If anyone tells you that they can explain all of the craziness of the world in a single theory be skeptical. The world is complex and many factors drive history.
I do think there is one vector of pressure that we don't talk about directly very often that is playing a role in a lot of political edginess. From nativism, to the rightward swing of the UK and US the silent actor is climate change.
Because at this point wealthy people know that it is real and I think some of them are panicking.

Their panic takes two forms, one more apocalyptic than the other.
The first is the sobering realization that if there were wider public awareness of climate change it would mean that people would expect their governments to "do something" and this would disrupt a balance of power that is currently working for them.
The more extreme version of this panic is a kind of bunker mentality.
There will be more refugees in the future, not fewer. Food prices will be higher.

Some people find this terrifying. Their first thought is: close the borders! invade greenland!
And to some degree I think the wider public is becoming more aware, it won't help when they realize that they have been tricked that the seriousness of the problem has been hidden from them and downplayed.
In the UK our giovernment surely knows this, and the best they got is:
"Look at the immigrants in the expensive hotels, if it wasn't for them we would be able to make everyones lives better and deal with problems, it's all their fault!"
When it's our government who refuse to process the people and them who chose the hotel, and them who are not doing their job properly --
And the most hilariously unfunny thing is, supposedly intelligent people are falling for this simple ruse!
I think we can do this.
I'm not scared of climate change. I'm scared for biodiversity and I'm scared of the short-sighted frightened men in power and how their fear could lead to catastrophic suffering.
But humans are gonna thrive if we can get them out of the way and simply focus on the problem.

We know the super rich are worried, they straight up asked a tech futurist about their bunker plans.
theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/…
Or from "we're not in this together: There is no universal politics of climate change "
"Tillerson and those he works with are not in some kind of shadowy conspiracy. The Rex Tillersons of the world have taken a look at the same data, the same trends, the same underlying social and political conditions, and they have noticed that in the probable world in which nothing changes for them, business-as-usual, they end up on the “winning” side of a sharp global and local dividing line. Every structural incentive serves to reinforce such thinking. The best outcome in such a position is to push on with business-as-usual; the costs of climate change will largely be borne by those who already bear the cost today. Indeed, as I will argue, that other people will be bearing those costs helps keep the system going as long as possible and makes the Rex Position of maximal extraction for maximal maintenance, or cashing out, that much better. Even modestly successful climate mitigation and adaptation for the vast majority of people would require socioeconomic and political changes that would pose a steep loss to the Rex Position.

The Trump administration makes so much more sense as a smash and grab trying to steal many resource for the super rich as they can, while letting the ordinary people die.

The super-rich ‘preppers’ planning to save themselves from the apocalypse
Tech billionaires are buying up luxurious bunkers to survive a societal collapse they helped create, but like everything they do, it has unintended consequencesDouglas Rushkoff (The Guardian)
Disaster preppers are unaware of just how miserable it would be to be stuck in a bunker with nobody but them.
I really Douglas Rushkoff had interviewed the guy with embassy security experience more.
In the article he mentions that after talking to the billionaires panicking about how to maintain control over their guards, a guy with real world security experience approached him and shared his plans for responding to "the event".
"He felt certain that the “event” – a grey swan, or predictable catastrophe triggered by our enemies, Mother Nature, or just by accident –was inevitable. He had done a Swot analysis – strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats – and concluded that preparing for calamity required us to take the very same measures as trying to prevent one. “By coincidence,” he explained, “I am setting up a series of safe haven farms in the NYC area. These are designed to best handle an ‘event’ and also benefit society as semi-organic farms. Both within three hours’ drive from the city – close enough to get there when it happens.”"
I feel like "preparing for calamity required us to take the very same measures as trying to prevent one" is an excellent insight.
@alienghic
My thought reading that article was that "safe haven farms" are also not actual prepardness for disasters.
Where does he imagine he would be getting fertilizer from?
How does he imagine he would survive a hurricane running over them?
Who is running the hospital that does not exist on them?
And so on.
Forcing him to confront that might have made him realize "preparing for calamity required us to take the very same measures as trying to prevent one" actually means.
There is no wonderful modern way of life with microwave food and movies on demand without millions and millions of people.

