Personally, I think our low readership numbers have little to do with politics and much more to do with the fact Forums have gone out of style, in favor of the short attention span text of Social Media and no text at all video.  We're also more difficult to find nowadays as Google's search engine prioritizes for pay websites that pay a fee for placement.  In fact the whole newz oriented web has become almost entirely subscription paywall, most of the time I  see only headlines and what I can read briefly before the link flips to a subscription sign up offer.

Anyhow, regardless of readership numbers or interest, the Diner mission remains the same, which is to track and record the progress of the collapse of industrial civilization.  The fact is that collapse has now moved into a heavily politically driven phase as the world realigns itself to operate in the new reality of resource scarcity and the consequential resource wars.  The battlegrounds in Ukraine, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Taiwan et al are all quite clear and mapped out, along with the domestic advancement of the Police State, deportations and blaatant racism.  It would be just plain dumb to be hashing over Peak Oil when the rest of this shit is quite obviously the more clear and present danger.

If you wanna discuss Peak Oil, I suggest finding another website concerned with that.  Here now, the rampant spread of fascist imperialism is the topic of greatest concern.  Peak Oil is yesterday's newz.
