Remember, Wealth is not Money. "Wealth" is indeed created out of thin air, and that's where it goes when it disappears. It's not a zero sum game, if someone gets more Wealth, it wasn't taken away from someone else. If I have 10 shares of stock, and the stock price goes up by a dollar, my wealth has increased by $10. That money didn't come from someone else, and I can't spend it. I don't have that as money until I sell the stock, and until it's sold that "Wealth" value is just fiction.

Pretty sure things are getting cheaper... if you adjust for inflation

It's because the IP addresses that your VPN provider is using are in really shitty colocation facilities, where nobody does anything to curb abusive users. So those ASN's generate thousands and thousands of malicious or bad requests per hour... they get blocked. Run your own VPN out of AWS/GCP etc, or use one with good IP space and you'll be fine.

Wait wait wat, who did NATO help overthrow him? Did NATO launch an invasion, or did we just help the people in Libya who were tired of 40 years of a single ruler? What about the whole "Arab Spring" thing... and by this logic, if a dictator gives up WMD, then he's secured forever? No, fuck that.

a. What about it doesn't make sense? Every place that's tried communism has ended up having to force people to not leave. What are you going to do that's different?

b. Of course I'm a capitalist. More than half of all Americans have retirement savings. That is capital that we are using to create more capital. Not to mention that I work for a company whose goal is to make money, and part of that involves them paying me money to help them. I'm trading my time/effort (capital) for money.
