[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 16 2016]“Mankind is a real smart species. We’ll kill everything here and then fly to Mars.”
Indeed! lol. Just like one of the smartest guys around, Stephen Hawking, said: “humanity will have to move to outer space within a century or become extinct.” Sarc? Nope. Why would we find worth living after we turned the earth into a smoldering hell hole, is a mystery to me. Never mind the techno-fantasy of a Mars colonization.
“You do realize that a Hillary vote is a vote for Nuland, right?” I am painfully aware. However if anyone harbors any illusion that Trump would be any better in any possible way forget it. The man and his followers are firstly and lastly about domination. Some hints may come out that Trumpism will be all about rational foreign policy but the first time anyone hints he is giving away one single thing or that some country is getting the better of the US then swords will be drawn.
Cripes, the man and his followers are unapologetic authoritarians and often sadists. The entire neo facist right in America is enthusiastically pro Trump.
While the establishment of Democratic leadership and really the leadership of both parties favors a ‘soft’ sort of domination via neoliberalism backed by ‘humanitarian and free market’ seeking military solutions. Both are terrible but the latter contains a hint of possible roll back while retaining some adherence to the rule of law, tattered as it is now.
If authoritarians were to actually believe they have a popular mandate, well the cure will be worse than the disease.
“…the British are too lazy to do the work.”
The Americans, too. But their attitudes will change when they are “hungry enough.”“Cripes, the man and his followers are unapologetic authoritarians and often sadists. The entire neo facist right in America is enthusiastically pro Trump.”
What a crock. The real authoritarians are the sadomasochistic Zioglobalist corporatists and bankers and their “useful idiot” allies who have infiltrated our US political administration. America’s neofascist right is our political status quo, which Hillary will perpetuate with gusto. It is the ultimate in naivete to think that they can be displaced with “good faith” negotiations.I think rapier has some interesting angles here but ‘soft’ sort of domination may be a bit of a stretch – think Syria, Vietnam etc..
Let’s make America great again is however a hopeless cause given the context. I think they mean Great like when cars were huge and white people ran the show like the 60’s and 70’s don’t they? Raul is spot on with the whole end of growth thingy – less to go around means more ruthlessness me thinks. Bill Mollison just passed away and barely made the news even though people as notable as Prince Charles are keen students – so permaculture and the like is out- Robots, surveillance and the running out of stuff is in.
