As ... immensely ironic and basically ideologically cruel as it is, we should absolutely emulate this attitude, learn from them.

They get starved and blockaded, we get flooded with hypereffective digital marketing, insane overproduction of single use garbage, horrendously overpriced cars full of more factory defects than a t34 from 1942, that is half illegal to repair on your own ... while almost no one makes anything built to last any more.

Again, very ironic, but this actually results in a very similar situation for most normal people, at least once all the credit cards stop working.
