I hate the term metacrisis, but truth is we have one.

Quote from: K-Dog on Feb 10, 2024, 12:15 PMWWII rationing is not going to fly in collapse.  People can't be expected to sacrifice if they are getting nothing for it, war will give nothing, and we all will sacrificing by the time resource war time comes.  We won't need a poster because that will be life.

The whole idea of resource wars was stupid.  For there to be a war there have to be resources to get.  The big brains never stopped to figure that part out.  They all knee-jerked right past it.

What they would get out of a war is fewer Useless Eaters to have to share the food with.  If war cuts the global population down from 8B to 8M, there will be plenty of arable farmland left for the survivors, as long as it hasn't been poisoned with nukes.  The people who start the war just need to believe they will be one of the survivors.

Quote from: K-Dog on Feb 09, 2024, 08:50 PMI confess I once thought he was smart.  Nobody is perfect.  In March 2017, Weinstein wrote a letter to Evergreen faculty (100 miles away) in which he objected to a suggestion pertaining to the college's decades-old tradition of observing a "Day of Absence", during which ethnic minority students and faculty would voluntarily stay away from campus to highlight their contributions to the college.  He was a 'victim' and it all made sense at the time.  Then as time goes by I realize he sniffs out controversy and that I was duped.

Earlier today I tried to snag the the Putin/Tucker Carlson Interview.  Putin tried to make it clear that the Donbas is Russian.  Like the people living there.  Duh!

War is going to be a hard sell when store shelves are empty.  War sells when there is a chance for, something, not nothing.  The Democratic Party support of Israel and Ukraine could cook their goose in the next election.  War has not been giving the returns it used to.

* So according to Brett the Chinese aborted female fetuses to have more soldiers to send up at us through South America.  It was in the plan.  If you believe that, send Brett money.  You are a true disciple.

New Information.







I'm reading the BBC:

QuoteOf migrants from outside the Americas, the greatest increase comes from China. More than 37,000 Chinese nationals were detained at the US-Mexico border last year, about 50 times the figure from two years ago.

So taking this tidbit with what Brett Weinstein said, somebody in China who can legally move between Central America and China has set up a mom and pop business of enabling people who sign up for his service to travel the 'route'.  A route carefully selected to provide the business the most profit.  A real life board game.



Sign up for the service and travel legally to South America.  Go north and get over the Darién Gap and you can stay in the hostel for two days.  New clothes and a full backpack with socks and underwear will be waiting for you there.  A Chinese Coyote will finance your trip.  A prepaid card with a number you memorize and throw away.  Memorize the rest stops where you can use the number.

Which Brett Weinstein suggests is an attack by the Chinese Government rivaling an invasion by Attila the Hun.

What all this means is that eating out at a Chinese Restaurant will become the only Dine Out experience Americans will be able to afford.

Actually, anyone who wants to immigrate from Asia, Africa or Europe goes to SA first because it's EZ to get a tourist visa to many of the countries down there.  They can pick up money along the way after that at any Western Union office (at Walmart and many convenience stores) as long as they have somebody in China to send money via wire transfer to that location.   That's also how they send money back home once they start making some.

The only problem here is they have to get from SA to Canada to cross the border legally into the FSaA, which means they have to do TWO illegal crossings first, unless they have a tourist visa for Canada.  If they have one of those, they can just fly straight to Canada before crossing into the FSoA and avoid SA completely.

To get from Mexico to Canada, they have to cross the border down there into the FSoA illegally, then take buses to upstate NY or Maine and cross illegally into Canada, then finally cross back into the FSoA legally and be processed by INS there claiming political asylum.

The only purpose I can see in this is that if you cross the border from Canada, you avoid the refugee camps down in TX and there's much less waiting time for processing by INS.  It takes more money and adds some risk due to the 2 illegal border crossings you have to do first.

The whole "Chinese Invasion" nonsense by Fucker Carlson & Brett Weinstein is typical fear mongering about the ChiCom Yellow Menace that Right Wing xenophobes have been spouting for time immemorial, going back to Joe McCarthy and further.  It's totally laughable, but it sells to the same Red menace phobia that has worked for generations.  Same old playbook there.

Fucker sells that because its mostly single men from China instead of families from SA it must be a covert military invasion. Utter nonsense.  It's mostly single young men because that's what China has too many of after years of the 1 child policy.  Girl babies were aborted in favor of waiting for a male.  Males who have been successful enough in China to get a wife and have a family aren't leaving.  It's the bachelors who dream of marrying an Amerikan female and getting a green card that are leaving.

Quote from: K-Dog on Feb 14, 2024, 11:02 PMWhat would they do with an American female?

The fantasy I imagine is that they would live in a nice suburban McMansion and drive an SUV to work and take vacations in Hawaii.  Basically the images they have seen in Amerikan TV shows and movies.  Reality has nothing to do with their dreams and aspirations.

They have to know American women are expensive.  Flying under the radar making twenty bucks an hour is not going to get anything going with a woman long term here, and the time between any short term satisfactions will be quite a while.  They are not coming here because they are horny.  They just want a better life than what they have.   

RE

They don't dream of marriage due to horniness.  It's the GREEN CARD that comes with the marriage certificate.
