I rarely discuss climate change, because I consider the entire thing to be a kind of slop subject, an Internet fixation for online nerds, and possibly one of the worst of them (worse than even the JOOS).
Nothing good can come from bringing it up, because the worst Internet people come crawling out of the woodwork-- whiny hysterical weirdos with a doom fetish and an addiction to puritanical lecturing and scolding: they view you as an embodiment of the people that never invited them to any parties in high school and college, and they view the subject as an opportunity for revenge, finally.
The sensible thing, therefore, is to avoid it altogether and never get into any debates on it.
Whether they consciously intend it or not (probably not since they don't seem very smart, more spergy than anything else) the climate people often seem to function as a kind of controlled opposition to the dominant neoliberal agenda of endless growth.
It's revealing that they don't focus their energy on practical changes, and building a coalition of allies to bring down the entire framework of the last 50 years, but instead fixate on fighting the people on their side (who may be disaffected with endless growth, but who do not want austerity either).
They're ultimately entirely concerned with tone-policing, witch-hunting, scolding, mocking, and lecturing and they try to turn every engagement into a debate where they make fun of you, rather than build engagement, cement any connections, or whatever-- it's all just whiny tattletale, power-tripping, and bootlicking behavior.
It's the self-appointed (and probably unpaid) hall monitors of the global elite, using the current crisis of the system as an opportunity to indulge in their revenge-of-the-nerds type fantasies.
Many of these people envision the collapse in a karmic sense. They have an endless amount of cynicism for the future of the system, but they suspend all of that when it comes to the future that will take place after The Fall: everything will be wonderful, the wicked will be punished (everybody who hated me IRL, ie most people) and the virtuous will be rewarded (me and the other annoying nerds).
Ironically enough, the actual collapse of law, order, authority, etc ultimately always results in a ruthless struggle for power and resources between competing factions (Syria, Latin America, etc)-- in which case it's precisely the power-tripping skinnyfat nerds who would be forcibly RETVRN'd to their natural environment (the high school lockers): they're not physically skilled enough to know how to do anything practical, they're too clever-silly / smart-dumb to be trusted with anything complex, and even if they somehow had any skills their whiny, self-focused, and anti-social personalities ensure that they can only thrive as bootlickers in a massive top-down system, whereas any real-world team would immediately ostracize them.
Getting back to the real-world, though, this continuous purge of the left ensures that the average voter is presented with two alternatives: delusional huckster growth by globalist scammers nobody trusts or, on the other hand, privation 'for your own good' administered by the beneficent globalist elites, who happen not to practice a single aspect of their ideology (private planes, mansions, and caviar for me; public transportation, overcrowded apartments, and slop for you!). As I said, it obstructs change while LARPing as radicalism.
The climate people also love to cry and rage and whine about the evil knevil WHITE MAN and his domination of the world, desire to rape Mother Nature (don't ask about their weird fetishes), and so on and so forth-- just endless lamentations-- but then of course they say nothing about the tremendous rise in emissions from 3rd-world countries that's taken place since the 80s, and is still going strong in the 21st century, thanks to off-shoring during the neoliberal era.
The system they have in mind is one where the average worker in some shithole post-industrial service economy in Britain or France or wherever will have his entire routine micro-analyzed and carefully scrutinized by overpaid bureaucrats with useless college degrees-- is this food good for the environment? what about eating chemicals instead? could you give up this? what about not having a car?-- while China, India, and Vietnam (and the global corporations that have off-shored production there) operate massive sweatshops which dump endless tons of garbage into the environment, with zero regulations over anything, and nobody does or even says anything about it (let alone the brave climate warriors).
Somehow they inhabit a fantastic world where the continent of Europe showing lower emissions, and the continent of Asia having higher emissions, is just a random accident-- as if they weren't DIRECTLY LINKED TO EACH OTHER-- nah just a total coincidence, nothing to see here, but make sure to throw your trash into one of sixteen different bins (while we off-shore your job to some sweatshop) and pay this new tax we're going to introduce (now that American manufacturing in Vietnam is destroying the environment).
Then they accuse their opponents of being anti-science and having low IQs.
It's really the ultimate product of neoliberal delusion, a fake & gay ideology built on a hallucination-- it's somehow self-contradicting, deeply retarded, socially alienating, and impossible to bring about, and all of those AT THE SAME TIME too!
I downloaded the data on emissions myself, as part of my little 'mini-project' thing, and I may / may not post it: but you can just look at the graphs available on the Internet, if you're curious.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to comment on the methodology like the other Low Status White Males, but for now I'll just assume that their methods are correct and accurate and the data is trustworthy, while of course not agreeing their moronic brain-rotted neolib ideology.
I looked at all the major 1st-world advanced economies and they all show a decline, typically starting in the 70s-80s and then accelerating further after the 2000s: not coincidentally, and respectively, the beginning of the neolib-neocon era and then China's entry into the WTO in the early 2000s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States%E2%80%93China_Relations_Act_of_2000
Some like Germany still somewhat kept their manufacturing sector (though who knows after their suicidal economic war against Russia), but even they show a decline.
The great contributors (where emissions have grown tremendously) are all in the 3rd world. I specifically searched for the major sweatshop nations-- Guatemala, India, etc-- and they show the reverse pattern: low emissions before 1980, and then skyrocketing afterwards.
