happen with the EU soon, exactly the same and like before, people will not learn ... It's not complicated to understand, but few want to admit it.

The real pacifists of today are the peoples who encourage each people to return to the land of their ancestors. Because it's the only viable peaceful solution in the long term. And since we are unable to make this peaceful choice, by ideology, we will have war.

It's sad and I hope one day we will learn to live peacefully on our lands and don't try stupid experiments again. History, guys, learn about History if you don't want to repeat failed systems.

Not every non-native in Australia, the US, and Canada can afford to pack up everything and move to their ancestors continents.

That last article again is an opinion. Written by someone who thinks inflation is a government conspiracy...

[Yamantaka]

Our current era of "peace" is not exactly peaceful either. Type of conflicts have changed in time, but certainly not have ended. In average someone dies due to violence every 7 minutes. That doesn't sound as what I'd call an era of peace.

Even one full day of peace and nonviolence seems to be hard for humankind to achieve.

I'm not denying inflation exists. I'm just saying, if you took some time to learn a bit about economics, you would find these articles much less frightening.

I talk mainly about the EU, you don't face exactly the same problems in America, Canada and Australia. The peoples aren't the same in your countries, you have more common points and a lot more protection against abuses. With efforts you can make it I think, because your divisions are mainly political ones. Not the same situation at all, but the EU is done, I don't bet a cent on the survival of the European Union.

I kinda hope TRASH is hinting at MMT.

[Nomad]

I think it would be easier for you to study it, I'm not a professor and it isn't my job to explain these things in detail. But I think it would be important for you to understand things like economic growth, supply and demand, boom/bust economics and why natural inflation is desirable in an economy.

[Plaid]

my kinda hopes are kinda dashed. Oh well.

I'm just kinda hoping he pulls a more reputable source than a Yale economist who predicted the last economic crisis to explain how the same economist is wrong to warn of the collapse of the american economy by the end of 2021.

I never said he was wrong. I said the article was sensationalised. I already explained recession is a natural part of modern economics. Which is what he was describing, but your article tried to portray as a doomsday scenario.

[Netaris]

The american economy will be fine, no collapse in the end 2021, you'll see. I've seen articles on the collapse of economy for the next year since decades, always wrong. Of course one time they gonna be right, eventually, but not that time I think. The american economy is too important for too many countries to let it collapse. For now at least.

If you can genuinely call it 'peace' with a straight face (because I can't), then yeah, it's just about over.

I prefer to think of it as the calm before the storm.

He didn't say it would fail. He predicted a 35% crash. Also you don't seem to understand how money is printed if you think an increase in money being printed is a bad thing. You think because money is being printed, it means the economy will collapse. Actually it indicates economic growth.

This is why you should take some time to learn something about economics. So you can understand these things.

What global collapse of economies?

There is a hiccup on the way, we just don't know how powerful it'll be. Or more importantly, what will be affected.

Electronics market crashing (and it is semi-crashing now, with semiconductor crunch) isn't nearly as doomy as food&water going into short supply. And food has been getting more difficult to produce with the climate shifts.

Question is, how much more trouble we'll have.

In the end, wars are fought over resources, food often being paramount.

[Captain Morgan]

As long as "democrats" rule and they enforce totalitarian practices, under the pretext of general population's health&wellfare... Plus, needlessly probe and provoke Russians while at that and all this goes on... Then indeed, peace is endangered.

One can hope. But Venezuela happened, and the great reset is currently happening.

I don't know how the us economy is supposed to thrive under a new globalized economy that shuts down every aspect of what makes America an economic powerhouse.

Lmao comparing USA economy to Venezuela economy lmaooooooo
