The elites exist with a feudal mindset. They have their own serfs and soldiers and the rest of the peasants can die without much thought. Between automation and technological advancements, you don’t need 10000 serfs farming and building for you anymore. One competent farmer with a large tractor and combine can do the work it took 50 men to do decades prior. Robots do most of the grunt work for assembling things such as cars, CNC machines and 3d printers can generate much of what they need and for what they can’t, well there’s plenty of peasants to chose from to be your personal taint washer.
Eliminate the useless eaters “for the good of the planet”, keeping the elite around with personal armies of servants Is enough for them to continue on. The ones who resisted will be a small minority on their own without support(or underground networks of such if they can work together) and now have been easily identified and could be eliminated slowly before things go sour or after when their resources run thin.
They don’t consider millions of useless eaters to be essential to keep around and slaves. Just as many as they deem appropriate and hang the rest. And they’re not worried about lone wolf John Rambo types because most men simply aren’t. How many of you have actually camped in all four seasons, built your own shelter including in winter in an area where’s theres snow, built snares for hunting and grow your own food? Some, but not a lot. I’ve gotten to the point where with my everyday carry zippo and knife I could be dropped in any forest in North America and walk out whatever side we agreed upon, but i know I’m few and far between among my countrymen. I look forward to the lack of idiots in everyday interactions but honestly don’t like the look of everything else yet to come in the dark days ahead.
Ooooh good point.
I still say Eisenhower over Kennedy but that’s just cause I doubt his ability to keep his mouth shut while fucking a Russian spy.
Yeah, people love to ignore this. Video of the fall just gets memory holed. When the building top fell down onto the damaged section, the sections below THAT weren’t damaged. It should have had an impact, topple one way or another due to the asymmetrical nature of the piece falling and then fallen over like a toppled tree. Instead it fell straight down and didn’t slow a bit when it “hit” the floors below that were still “intact”.
Don’t understand the changing shoes thing. Come in, take your boots off, stay a while. Why the hell would you feel the need to put on different shoes to be indoors? Unless you’ve got dirt floors just go around in your socks!
Damn, great read. Passed this on to a few friends. Didn’t realize how bad the production was when the weather was bad. I knew it dropped by 76 MW out of a potential/expected 3005? Fuck me running that’s bad. No wonder they want all electric cars. “Sorry, the wind speeds during the storm were too high so we had to shut down the windmills and the storm was so bad the solar panels accomplished nothing, so your whole province didn’t have the power to charge everyone’s electric car last night.” That sounds like a bad sitcom episode not a viable future strategy.
Yeah I’ve seen those places but like the jab never gotten one lol. Irony at its finest.
Waiting for the NPC’s to just request getting their blood swapped out for booster juice at this point.
Agreed. Just wish we actually had the ability to vote for important things. Seems kinda handy in retrospect.
Most of us actively ignore the idiocy they spew but like you guys down south, voting them out doesn’t seem to be an option. I know my countrymen still have some with fighting spirit but they’re few and far between and a lot of idiots stand in our way. Imagine if California exploded and deposited lefties everywhere. That’s my everyday.
Evil is evil is evil.
While I would love to see a group of crayon eaters who just like a stock to make millions and be able to retire at 24 off GME, the cynic in me sees that the market watches over its own and isn’t about to simply hand its money over to people not in “the club”. The stock market doesn’t sell stocks, they sell manipulation and fuckery. There’s zero reason to suspect they won’t magic up a reason why the game stop stock holders end up getting screwed and left holding the bag.
Yeah exactly. Protecting you for the rest of your life when that only lasts a few months to a few years isn’t exactly what people were looking for.
How is it hubris for me to spitball about technical ability of aliens we have not yet officially encountered but not for you? You’re assuming they have perfect Star Trek shields capable of stopping everything and have every advantage under the sun, I’m proposing that even if they do, we don’t have to assume they put every single advancement they have on every craft they produce and use. If they have reached post scarcity society levels to the point where even a child’s bicycle has impenetrable shields, anti aircraft guns, heated seat, autopilot and a nuclear reactor, why even bother with us at all? Simply having the means to do so doesn’t mean doing so. We have stealth coatings and designs but not on every plane. We have nuclear reactors but not on every ship. We have CBN protection for tanks but not on every armoured vehicle. Hell they make a $300000 Lamborghini without power seats. We could make everything 100 time better but we find reasons not to. I’m not going to assume a perfect species makes every craft perfect with every technically advanced thing they could want, perfect shields that block everything we could think of and haven’t thought of yet, because that’s just silly. You can be an advanced space faring civilization without mastering every aspect of warfare. It’s not a prerequisite.
