General Jack D. Ripper : Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake : No, I don't think I do, sir, no.
General Jack D. Ripper : He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Just wait til Bill Gates begins twiddling with these mosquitoes at the genetic level - as threatened. What could possibly go wrong, for the Sorcerer's Apprentice?
"I know! Let's compete with a non-product, technology PoC that has no proven market, PLUS a high-degree of resistance and hostility by prospective customers!"
"That's why you're the boss, J.T. and why you make the big dollars."
Bizarre argumentation. One hardly knows where to begin with your assumptions and red-herring analogies.
To address your first point - with it's ill-considered implications of parity between democracy, capitalism and actual worth or value: Commercial success at this scale simply indicate how thoroughly that vulgarity and thoughtlessness have been cultivated and encouraged by this media-driven culture over the past 90-100 years or so.
When people make "free choices" in such a society, they do so in appalling ignorance, with a maximum of empty stimulation. This is the post-Edward Bernays world.

Only Israelis are allowed to keep original citizenship, all others forswear loyalty to foreign "prince, power or potentate".
Now, WHY is that?
Once you renounce citizenship, I don't think the united states will let you back in, I'm not entirely sure but I believe that is the case.
It's like prison, that way. You have to commit the crime again and be re-convicted, to be admitted back to the circle of convicts.
US History is the only relevant topic, concerning that failed state.

Oceania has ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR with East Asia.

The vulgarity of this decadent age. So? He rapes the corpse of JRR Tolkien and that's just fine if it earns a bauble and a penny?
That was a case of "resource constraint".
Exactly.
