Rationing has ONLY worked under the circumstances of a society that has cultural hegemony, is under an external attack and there is an acceptance that this is temporary until the situation is resolved.
And that's why Ingsoc waged perpetual war. And probably why politicians are inordinately fond of war: it gives them more popularity and gives them control.
The left have removed everything but external attack
They try to frame other things as external attacks: climate, viruses, etc.
These kids have been imprinted with these dumb ideas without understanding the concept of cause and effect or consequences.
But... but... the reason 90% of them vote for Biden and only 4% for Drumpf is because they are SMART and have GOOD ideas.
War isn’t going to work as a unifying force nor as a vector for control in America going forward. The most effective soldiers and their biggest supporters have dropped out of the military pipeline and no longer support the government.