Perhaps use meatspin as it also contains an injection that most aren’t willing to take....
Bold or otherwise, assumptions are all we have at this point until we have the tech on the table before us and screwdrivers at the ready to take it to bits. Placing a fuse between every single component adds a level of complexity that quite frankly could have been ignored simply by not planning on needing it. If nuclear is as old tech to them as you say, then it’s plausible they have moved so far past it that they didn’t need even consider needing emp shielding at all. I haven’t met any of these aliens (at least to my knowledge) so while I am loath to ascribe human flaws and characteristics to them, I also am reluctant to give them perfection of thought, planning, and execution of all things. Assuming they have perfect tech, perfect shields, perfect cohesion between themselves, these are all just assumptions and we have no real reason to think this is true. Just because we have the technology to make something better, safer, more protected doesn’t mean we do. We’ve had dry sump oil systems for engines since the 1940’s and yet they’re not commonplace even in fields where they would be extremely beneficial. Our troops could have $300000 body armor but higher ups don’t justify the cost. For all we know their scout ships are built cheap and planned as disposable as are their crew so they might get the bare minimum needed and not all the bells and now whistles that they have achieved.
While their shielding may indeed protect against physical impact(and agreed it would need to) we have no reason to assume it protects against EMP. When your craft requires precise controls, and your shielding requires immense energy, having that disrupted by something you can’t shield against would be terrifying.
I had to upvote this on the grounds of the calvinball reference alone. I miss the days when scientific progress went BOINK!
Not only did my family have one of those big c band satellite dishes, we still have it. Having to program and set the channels, installing heat wrap onto the motor so it wouldn’t freeze up, best thing we ever did(well dad did) was spend like $600 and get a modem board and make a deal with a friend and at 6pm everyday it dialed up and downloaded the codes to unlock every channel. Ppv movies, movie channels, porn, every channel they had, without paying like 250 bucks a month for them. Others have already explained the geosynchronous orbit so I won’t. But it sure went he’ll wasn’t pointing at some cell tower back in 1986 in Manitoba. I also remember when the us military tried out a satellite killer and missed their defunct one and hit Telstar 2 I think it was. From 12-14 out of the 24 possible channels on it, to zero one day to the next, with all the channels being rebound to other open spots on other satellites after a short while, pain in the ass to find them again really. All the propaganda aside, American tv was WAY better than Canadian tv. The shows on Nick at night, Rawhide, stuff on USA network, swamp thing, tales from the crypt, that weird time offset TBS of 5 minutes so if you surfed the other channels and had seen stuff or weren’t interested you could check them last and not miss anything cause it was just starting.... yeah no comparison to the Canadian tv I saw at friends and family members houses.
Therein lies the real problem. Without true accountability, the FBI is free to do whatever it wants, redact and sit on whatever it wants.
I have some faith in your courts again after the rittenhouse trial verdict, but seen far too much fuckery to trust them completely. Plus the FBI seems to have its own rules in regards to, well, everything. Classify something as a matter of national security and it won’t be released. “Lose” it like hunters laptop, weiners laptop, epsteins files and hard drives etc. I would like to think the courts will do what’s right, but unless they barge into the FBI office with guns and warrants and root through all the files themselves to get all the files, I don’t trust the FBI to hand everything over, laws or no laws.
The articles explains the position quite well. My response to the “it’s just a mask it’s no big deal” has always been “it’s just getting on a boxcar it’s no big deal”. I’ve seen many a retard claiming they haven’t been sick at all since everyone was forced to wear masks. And yet Covid cases are reported everyday to keep the fear up, but how can that be if masks are so special and needed to keep it at bay? It couldn’t be everyone washing their hands more, excess hand sanitizer use, or people staying the hell away from each other or just staying home. Nope, gotta be their magic masks and plexiglass dividers at the stores. It’s like none of these cretins understands how industrial HVAC systems work. Who cares if your mouth is covered, your eyes aren’t, and you’re being bathed in recycled air for your 8 hour shift. If it wasn’t for friends and family who got suckered into taking the shot I’d say just let them all die.
Since the FBI does as it pleases anyways, what’s to ensure they release all the relevant information? They could release 3 pages of 3000, say there it all is, and ignore any pushback. Who’s supposed to be overseeing them?
It’s just to make sure you get on the right boxcar!
Not everyone but too many. Might make it easier in the end. 50 determined men could storm in and take off a lot of heads with no one in attendance doing more than shitting themselves before theirs hits the floor.
