The Immoral Economics of War in the 21st Century
War Estimated Total Cost Estimated Deaths Approximate Cost per Death
World War I $208 billion 15–22 million $9,450 – $13,850
World War II $4.1 trillion 70–85 million $48,235 – $58,571
Korean War $341 billion ~2.5 million ~$136,400
Vietnam War $1 trillion ~3 million ~$333,333
Iran-Iraq War $500 billion (est.) ~1 million ~$500,000
Iraq War $2 trillion 500,000–1 million $2 million – $4 million
War in Afghanistan $2.3 trillion ~240,000 ~$9.6 million
Global War on Terror $8 trillion+ ~900,000 ~$8.9 million
In a world where global hunger persists, where families struggle to afford housing, healthcare, or education, the staggering cost of modern warfare reveals a haunting truth: we are spending millions—sometimes billions—per death to kill one another, when that same money could sustain countless lives. It no longer makes moral, ethical, or economic sense to wage war. The cost of killing one human being in war today could feed, house, and educate entire families for generations.
A brief look at the historical ledger of war costs drives the point home. During **World War I**, the inflation-adjusted cost per death hovered around **\$10,000–\$14,000**. By **World War II**, this jumped to **\$50,000 per death**. In the **Vietnam War**, that number skyrocketed to over **\$330,000**, and in the **Iraq War**, it ballooned to a staggering **\$2–4 million per death**. These figures are not just economic abstractions—they reflect a moral chasm. Imagine what \$2 million could do in a struggling community: provide clean water, fund clinics, pay teachers, build homes. Instead, it is used to destroy lives and infrastructures, to traumatize survivors, and to deepen divisions that can last generations.
Even more troubling is that these costs are not borne equally. In 2024, each U.S. worker effectively contributed about **\$664** of their labor-derived taxes to fund wars in places like Ukraine, Israel, or Iraq—wars that many of them never voted on, never supported, and from which they derive no benefit. This forced contribution violates the principle of democratic accountability. Why should a worker in Detroit or a teacher in rural Montana finance a missile strike in Gaza or the occupation of foreign soil? Shouldn’t those who advocate for war bear its financial burden personally?
The human cost is not just lives lost. War displaces families, destroys livelihoods, and creates generational trauma. Civilian casualties often outnumber military ones. In conflicts like the **Iran-Iraq War** or the **Iraq War**, a large portion of the dead were not soldiers, but mothers, children, and the elderly. The euphemistic term "collateral damage" hides the reality of human suffering behind sterile accounting.
Beyond death tolls and taxpayer burdens lies an even deeper problem: war as policy is morally obsolete. In an era of nuclear weapons, drones, and artificial intelligence, war is less about soldiers on battlefields and more about devastating civilian populations from afar—remotely, impersonally, and with increasing detachment from ethical considerations.
Furthermore, war is inefficient. Economists and ethicists alike point out that for every dollar spent on war, a fraction of that amount spent on diplomacy, development, or humanitarian aid yields far greater and more lasting peace. For example, redirecting just a portion of the **\$107 billion** recently allocated to military efforts could completely fund programs to end homelessness in the United States or eradicate malaria globally.
War is not inevitable. It is a choice—one that politicians make with money taken from ordinary people. That choice is often sold to the public under the guise of national security, but more often it serves corporate interests, geopolitical dominance, or political posturing.
If war advocates truly believe in its necessity, let them finance it themselves. Let them forego their tax breaks, their corporate subsidies, their political donations, and instead fund their wars through voluntary contributions. Let them look into the eyes of those who must die for their policies and justify the cost—not just in dollars, but in blood and dignity.
**Conclusion**
To continue killing at the cost of millions per death, while families go hungry and the planet burns, is to commit an unforgivable betrayal of our shared humanity. The economic cost of war alone proves its insanity; the moral cost confirms its evil. In a time when we can no longer afford ignorance, we must demand better accounting—not just in budgets, but in conscience. It is time to stop funding death and start investing in life.
The cost figures are mostly U.S. expenditures where available, and casualties include both military and civilian deaths where possible.
| War | Total Cost (USD, Inflation Adjusted) | Estimated Deaths (Military + Civilian) | Approximate Cost per Death (USD) | Notes |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------|-------|
| **World War I** | ~$208 billion (in 2020 dollars) | 15–22 million | $9,450 – $13,850 | Total deaths ~40 million including wounded; U.S. cost ~$22 billion (nominal) |
| **World War II** | ~$4.1 trillion (in 2020 dollars) | 70–85 million | $48,235 – $58,571 | Massive global conflict with highest casualties and costs |
| **Korean War** | ~$341 billion (in 2020 dollars) | ~2.5 million | ~$136,400 | U.S. cost about $30 billion nominal |
| **Vietnam War** | ~$1 trillion (in 2020 dollars) | ~3 million | ~$333,333 | Includes military and civilian deaths in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia |
| **Iran-Iraq War** | ~$500 billion (estimated) | ~1 million | ~$500,000 | Exact cost estimates vary; long war with heavy casualties |
| **Iraq War** | ~$2 trillion (including long-term costs) | ~500,000 – 1 million | $2 million – $4 million | Includes direct and indirect costs, casualties vary by source |
### Explanation and Sources:
- **World War I:**
- Deaths: 15–22 million (military + civilian), with about 40 million total casualties including wounded[1][2][3].
- Cost: U.S. spent about $22 billion nominal, inflation adjusted to about $208 billion[6].

