If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I cannot believe this bitch! Obviously you shouldn't believe the bitch, but you know what I mean.

1) ... apocalyptic thinking over the centuries.... Maltusians .... the ridiculous but popular "Population Bomb"...etc. Malthus wan't wrong: exponential growth in population with linear growth in resources will lead to collapse. Sure, the "Green Revolution" staved off collapse, but it was heavily de...

Schellenberger is full of shit. I have read his "Apocalypse Never". It is a very good read. I guess you can just make a claim about his impacted bowels... but I find this less than informative. Let me put it this way. You can read some people's work knowing that the facts they use and the quotes th...

I'm listening to 'The Fourth Age', a YouTuber who comments-on the comic book industry. He says Marvel doesn't want to hire actual lifelong fans of Marvel comics... because those fans have knowledge-of and respect-for the decades of storytelling which came-before... so fans-turned-pro are an obstacl...

How endemic is globalist ideology in the media and corporate world? Is it a small number of multi-nationals and multi-billionaires directing the rest? Does that offer any hope or make the current order more intractable?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXGIt_Y57tc How typically lefty. Never pass up a good opportunity for a nasty diatribe.

Per my post #1760, I was discounting the explanatory power of “comorbidity’ - pointing out that metabolic dysfunction is baseline typical in the United States. As a country in the whole. Nobb is similarly interested in population level trends, though your criticism holds if you apply such trends to...

The lunatics who run California just banned my tractor, atv, log splitter, paint sprayer, pressure washer, generator, and all my chainsaws. I don't own a lawn mower, weed whacker or leaf blower, but those are banned, too. All must now be replaced with electric versions. In a state that can't keep t...

In the UK there has been 60 years of such people being written off as bigots by enlightened elites, as the bigots fears gradually materialised. For 60 years ordinary people who have expressed ordinary worries have been successfully dismissed as ghastly racists who should be denied the oxygen of pub...

"Late last night I watched Ben Shapiro debate Ana Kasparian at a Chamber of Commerce event. It was toothless fare, for an out-of-touch geriatric audience. Last year, the Chamber of Commerce joined forces with their supposed AFL-CIO union opponents-- in a conspiracy to deny Trump a fair election, ac...

Is this getting any exposure? Unless there's some missing info here it's a disgusting lapse in oversight. Your CDC is expending an awful lot of effort forcing people to get a vaccine they can't even take the time to ensure is administered properly. Turns out the heart complications from the vaccine ...

that requires vulnerable non-immune hosts to get infected. If you achieve a high vaccination rate the virus can't do that So... the covid vaccines won't work unless you vaccinate every person living in a third-world shithole & every bat in a wuhan cave. I don't understand this, maybe through ignora...

Perhaps I didn't understand what Brive was getting at. The far right antis can be construed as Marxist?

Sometimes I think “Marxism” is shorthand for any pseudo intellectual internal movement dreaming of the overthrow of traditional western power structures. The use of the sacred blood of the have-nots is old hat, while the specifics of the replacement solution is sketchy at best. Engagement requires ...

Not sure if anyone has stated the obvious suspicion about vaccine requirements in the public sector yet. Occurs to me that there is an objective here that I am not sure is secondary or primary, which is to purge the non-conformists from the public sector. Think of the benefits if you want to consoli...

The problem of course is that the argument isn’t over detail. Detail is the smoke thrown down to cover broad brush stroke causal narratives. From the ‘right’. The ? Left ? is simply pointing out a new virus that shouldn’t be left to smoke thru societies per Italy et al. The counter POV isn’t simply...

Psychologist Mattias Desmet thinks we are in the grip of something called mass formation where a big chunk of the population become fixated on one threat to the exclusion of all others. It's why you cannot get people to recognise the damage done by the Corona hysteria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Have to apologise for trying to defend Walensky. She's now officially a partisan political hack. Guns are a danger to public health and must be addressed. The cynics conjectured that the emasculation of the law was part of a plan to increase the murder rate with the end goal of suddenly noticing it,...

Fafnir is excellent on this page... But if i lived in South Africa... I'd also be warmer to 3FJ's point of view. I doubt that the 'more politics' John recommends = 'more South African politics'.

I had referred to Carson's "Silent Spring" earlier today and I see that her article in Wikipedia - "The People's Encyclopedia (tm)" ;) - referred to just that phenomenon: Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation, and public officials of accepting the industry's marketing cla...

That's the whole question though. Coming up with a plan that we need to have apolitical experts that we all agree on who make rational judgements for the common good is pointless. That's like saying that the solution to politics is to have politicians who govern and make laws motivated by the commo...

