Discussion "Dying on the street or dying in war, which do you choose?" Hope I have a heart attack by NYE.

The grim finality of our time and the plan for us is here.
Looking at war history, there's always a period of creating more poor, desperate people that are on the streets just before a war happens. We can try and refuse, but then we end up homeless and on the streets.

No matter how difficult life is, most people choose to live even in the worst adversities. Attachment to life leads many to become tools of rich and powerful people. It is no wonder that positive, pro-life values are instilled in religion and society, and suicide is demonized.

Very well said. Pawns in a game.

I don't think that's accurate. Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq..?
Sure, poverty and crises sees increased amount of conflict, but I'm not sure there's any general rule. War can come without much warning, and modern armies doesn't primarily consist of impoverished conscripts drafted from the streets.

WW1&2 both preceeded by market crashes and housing becoming unaffordable. The so called War on Terror, the same. Ukraine war, the same thing, Russian housing got more expensive. As for the modern armies claim you made, at the moment standing armies may not be but when war starts everyone poor and middle class gets drafted/conscripted and poor people are more desperate.
