Quote from: K-Dog on May 17, 2024, 10:32 AMThe video is the most clear-headed video saying where things are going.
It is time for concerned citizens to meet up.

That was a quite reasonable, non psycho babble video, making a reasonable point. The presenter had valid points and data (without fact checking it anyway), didn't do the "pull my finger" trick with peak oil or other claims of it being Planet X's fault or whatever the equivalent is nowadays. He did seem to want to assign all consequences to his ideas, and all hope to his solution, and that is always suspect as single problems and single solutions are rarely true.

But his argument was well thought out and reasonable. And I'm not sure it creates doomers more than it might socialists or communists, casting about as it does to dispense with capitalism without discussing the other systems available. The socialists in Europe seem to be doing okay generally speaking, and socialism still allow for richer folks without having the consequences America does as to what to do with the poorer folks.

All of this unfoldindg will certainly be fun to watch, as Social Security continues to devour the federal budget, and interest payments, and the fate of Greece nears, and I'm glad the presenter didn't discredit the entire claim by doing the usual running out of this, running out of that, or some MAGA squealing about migrants or conspiracy praddle that seems to be involved in most of these "shit is bad, will probably get worse and gots to change".