Some of them are a little bit delayed, probably reflecting a secondary wave of off-shoring targeting them (or moving factories from China to there), but the pattern is there still.
It's weird how the culprits in their narrative are the exact opposite of who we can single out from looking at the evidence: they blame 1st world nations, and specifically the working and middle classes within those nations, who must adopt their behaviors in line with the austerity agenda, pay special fines, bla bla bla and just in general bow down to the power-trippers.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the people behind this are the MBAs and FiNAnCIaL enGInEErS and yuppies, meaning the elite in 1st world countries (and global corporations generally) along with foreign nations (who largely play a secondary role)-- yet of course they are never singled out for blame or even mentioned in the narrative.
As usual when you obey power-tripping faggots, everyone does what they're told and still gets punished anyways: the problem they claim to be experts in solving just gets worse, and therefore more fines and taxes must be levied, the lower and middle classes sink due to losing good jobs / working retail, and so on and so forth, the elites get to collect easy money from sweatshops (while destroying the environment), and all while they tell you (some random nobody in a 1st world country) that you're the problem.
A very shameful ideology, of punishing the innocent while rewarding the wicked.
Off-topic somewhat, and maybe deserving of its own thread, but another thing they (the reptilians) won't tell you is that whenever you hear misogyny or whining-and-complaining about women on the Internet, it almost always comes from prissy effeminate weak guys, most of them catty homosexuals, not normal straight guys.
ReplyDeleteThe same people obsess about strength, going to the gym, dominance, etc-- always a cope, and really a fixation for people who were regularly picked last in gym class, have internalized that sense of helplessness and weakness, and must now take steroids and destroy their lifespan instead of just moving on like a normal adult.
Weird, awkward, prissy / sissy men are at the bottom of the male barrel-- nobody wants to be like them, and they lose whenever they compete against other guys (for jobs, attention / popularity, women, etc)-- and so they naturally try to start arguments with women, a kind of last resort for them.
Another reason to avoid this stuff is that it turns out nobody is in it out of any interest in the fundamental problems the system has, the ones which might be worth examining from a neutral perspective in order to figure out what would be in the best interests of future generations.
ReplyDeleteLike de-urbanization, slashing worthless programs and bloated budgets, de-funding all kinds of useless make-work, figuring out how do things more efficiently (not the current LARP where we pretend to do so and then just find ways to waste even more money or fuck things up even harder), nuclear energy over fake & gay wind and solar, feeding the population a high-quality diet, or anything else that might go somewhere.
Nope, hell no-- and you will get laughed at if you try to bring that stuff up!
It turns out that, unfortunately and as usual, they're only interested in this stuff in order to use it as masturbation material: impotent losers need to constantly get off at the thought of getting revenge on all the people who hurt them in this cruel cruel unfair world (NEEEEERDSSSS!) or simply surpassed them in terms of satisfaction, adjustment, belonging, etc.
That's why they always imagine some coming apocalypse, they view it as a righteous settling of scores against the sinful masses of normies (for people who are too passive to blow up their schools or whatever).
It's also incredibly useful for them to rationalize their nihilistic complacency and passivity in the present: why bother doing anything when there's some event coming in 1 week / 1 month / 1 year which is of such magnitude that it renders all effort pointless?
It's the perfect excuse for some atomized loser who just wants a good rationale for his anti-social decision to give up on his own life and abandon his own society.
It's more like a prophetic message but instead of warning the normies and trying save the good and righteous or those humble enough to believe you, it's being delivered to all the weird misfits of the world:
ReplyDelete'You hate your own life at the moment-- what with all those evil normies and their vile habits and low IQ conformist ways-- but don't worry, don't kill yourself yet...
This one cosmic event is coming (different from all the other comic events which didn't take place) where all your enemies will suffer, the righteous will be rewarded, and this evil awful world will be replaced instead by a superior just paradise, where everyone will worship you like the special wonderful person you are (and not some weird gay misfit).'
Cope harder, LOL.
Some people fish, others paint, and some spend their entire lives masturbating at the thought of others suffering... one day I'm going to write a post talking about how the 2020s reflect the implosion of the whole Revenge of the Nerds thing.
From now on, and going forward, I'm just going to shrug off this slop about the coming apocalypse-- I'm not interested in hearing about it from someone that struggles with basic vanilla default existence in 2026.
ReplyDeletePeople who can't handle reality won't make it very far in an even harsher version of it-- somehow I can't imagine men-in-skirts, misfits in drag, and atomized drug addicts figuring prominently in the coming wars over resources.
They'll need soldiers and engineers for those things, not skinnyfat nerds and seething impotent masturbators who were picked last in gym class.
And of course, none of this is really about the apocalypse or societal breakdown-- it's all just a reflection of cowardice, laziness, and a refusal to face the facts in an honest way: it's just childish escapism, fleeing to a wonder-world where you won't feel so bad, but with some adult themes added to it to make it seem more mature. Sad!
ReplyDeleteThey feel impotent and powerless, but they won't act in such a way that would remove those feelings-- maybe because they're too anti-social, or too far gone, or whatever, and that leads them into endless bouts of cosplaying, substance abuse, and coming up with bizarre masturbatory fantasies to alleviate their feelings.
They're the last people you would turn to in the event of some sudden breakdown: copers whose entire lives boil down to a struggle to just make it through the day.