- Cost per death: ~$50,000.
- **Korean War:**
- Deaths: ~2.5 million (military + civilian).
- Cost: U.S. spent about $30 billion nominal, ~$341 billion inflation adjusted.
- Cost per death: ~$136,000.
- **Vietnam War:**

### Summary
| War | Deaths (millions) | Cost (2020 USD, trillions) | Cost per Death (USD) |
|-------------------|-------------------|----------------------------|----------------------------|
| WWI | 15–22 | 0.208 | $9,450 – $13,850 |
| WWII | 70–85 | 4.1 | $48,235 – $58,571 |
| Korean War | 2.5 | 0.341 | ~$136,400 |
| Vietnam War | 3 | 1.0 | ~$333,333 |
| Iran-Iraq War | 1 | 0.5 (estimate) | ~$500,000 |
| Iraq War | 0.5–1 | 2.0 | $2 million – $4 million |
### Notes:
- These figures are rough estimates based on available data and inflation adjustments.
- Cost per death is a blunt measure and does not account for wounded, displaced, or long-term suffering.
- Civilian casualties are included where data is available, but estimates vary widely.
- The Iran-Iraq War and Iraq War costs are less precise due to varying sources and indirect costs.

Russians and Palestinians, ethical concerns are heightened. In the context of 2024, where an estimated $664 per citizen went towards such actions, it is imperative to scrutinize the morality of such expenditures.
At $664 per citizen, extracted from the hard-earned incomes of taxpayers, the allocation towards conflicts that may lead to harm against certain communities raises significant ethical questions. Firstly, it challenges the principles of justice and fairness. Should individuals who have no direct involvement in or support for these conflicts be compelled to finance actions that may result in harm to innocent civilians, particularly those in targeted populations?
Moreover, there is a moral imperative to consider the consequences of war. Beyond the financial cost, war inflicts immeasurable human suffering, loss, and trauma. Allocating taxpayer funds to support military actions against specific groups perpetuates cycles of violence and undermines the principles of equality and human dignity.
Additionally, the decision-making process regarding war expenditures raises issues of democratic accountability. When governments allocate taxpayer money for military purposes, they do so on behalf of the entire population. However, if the decision to engage in war is not subjected to rigorous public scrutiny and debate, it undermines the democratic principle of government by the people, for the people.
In light of these ethical concerns, there is a compelling argument for those advocating for military action and war spending to bear the financial burden themselves. Rather than imposing the cost on all taxpayers indiscriminately, those who support and advocate for military interventions should be required to contribute directly to funding these endeavors. This approach aligns with the principles of individual responsibility and accountability. If individuals believe strongly in the necessity of military action, they should be willing to shoulder the financial cost themselves rather than imposing it on others.
In conclusion, the allocation of taxpayer money for war, particularly when it involves targeting specific groups like Russians and Palestinians, raises significant ethical questions. It challenges principles of justice, fairness, human dignity, and democratic accountability. As we move forward, it is essential for policymakers to consider alternative mechanisms for funding military actions that respect these principles and ensure greater accountability and ethical responsibility in decision-making processes.
To calculate the cost per person for the combined expenses of $93 billion plus $14 billion, given away for war, we first need to find the total amount spent on war. Adding these two figures gives us $107 billion.
Next, to determine the cost per person, we divide the total amount spent on war by the number of workers. According to the information provided, there are 161 million workers.
\[ \text{Cost per person} = \frac{\text{Total war expenditure}}{\text{Number of workers}} \]
\[ \text{Cost per person} = \frac{\$107,000,000,000}{161,000,000} \]
\[ \text{Cost per person} ≈ \$664.60 \]
So, each person would have to pay approximately $664.60 for the combined expenses of $93 billion plus $14 billion given away for war.
However, if we want to include the cost of other conflicts such as the ones mentioned (murdering Russians, Gaza, Ukraine, and general war expenses), we'd need more specific data on the costs associated with those conflicts. The figure provided only accounts for the expenses related to war generally, so it's challenging to calculate the precise cost per person without more detailed information.

