Adding onto the other poster's comment, another reason is because the US will never pour unlimited money and resources into these people making sure they do.
Europe didn't pull itself up by its own bootstraps after WWII.

How am I being propagandized by TikTok?
Why does China having every single last drop of my information (they don't even, barely a sliver) matter?
You need to back up what you say. Your Western brainwashed idea of common sense and obvious xenophobia/racism ain't an objective truth in the world.
Can you explain how? All I see are lesbians and black people.
And why does China spying on me matter? It's better than the West, no?
"We're just looking out for the best interest of our children!"
A bunch of 35-45 year old Lemmy users bashing something they don't use but something the kids do. Just like their boomer and silent gen parents.
You guys fucking suck. I'd say I hope you all have sad, pathetic lives, but I know you all already do.
Half of Republicans think Michelle Obama is trans. It's a race thing.
Hamas's victims blood is on the hands of Israel. Hamas didn't pop up from nowhere. This is all on Israel.
Kagi sucks for this reason too. I can't believe people recommend that $200/yr paid search engine garbage.
Apple isn't okay. Apple is forced onto developers. The general population using Apple products requires developers to use Macs. And, last time I checked, it's a lot easier carrying around one laptop than two. It also doesn't hurt that Apple products aren't exactly the quality of off-brand Chinese laptops.
It makes perfect sense. What are you confused about? Are you going to try to "it's just an OK hand symbol" your way out of this? What else would "space lasers" mean in the way you meant it?
Holy shit, what an anti-Semitic piece of shit you are. Absolutely classless.
It doesn't matter that you think this sort of "logic" leads to conspiratorial thinking. There is a "they" and it's the ruling class. The ruling class, and its defenders, is made up of a lot of people and institutions who create, dictate, and govern the systems that keep them and their power firmly in place. Sorry that society is a bit more complicated than you want it to be. Reality is a hard pill to bite sometimes for you racists.
And if you knew anything about anything, you'd know that democratically elected leaders are toppled by their ruling classes and/or outside forces (i.e. US) when something doesn't go in the interest of the ruling class. To think somehow the US is immune from this is absolutely delusional thinking. Not surprising you're into Western exceptionalism with your views on race.
And again, I just want to reiterate how much of a bottom barrel racist scum you are.
Limits aren't a concern if you're controlling a bunch of zombies. The big guys usually have thousands if not hundreds of thousands of 'em.
Are they though? Children have very little autonomy and human rights. They're essentially property of their parents.
What you're saying can happen has literally never happened in human history though, right?
There's a reason why the nonviolent revolution Wikipedia article is essentially empty, right?
(I'm not downvoting you BTW, I upvoted.)
It's really simple. The ruling class of society benefits more sending the little shit into the military than it costs. The ruling class doesn't benefit as much when this little shit costs more than the little shit produces. It has nothing to do with protecting the little shit, it has to do with protecting the people in power.
If we could change politics by voting, we wouldn't be allowed to vote.
We're not stretched thin to finance these changes. Taxes aren't holding us back. This is what those with true power in society and their cronies say to not do anything. This is the whole point.
No one is only blaming "billionaires." This is you patronizing them, portraying yourself as a genius and the person you're responding to as too naive and stupid to understand how life really works.
And no, we don't have agency. We have a deluded sense of agency where we think we can vote and change the system from within.
They're talking about knocking on a door and running away. In context, this means you're talking about being scared for your life and shooting someone in the back as they run away. You're an unhinged motherfucker.

We could always, ya know, stop exploiting and slaughtering animals?
Cops definitely murdered this man.
Still got nothing. You only have fear. You sound like those parents in the 1980's screaming about the devil when a kid dared to listen to Twisted Sister.
