Now that I FINALLY have a quiet moment to read this, I really enjoyed seeing the final product.
Unfortunately, I don’t see any way out of this Sea of Worry without mass unplugging from the internet and disengagement with The Current Thing. Just about everywhere I go, everyone I run into - left, right, or otherwise - is caught up in this mindset to SOME degree. Hard for me to think of people who are outside of it.
I just hope that if more people wake up to this reality, the conversation can shift from merely pointing out the obvious (or constructed) and move towards constructive action.
Since the coof the news cycle has turned the people I know into schizo wrecks. I feel fortunate to never worry about 'da current thing'. Though I have considered moving to somewhere else that isn't as active in its self destruction as this country. Finland has rather nice cheap land 🤔
Absolutely outstanding!! Brilliant write up. I am also relieved that someone else out there in the awake community is calling all the WWIII rhetoric out for what it really is - fear mongering that is akin to kicking the nuclear war can down the road…that the threat of nukes is far more powerful (for them) than the actual act. Quality! Thanks.
The British Empire is the model. The USSR was never world hegemon & did not collapse as much as re-brand & shed colonies it could no longer maintain security over. The USA does not have a larger power to stop its interventions as the USA did to the USSR.
I was thinking about Russia in the 1990s. I'd call that a collapse.
The US might be a bit unstable internally if the decline continues, with its gangs of joggers and Haitian cannibals running around unchecked, and its culture of federalism/secessionism.
Regardless, staying up to date with the current thing is a waste of energy. If you believe there will be a punctuated collapse, your time is better spent being prepared for it, whether it is announced in your corner of unreality ahead of time or not.
I think often of agricultural aspects and energy aspects underpinning our extremely high energy existence. Without industrial ammonia fertilizer, many US fields would have their harvest go down to 40% of what they are now. Or, the slow depletion of thousand year refill timescale aquifers, by corporations, industrial farming, and newly data centers. And this is the US, which has some of the most fertile lands in the world. The UK is only, what, 50% food self sustaining? It would probably be nearly completely self sustaining had there been no shortsighted and illegitimate import of immigrants. But the cycle continues I suppose

But… one can dream, right?

Amazing
"Are you telling me that I can watch podcasts in order to be based?"
"No, I'm telling you that when you're ready, you won't have to."
I'm not sure what makes you so confident that a long decline will not be followed by a sharp collapse.
South Africa is an example of continuous decline.
The USSR was an example of continuous decline and a sharp collapse.
What makes you so sure it will be the South African way and not the Soviet way?

HEGEMONY

All I know, for sure, that my country reaction to the cough was very real.
Lost most of my constitutional rights. There is no rule of law anymore. What now?