This is better. Well it's clearer anyway. Every media talking head as well as all my friends keep saying "It is too bad the response to the virus has gotten political." In my way of seeing things, the only proper response must be political. The response has to be political because we are governed b...

You are missing the point. The 2008 crisis is a case in point. People did foresee it but nobody was interested because they were either making big profits or buying flash houses they couldn't normally afford. It isn't just about economic consequences. Industries can develop and operate in ways that...

I'm not actually proposing anything. I am saying that free markets are blind. The free market doesn't exist. There is only people. If people care than the aggregate behaviour of people we call a market cares. They are just the best known means of supplying demand relatively efficiently. They are co...

Oh, and since no one here has mentioned it, Biden has authorized a deferred prosecution for the Meng Wazhou person. And strangely enough, the completely unrelated arrests and imprisonments of two Canadians for nearly three years just happened to end up with them being placed on a plane headed for C...

The man could be right about this. They're scared of the Western working and middle classes with their enlightenment principles and expectations of a decent life in return for hard work and taxes. That's why they're being demonised and replaced. It might be less about racial change than about swappi...

I share Serpent's frustration. China is engaged in an unprecedented military expansion and the Western democracies are more afraid of being xenophobic or warmongering than they are of being crushed by China. The China apologists in Australia are out cautioning against angering China. The Chinese are...

THIS GUY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZEgFbPYNoM VDH's dry droning puts some people off, but I find him to be the embodiment of an informed, calm and reasoned appraiser of the times. He's well enough read to put everything in an historical context and he's quite down to earth being a farmer as...

Since we are discussing Pyt spats, anyone seen the Bear about? He used to post around as Abear. The Viva Sidebar with Southern reminded me about him since he seemed to have a bit of a vendetta there. Never knew whether he was just particularly one-eyed or a troll. He had a habit of doing this rather...

Great for whipping newly-arrived Haitian slaves, too!

Which also turns out to be the only way of getting Kamala interested in the border crisis.

But just see if you can extract some value in the mortality front. And be proportional. We’re not being asked to go over the top at the Somme. We’re being asked to keep-to-ourselves until the inarguably safe (per normal epidemiological standards) vaccine is widely deployed. What a horror. It’s not ...

If the there really is a significant problem with adverse vaccine effects then one would have to assume that it is being seen worldwide. Going to be tough to make a convincing case.

A bit high on emotion. Interesting nonetheless. It is a common complaint I've seen, that vaccine effects are not being properly reported. Will be waiting for more health pros to come forward, or not. Not easy to discern whether lack of published corroboration would be from the general climate of int...

https://i.imgur.com/W5tT6gr.png Yes yes. Population has grown. There's always an absolute vs proportional choice of metrics. Still. No wonder it's important to deny the scale of COVID. What percentage the world's population were active or secondary participant's in each of those wars? 450 thousand ...

I'm open to criticism & hope it will correct & improve my understanding. But some criticisms of me are simply, proveably Not Accurate. I have offered support for you before and I am doing it again. I am at a loss as to the adamant vitriol that is directed your way at points. I have been reading her...

Yep, I tried pointing this out to various individuals. Last example was in response to a line Cathy Young made : I don’t want to validate far-right claims that the failures and biases of the “MSM” justify treating Alex Jones, swollen testicle expert Nikki Minaj, ivermectin-peddling YouTubers, or 20...

Got clot-shotted at the Jabatoir this morning. So far I haven’t died. It seems to me that Govt lack of subtlety, a shitty 🇨🇳 sourced problem, a shitty but necessary 💉 solution and an unavoidable but depressing degrading of rights - due to change of circumstance - can all coexist.

Has Tim Pool developed a brain tumour? There's a noticeable tendency toward bad-temperedness and intolerance of any kind of expediency. Apparently you should kill your kids ambitions to make a point about vaccine mandates.

Bill Clinton must be chuckling now, saying, 'all ahh did wuz blow up an aspirin factory.' Not JUST that - he was POTUS when the Chinese embassy in Belgrade was bombed. More precisely, the Military Attache's office in the Chinese embassy, which was strangely well populated in the middle of the night...

I didn't realise that the values of a political administration were required to serve in the military outside of dictatorships. They aren't.

‘Chairman Dan’ is a ChiCom lover. He unilaterally signed Victoria onto the ‘Belt and Road’ program, forcing the Federal Government to nix the deal. Interesting times for Chicom lovers.

Let us assume — for the sake of argument — that ivermectin does a great job in curing you if you contract covid.

At the same time as all that is going on, you have people who didn't work before refusing to work because "it isn't safe yet". By constantly kicking the can down the road of when we are going to go back to normal, we are allowing them to do that. By doing so, we are killing small businesses. Are th...
