Yeah but what is the root causes of war? Exactly as it’s described in the opening.
Dwindling resources and tribalism/Nationalism exacerbated by unchecked resource use and kicking the can down the road to solve all the problems generated from that.
I dunno sounds a lot like unchecked capitalism to me.
If we forget about ideology as a cause for a minute, it's true that most wars are fought for resources. However, it's interesting that you point the finger at capitalism, but let's not forget that no economic or political system has ever fully resolved the issue of resource allocation. Whether it's capitalism, communism, or any other system. In theory, communism
might aim for collective management, but history shows us that resource conflicts -- and their consequences -- still occur under any system. The core issue isn't just "unchecked capitalism" but rather the inherent complexity of managing limited resources in any human society. To read Fallout's theme as a critique to capitalism in particular is silly.
