Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Actually, if it takes us this amount of time to get used to the idea, what is the amount of time it takes for the sheeps (those who resist the idea of PO, or the 95% of the population we struggle against to bring this idea of PO to) to accept PO?

Rather, how long would it take the world to understand and react to it?

That's the fear that I have, and that's the advantage I see ourselves having right now.

Re. Bart re. survivalism no longer:

If you believe we're heading toward a scenario that involves increased use of coal and a major eco-splat, that's all the more reason to get with others, form community, and cooperate to assure that your memes make it forward to the next generation in an organized manner.

Evolutionary history shows that humans do best to meet crises by cooperating with other humans. Few are those who make it all by themselves, and prudence indicates it's best to not count on being one of those.
