Faster and faster the ship sails towards the perfect storm, just gathering out of sight over the horizon.
They still haven't learned from all this 'Green' madness. But they're invested and in many cases have vested interests, financially, as well as ideologically. That's part of the problem: they really do believe in this 'environmentalist' bullshit. And they're prepared to drag us all down with them.
But it's surprising how quickly people can change faith, just like is happening now in eurocuckland with shifts back to coal and nuclear, as the price of gas (natural) and gas (petrol) go through the roof. Green energy and renewable energy are all well and good, but only the most ardent of the cult members REALLY believe this shit. Problem is, there are still quite a few of them around.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for not pouring oil in to the ocean and poisoning the fish/birds. I'm all for not having to die from nuclear fallout Chernobyl style. I'm all for young kids with asthma being able to breathe and not die from NOx fumes. But the whole 'Green' thing is just a cult of dreamers who are being used by the govt. to push forward whatever agenda they might have. That's why these 'eco-warriors' don't get jail terms and hardly even get arrested. They aren't anti-establishment, they are the establishment's brownshirts. And they don't even realise it.
Sure the whole NOx thing is a problem. But there are whole roads in the UK where cars runs non stop and you can tell the pollution by postcode on an interactive map for your area. It's bad in a lot of areas and not so bad in others, but unless you live in remote Scotland then it's a fact of life. Sure, do something about it, but if you think it can be hand-waved away with magical thinking without regard to massive changes in your quality of life, you're an idiot.
The real fun begins in a bit. We've still got too many bread and ciruses at the moment. Food prices and inflation have to get worse. They will. Fuel for transport and heating the home/cooking willl have to become more expensive again. It will. Jobs being lost as the economy winds down will have to hit more people. The fact that wages are not keeping pace with inflation will have to continue a little longer. Both those things will continue apace and aren't going to stop happening.
We're only just at the start of the process of quality of life changing for the worse for the vast majority of people/society. I'm not clever enough to know if this really is by accident or design (though I have my suspicions), and does it really matter anyway? Are the elites evil or stupid? Both? Does that even matter? There's no doubt there's mismanagement, overbearing managerialism, nepotism, incompetence and ideological kookery at play for a lot of these things. But boy, those rich just seem to keep on getting richer don't they, and the very vast remainder of us - we just seem to be in a perpetual state of stress and worry about the basics of life, when we live in virtual abundance on this island Earth.
It was known in the 70's that the lead in petrol was a filthy contaminant to the atmosphere that would lead to birth-defects and early deaths. But it went full speed ahead then and the economy boomed. Things is, back then was the real peak of the sweet crude being able to come out of the ground, easily and cheaply. So it did. As those fossil fuels get more expensive to extract and transport, so does the 'Green' movement carry on accelerating.
Problem is though you're going to see more of not less of this kind of 'insanity'. In a sane world people would say: ok we had good intentions, we've obviously not got the sums right, the practicality of the situation turns out to be more complex than initially envisioned, we need to change course.
But we carry on the same course. Because there is method to their madness.
I'm not familiar with the making up of these NOx things they seem to be so worried about. But it sounds like a fertiliser to me. And I do know that a load of fertilisers needs fossil fuels to either compose the end product or help to create the end product. It would be great if we could all be really 'Green' and save our shit in a bucket and a bloke come around on Sunday mornings to carry it all away to spread over the fields. What could be more 'Green' than that?
But we live in a hyper-industrialised age, with population ever increasing, standards of living and quality of life ever improving (especially for the nations we outsource our pollution to so we can buy cheap meaningless tat and continue to be the good little consooomers we are programmed to be by the media). Something has to give.
When standards of living go up in Nigeria, they have more babies. The projected birth rate and population statistics in that one country alone are frightening. It already has little infrastructure and is a hell on earth in parts for a lot of people living there. 20 years?
But it's good we're getting to that point that pretty soon we're all going to have to have that awkward conversation about what we expect from life and how we expect to get it, and how much at the expense of others we are prepared to take it, because that is never given. It's why wars start.
I'm not a historian. I'm not a mathematician. I know fuck all about economics and even less about physics. I don't make the rules - I don't even get to vote in an election that would have a meaningful outcome (either way). But I read a few blogs here and there. Try to get as much information and data as I can from disparate sources. Then attempt to put it together in to a meaningful whole. Because the news and the media won't do that for you, for anyone - their only job is to gaslight and psychologically manipulate people.
So if I got anything wrong, excuse me.
It's just that when you pay attention and add all this shit up, then correlate that with your own little personal piece of reality (it's all any of us have), then something seems very very fucky about the whole situation.
But the ship has yet to hit the storm the same way the shit has yet to hit the fan. It will happen. Probably not this year, but in a decade, 25 more years maybe? And most of us will still be alive to witness it when it happens. Front row seats.
Then you will see 'protests'. Then you will see 'riots'.
And not of the kind of the deluded do-gooders and delinquents that we've seen the last couple of years. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, or at least out on my estimates by a decade or more. Coz then I'll be dead and fuck you all! You're welcome to scrap over what little bits of humanity you have left by that point (if any).
The transmogrification of the human race in to bug pod people should be well on its way to completion by then. The race is on! Fuck knows what 2050 will look like...
