FUCK DRAGHI!

If I know Italian history well enough, a Garibaldi or Mussolini will show up soon enough to liberate you guys.

You're going to need to substantiate this. Marduk already kindly gave just the tip of the iceberg on reasons why Earth is capable of supporting massively more than it currently is; what have you got?

I'm sure he did and I'm also sure it is utter bunk.

We have already hit peak coal, peak copper, and peak sand that is industrially useful. The Oceans are acidfying at a shocking rate and fisheries are declining. Bug populations have dropped so much that birds are dropping out of the sky from starvation, and the aquifers the US depends on for much of its farming is depleting faster than they can be replenished. Fresh Water is declining and we already have water wars breaking out. Sea levels are rising and the weather patterns are getting more erratic and spawning off worsening storm seasons.

Technology won't save us, efficiency won't save us, or any other flippant ideal. In the end, we live on a finite planet with finite resources we have failed to utilize properly in the 60s and 70s to develop Heavy Lift Rockets. Now we are in the throes of a catastrophic systemic collapse followed by mass die offs. We at Peak Prosperity have seen this coming for some time now.

Corona was a symptom of a far larger problem which is the declining resources we as a species have access to and which the global elites want to control as the entire system crashes. And it will crash. That is baked in, the only question is if you are personally prepared to rough it. You got 8 years to figure it out and make sure the global elites bite the dust and not you, because they are sure as hell going to make sure you die so they can live.

This is all obvious shit that transcends ideologies. If you can't see that, then you are not an adult and incapable of having an adult conversation and I can not help you as you lack up-down thinking and a clear picture.

Moving on.



The Doc lays out the facts.

FUCK I hope not. I hope my fellow Brazilians are still the fuck all attitude.
People simply don't comply whenever they don't want to, but the (extra-official)pressure is there. My elder brother was flatly told 'get a booster shot or get fired', in spite of there being no legal basis for that.

A Congress Representative has sent a letter to his company asking exactly what legal basis they had for doing this(too late for my brother - he got the booster shot), but even that isn't sure to work, because COVID restrictions are being openly used by politicians to go after people they want to go after, while Bolsonaro doesn't do shit about it(while they're hunting every loud-mouthed nobody on twitter, who can't defend themselvees from the weight of a politician or Supreme Court Judge making things difficult for you, they aren't going after Bolsonaro, after all...).

Basically you are telling me not to come back yet.

This is the part where I cease to care what you have to say anymore; the part where it stops being an argument you're presenting, and devolves into just you insulting the intelligence of everyone you disagree with.

You presented one link, which doesn't even necessarily support your argument, and no other evidence at all, just a slew of very drastic claims.

Then you not just insult people who don't agree with you, you claim they aren't even capable of having an adult conversation.


I'm sorry, is this actually a serious problem you're trying to convince people to do something about, or something you use to feel like you're wiser and more enlightened than other people about?

People have been predicting environmental doom for a long time. Peak Oil, Peak Coal, Peak whatever. If some of the predictions made in the 1970's had come true, the earth would already be a post-civilization wasteland.

Doesn't mean humanity can't ever run short of something essential, of course. But when doom-prediction after doom-prediction has failed...

I'd worry more about the economic problems caused by all the lockdowns.

Which is stupid...because water is freaking plentiful if you put a little effort into it.
Nuclear powered desalination plants are a thing, the politics is getting in the way.
Also if we'd be willing to tolerate Kowloon city level crowding IIRC we'd be able to stuff all of the planet's current population into a New York city-sized area.Hydroponics can also help out,too.And there is a lot of under-used arable land and food that gets eaten by pests before it gets to markets.India for example can turn into an exporter of food if it didn't have religious taboos against killing various pests.
If I have to choose between a cyberpunk 2077 future and whatever morons like gates are cooking up,well, cyberpunk 2077 it is.Arasaka was far better run,and 2077 had better tech.