You can't make this shit up. It is all, 100%, about their personal "suffering" and trauma. How the child corpses ruin their appetite. The smell, mind you, not anguish over who they killed. Don't get the wrong impression, they do express feelings of guilt: over the shooting of dogs, or loosing their temper and throwing a can of tuna at a fellow soldier, or endangering the hostages.
And if you needed any proof that there is no repressed deep underlying shame vis-à-vis the tens of thousands of murdered Palestinian children, that the mind-boggling myopia where only Israelis even exist for real is totally authentic, there's the chef's kiss at the end:

in reply to Thebigguy • • •Why? Did you get stuck in a washing machine yourself at some point?
On a more serious note, I remember reading an article once about this phenomenon. About how it's not some widespread latent sex fantasy to fuck step-siblings. Rather it's an odd reflection of how algorithms poison the content in this attention economy. The more unusual the content is (without being outright objectionable), then the more attention it gets for being so unusual. That starts a wave of new creations from content creators to jump on the bandwagon for the popularity of the content that seems to be getting traction. Then pretty soon anyone not catering to this "demand" is an outlier and loses out, so eventually this theme of content floods the entire ecosystem.

in reply to Evil_Shrubbery • • •Vertical video is better for content focused on a single standing performer, because it allows as much of the screen resolution as possible to show the body. Horizontal is better for a performer lying down or any traditional horizontal sex acts, for the same reason.
I'm probably reading a little too far into this, but IMO Gen Z is much less interested in "simulations" of intercourse and is more interested in something "real", i.e someone doing a dance. Intercourse feels like a fantasy, like you're supposed to imagine that you're the one having intercourse, it's that fantasy which is appealing. Something like dancing or dirty talking is more honest about what it is, since a video of someone dancing or talking is essentially the same experience as if they were actually there in front of you. I believe that because Gen Z is more digitally native than older generations, they see digital content not as a substitute or fantasy for a real thing, but rather as a real thing in itself, and the nature of the content they consume reflects that. Another example of this is the shift from real-life streamers who fake personalities but pretend that they are presenting their real selves, to vtubers - who implicitly acknowledge that they are playing a fictional character for their stream as symbolized by their avatars. The human streamers are a fantasy substitute for a real human friend, but with a vtuber the content does not pretend to be different than what it actually is - a pretend character putting on a show for your enjoyment. By acknowledging its artificiality and integrating it into the content itself, it shifts from being something "fake" and "simulated" to being something "real". To me it's the exact same dynamic manifesting in a different area.
Now of course, I do understand that vertical content also simply means you don't need to rotate your phone, and that Gen Z is almost exclusively using the Internet on the phone vs. the desktop as older generations will. But this too is essentially a reflection of the feeling that digital content is not an artificial recreation confined to a specific display area (a TV or computer) but rather perpetually available (your phone), as would be appropriate for something which has taken on the status of being real rather than fake. The two forces reinforce each other, imo.

in reply to handsoffmydata • • •User agent logging is often done by running javascript locally on a machine, so the vpn would just pass the javascript to the local machine on which it would be run, so the data wouldn't be effected that way.
Sometimes TLS fingerprinting is done to try to identify bots and not sure if bots would be included. They probably would be included because if they were blocked, then the javascript catching user would never be run on their machine, although I'm unsure of whether such bots would run useragent fingerprinting javascriot yo try to blend in or block it to avoid unneeded processing.

WhatsApp recently pulled support for some older iOS versions and devices, a lot of ppl threw them away and got Androids instead(as they should), I wonder if that's related to iOS's decrease.

Right, because you're hosting it and distributing it. PeerTube is just like a window to non-local content (except for the local content, obvi).

Edit: maybe it could be caused by a large user base increase that shifted the demographics, but this fast? And the PornHub bans across US states started only this year for the most part if I'm not mistaken, so it shouldn't affect this data?