I have on occasion tried to work out the material conditions different sized groups of people would be able to sustain in different conditions.
Sometimes some tens of thousands of people might not do too badly.
But that is "chocolate is a once a year luxury".
I remember this from 1970s-idealism space colonization. Something like 50,000 is the functional minimum — in a situation where you've stacked everything in favor as best you can (technology, resources, automation, good governance). After a disaster? So much more.
Surviving almost anywhere in space is much more difficult than surviving anywhere on Earth's surface; even after the worst possible climate change.
Either way, "live together, die alone".
I was imagining something of a Silo scenario. But otherwise, yes, of course. Still, I think 50,000 is a pretty optimistic estimate.
And the same for coffee and tea.
I’d like to think that there might be positives. Like more brewing, baking nice bread, making interesting pickles, and finally seeing the end of tech bros and social media influencers as a ‘career path’.
On the other hand I really don’t want to live in a world without good sanitation and plentiful toilet paper.
@michael_w_busch @helvick @alienghic
There's an interesting Corey Doctorow story exploring these themes... It's the fourth story in the "Radicalized' short stories. The other stories include one which predicted Luigi; another subscription bread; the other predicting America's response to pushback against blatant racism. The fourth is about the two paths you are discussing here: the billionaire bunker, vs. the "community works together". I highly recommend borrowing it from the library.
ps. There are many solutions to toilet paper, went down that though path a long time ago. Natural materials being the most familiar to those in the backcountry (grass, leaves, etc.). Our recent ancestors used scrap of old fabric, which they (urp) washed and re-used (gross--and sanitation is definitely an issue-- but we still do that with cloth diapers, which are way more eco-friendly than the plastic most of us use. This is probably why our ancestors were happy to have bleach around LOL).
@ai6yr @michael_w_busch @alienghic
We did the cloth diaper thing with our first daughter back in the day. Bleach definitely becomes a key resource. It wasn’t a bad option but we did find it was more work, and time. Convenience won out with child #2.
Choosing to do that was fine, but it’s a really hard pill to swallow when it’s ‘you must do x’ instead of ‘you can choose to do x if you like’. I imagine the post-apocalyptic teen rebellion stuff will be pretty intense.

strongly agreed. I believe the #1 task for climate mitigation is “make sure fascists aren’t in power when the refugee population is reaching 10-100x current levels”. Which feels ridiculous since it isn’t directly climate related at all, but I think the alternative is almost too horrific to imagine.
I suspect one good path to achieving that is solving other problems: e.g. fix the housing crisis -> greatly reduced anger for fascists to exploit *and* better prepped for new neighbors.

The military occupation of D C. is being justified as a "CRIME EMERGENCY" "Public Safety Surge." And the deployment of troops inside the US is being justified as due to an "invasion" "emergency."
In his important book "On Tyranny," historian of fascism Timothy Snyder wrote: "Be alert... to the fatal notions of *emergency* and *exception*... The most intelligent of the Nazis, the legal theorist Karl Schmidt, explained in clear language the essence of fascist governance. The way to destroy all rules, he explained, was to focus on the idea of the *exception*. A Nazi leader outmaneuvers his opponents by manufacturing a general conviction that the present moment is exceptional, and then transforming that state of exception into a permanent emergency. Citizens then trade real freedom for fake safety."
There is not a crime emergency in DC. Each of the states sending National Guard troops to DC has cities with higher crime rates than DC, according to the FBI. This, like the deployment on L.A, is just one more stepping stone to complete military occupation of our cities, because as someone else wrote, fascism is colonialism turned inwards.

🇺🇸 “We need at least 2 guns for each American because imagine if the government threatened you, you gotta defend yourself.”
Government is threatening people, meanwhile people with the guns: “YEAH MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”

Take an example from the Netherlands:
Guns / weapons are forbidden here, with very good reasons, we have about 2 bikes per Dutch
So if something happens, we just bike away! 🚲
But yeah, start with removing weapons from the streets, we’ll talk again after that
One of the main reason to allow citizens to have weapons is to improve civil defence in case of invasion. During WWII Netherlands was able to defend themselves just for 4 days so I don’t think that we should follow your ideas.
With conservatives, it’s more justifications than reasons. Every time.
When you start from who should have the power, the what comes second.

NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government — The Shovel
An embarrassed National Rifle Association says it totally forgot to do the one thing it has been saying for years it is solely there to do.The Shovel
What happened to Love thy Neighbour and Screw his Wife ???😃😃😃
What they actually wanted to say: We Nazis need guns at home, because if the government turns a bit to the left, we can shoot JFK.
Funny enough, they always claimed the Nazis disarmed their people, but they were wrong. The Nazis armed their supporters.
The federal government has invaded several US cities.
Where are all the "defense against tyranny" Second Amendment types with their guns?!?
Oh, yeah, I forgot that the 2nd Amendment fetishists were never about the protection of America.
It was always about preserving white supremacy.

Intercepted Podcast: White Supremacy and the Church of the Second Amendment
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz argues that the Second Amendment should be repealed. Novelist Mat Johnson talks about guns, the NFL, “Black Panther,” and growing up biracial.Intercepted (The Intercept)
These are the people that told us the Democrats were planning martial law, building "FEMA camps", planning to overthrow the govt. Now it's here, actually here, all of it. And where are they? Cheering from the sidelines.
Alex Jones - Mr posse comitatus himself is falling over his own feet trying to justify the occupation of DC by the military.
When we Americans hit a national constraint, heat, food, or energy, it will get loud and slippery over here. The smell will get truly remarkable after the bloating and decay sets in. We’ll coin the word American Standoff to describe the huge piles of dead citizens. Just a matter of time now. Life is a nightmare.
Teehee™️
The US government is now literally doing the things these second amendment people were always screaming about, but they haven't taken up arms against any of them of course. And no small part of that is because they only ever said that because they just wanted an excuse to shoot their neighbors (not the government.)
They can see their own hypocrisy surely. They must. They just don't care...
As some correctly point out, if you go far enough to the left, you get your guns back.
I’m not happy with the state of things, either, but I also love my e-bike.
The government there has cleverly banned all the weapons useful for overthrowing a government and left only those useful for murdering your uppity neighbours.
If they really believed in the Second Amendment you'd be able to buy Stinger and NLAW off the shelf, and police helicopters would have a much shorter service life.

I finally acquired a new traffic cone for the donkeys and presented it to them.
They fled in horror.
The human has introduced a new thing! It might be pure evil!

They’ve decided it *might* be safe to stand in the same room as the traffic cone, just to get out of the hot sun.
But they’re not very happy about it.

@kimlockhartga omg Kim, that’s really sweet of you.
I think donkeys (ours at least) like something they can grab in their mouth the best. Even if it’s a little hard to pick up. They have a “dodonkahedron” toy but they never play with it any more because they can’t grab it.

To recap
Israeli scholars at Harvard report Israeli has killed at least 377K Palestinians.
Israeli military memos report at least 83% of Palestinians killed are civilians.
Israeli military memos report 0 evidence of Hamas stealing aid.
Israeli hostage negotiators report it is Netanyahu—not Hamas—blocking a hostage deal.
And now a UN report confirms that Gaza is suffering famine.
This. Is. Genocide.
May every complicit politician, pundit, & corporation face the accountability they deserve.

It awful and horrible but 200k of that 377k number seem to be from a typo.
"There are enough horrible things happening in Gaza that this kind of echo chamber amplification of a typo doesn't help anyone.” -Yaakov Garb, author of the study
Did a ‘Harvard report’ reveal 377,000 Gazans are ‘missing’? The number has been misinterpreted
Are 377,000 people “missing” in Gaza? This number has been shared by many internet users and media, who claim to be relying on a “Harvard report”.The FRANCE 24 Observers (FRANCE 24)
Get rid of the billionaires and we get rid of the crimes against humanity.
What did Hamas think was going happen anyway? They started this, but why?

The UN needs to be DISSOLVED in its entirety!!!
The UN Has done absolutely Nothing to stop the full on Genocide in Gaza so what are they there for?
It's absolutely HORRIFIC what's happening in Gaza, but posts like this that involve 'statistics', MUST be accompanied by sources. Without sources, claims such as the ones made here, are nothing more than exactly that: claims.
Social media are full of unsubstantiated claims, and even well-intentioned posts, such as this one, risk muddying the waters instead of clearing them.
Help stop the spread of misinformation, post facts.
