Why the fuck are there so few autarkies left? You would think that with the Coof and Russia people are gonna start realizing that "free trade" is a meme and that you should aim to be self-reliant in case shit hits the fan.
Why the fuck are there so few autarkies left...
>yeah bro just subsidize those completely ineffective domestic industries in case this 0.0001% probability event happens
Because it has been proven to be an absurdly retarded concept as evident by the nations trying to practice it
Least retarded Serb
>your brain on poland
for 99% of prehistory 99% of humans were self-reliant lmao
if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all
Humans back then needed basic food, clothing and shelter and that's it. Now they need a shitload of other things that you can't get locally
Smartest man in Serbia
well then make it so that they don't need the latest gayming GPU and you'll be fine
I'm certain a lot of places are looking at it, but the dynamics at the moment make it difficult to do much.
I thought those NATO carpet bombings were suppose to make you dead and not retarded
How about "electronics at all", you know, the thing that you're surrounded by every single day. From air conditioners to cars to elevators to your oven to sliding doors at the store
Haha
we can live without those we lived for thousands of years without that shit lmao
We survived the onslaught of many enemies: Bulgarians, Byzantines, Ottomans, Hungarians, Vatican, Freemasons, etc. NATO is simply one among them
user, do you have the faintest clue what will happen to a country if it tries to be "self sufficient" ala pre - industrial revolution days?
IT WILL COLLAPSE.
The vast majority of nations can only maintain their current population and quality of living due to international trade. This isn't just about luxury goods, but necessities like food, medicine, construction equipment, chemicals, machinery etc etc.
Ok feel free to live in a cave eating street dogs that you hunted. But you won't, you're just larping
I lack the necessary knowledge to live in that kind of environment because I was cut off from the millenia old traditions that are required to sustain such a lifestyle
Autarky is poverty
Its like 90 iq required to realise you're richer if you trade
>90 iq required
average IQ in Serbia is unironically below that
in these uncertain trying times dark winter of the new normal you WILL submit to the global ecohenomy or die
