Depends on the outcome of the next election.

Great grandfathers service medals from the continuation war.

As I understood it from grandma he was doing damage control when the Soviet fire bombed towns.

And to answer the other part of the question about trust: All stock markets are risky. If you think one exchange is more risky you will not buy any stock on it until it’s cheap enough to make up for the risk.

I don’t intend to get kids but my coworkers have them once in a while.

I think you should have some. I don’t think it should be a matter of pride to not take any.

Need more context. Talking to her about it I guess. But if she is above the age of 18 it’s not really any of my business.

If it’s illegal get the law enforcement involved.

Mob justice is not a good idea.

Is there any example that shows it would work in practice?

Why would they not just be a democracy if people would choose to keep them in power regardless?

I stopped using reddit during the API protests. I refuse to use their app due to ads.

I found lemmy as an alternative mentioned somewhere and decided to try it out. It fulfills the idle sitting on toilet and arguing with strangers on the internet I used reddit for before.

Some reddit communities I was a member of are not active here, but they were not my primary use.

There was a few millennia where kings, chieftans, emperors and the likes were more common than not before we had media. So I’d argue it’s easier to be autocrat without media.

If I buy steel for $1000 and pay 10% tariff the total cost is $1100

If I make a car out of the steel and sell it I don’t pay any tariff. But I’ll charge $100 more because my steel cost was higher. (If someone abroad buys it their government may force them to pay a tariff, but I don’t see that directly).

If I buy an engine I’ll pay the engine tariff, they don’t care if it’s made of aluminium, steel, wood or whatever. The custom officer will look at it and say that it is an engine and therefore it will be subject to engine tariffs.

It’s always the total price of the thing you pay a tariff on. If you buy a car you pay the car tariff. If you disassemble the car and ship the parts in a box the customs official may decide it’s “car parts” and you pay the tariff on “car parts” which may be higher or lower.

A minority of the population benefits from an autocracy.

And/or they will be seen as traitors to whatever comes to power after the autocrat.

They don’t need them.

Stop selling spare parts and they will soon be useless.

They are incredibly maintenance intense even in peace time. In wartime even more so because even minor combat damage adds up.

Iran bought 79 F-14 in 1974. Revolution and arms embargo 1979. In 1984 they had 15 airworthy planes kept in shape by taking parts from other F-14s.

They have since got some spare parts from hostage deals and the black market. Probably reverse engineering too so they have about 40 of them flyable. But the 5 first year has 80% of the fleet grounded should say something about it.

They could assassinate you on foreign soil, and they have (Khashoggi comes to mind, any others I should be aware of?)

But how common is it unless you’re a major regime critic?

I bet it would take me 15 minutes to teach you to put 80% of shots on a dinner plate target at 100m with my 50 year old hunting rifle I got for free of an old man who moved to the city.

Classical bows require strength to use. They have no sights either so you have to go by feel. Modern compound bows are easier to shoot but the arrow still drops much more than a bullet, so shooting at longer ranges is harder.

Smaller caliber guns can be suppressed to be fairly quiet. A bow will be quieter but not by an order of magnitude.

The advantage of a bow is that it’s easier to find somewhere to practice because even the most reckless shot the arrow does not travel as far before it drops to the ground. You can also reuse your arrows.

It’s probably better to buy it along the way.

Yes inflation will make honey more expensive over the coming 50 years or so. But it will make everything else more expensive too.

I’ll keep my money on a savings account instead.

In a way they answered your question.

What kind of government? Am I born into a group that benefits from whatever the government is doing?

There is always a group of people that benefits from a government. Authoritarian governments that tends to be much less than the 50% required to win an election.

I am much more likely to support a government that does not see me as a questionable element and potentially an enemy of the state.
