the chaos is the point.

who benefits most from chaos? the rich and powerful. you don't sell your daughter into slavery unless things are real, real bad. so things have to get real, real bad.

don't fight the last war

Could agree, if that chaos would be made by anyone smart.

Half smart riches could benefit from chaos, from war, claiming they did invest in war industry already (ok, murica did lot of that).

Unless, real smarts know, they need to feed the cow fair amount to let the cow give more milk. Too poor society won't let riches beat other riches.

Yet another rich will know, they will be real rich on rich streets without poor tents in parks all around - they will be reach in rich society (even if they make that society little rich too).

riches for whom? the powerful feel like they're being unfairly constrained. that we've gotten too big for our britches, too arrogant. what's the point of societal wealth if you can't make someone give you their child to rape?

societal wealth help society mostly and removes authority and power from private wealth. that's the calculus and these people are moloch
