"my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defence of myself,"

For a culture, that sounds like a feature, not a bug.

I don't hate the idea of FAANG unions, although I expect you just end up with two abusive quasi-monopolies instead of one. (Question: Why is Netflix in that group aside from the unfortunate new acronym?)

Because they pay massive salaries, at the same level of the other companies.

FAANG is so constituted because at the time, all of those stocks were massively outperforming expectations, and the market in general.
