If the leftists think that smashing technology is what they want, they should move to South America and see how long they can survive without their Iphones and modern tech.
I'd also point them toward South Africa, where the natives are destroying civilization, or maybe to Ukraine, where NATO is reducing a nation to 3rd world status. Or how about China, where they put the dissidents to work as slaves?
Everybody must see that the “progressives” want subject peoples to be stupid , poor and frightened ; much easier to control. That has been the purpose of the last 60 years of ruined education , destroyed religion , broken down families , constant conflict and bankrupted economies.
How many leftists detest Western civilization but still unblinkingly use its "goodies" or technologies? How many leftists complain but are wedded to the laptops, microphones, airline travel, refrigeration, and the many creature comforts all made possible through the scientific developments of the West?
As a teaser, my favorite is when they wear Nike apparel and use an iPhone, both of which are made with horrendous slave labor in SE Asia/China, and then start ranting about slavery in America 150 years ago
We can have a high-tech prison with Elon and the technocrats, or a Stone age one with Communistic globohomo. Either way, Western civilization is dead, humanity is screwed, and the jig is almost up.
Yeah. I was confused at first why Elon basically suddenly threw in with Trump. But clearly Elon did the math and realized that western civilization was going to collapse before he could get to Mars if things were allowed to continue as they were. And it’s well-known that hyperinflationary collapse is bad for business.
The techbros (Elon amongst them) want to flood us with turd worlders who can pretend to code, and to create a surveillance state to keep the workers in line.
I've been saying similar to Agenda 37, that come 2028 we'll either see a progressive banker globalist win or a progressive techbro globalist win. Both see us as nothing more than tax cattle and excess carbon.
The problem is that while Trump’s popularity shrinks the Democrats are falling even faster.
FDR and JFK would laugh at what passes for policy in their beloved Democratic Party. Although both were upper class they understood that victory for their party depended on working class voters. Current party leaders distain the “deplorable” and “racist” members of the working class.
A laundry list of things for Democrats to keep and to dump if they ever want to win again nationwide.
Keep a woman’s right to choose for the first trimester. Dump abortion until birth unless the mother’s health is at risk or the fetus is not viable.
Keep a concern for climate change and grow nuclear power. Dump intermittent, unreliable renewable energy that requires backup continuous generating capacity which is then used intermittently. A ridiculously expensive approach.
Keep and develop new effective vaccines. Dump vaccine mandates.
Keep equality of opportunity for all. Dump equity of results based on discriminating against men, whites and Asians in a futile attempt to compensate for past discrimination against women and blacks. Recognize that D.E.I. Is unconstitutional.
Keep the protection of gay and lesbian rights. Dump men in women’s sports, private spaces and prisons. Oh, and mutilating children who might grow up to be gay.
Keep an opportunity for selective high value immigration. Dump sanctuary cities and open borders.
Keep helping the homeless find jobs and a place to live. Dump camping in cities, shitting in the streets and allowing open drug use.
Keep a concern for due process in criminal justice. Dump letting shoplifters and other petty thieves off the hook and releasing predators back on the streets without bail to kill and maim again.
Do all of the above and they might find their way back to power.
FDR filled his administration with outright communists, and JFK rammed through the Hart-Cellar Immigration Act that has since destroyed much of America
It's a provocative work. I think it opens up a few conversations about technology and culture, reversing the most often witnessed destruction of culture by technology. What is the place of ancient cultural in the age of the electric car? Can we protect "arcadia" as you say or will the Tesla destroy it? Can we indeed have both? What are costs and benefits for each?
Without meaning to detract from the general thrust of the article, it seems that the Olmecs may not have been an illiterate civilization (and in fact may have been the ones who first invented writing in Mesoamerica): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olmec_hieroglyphs
Just FYI- a new American Homestead Act to lease Federal land to US citizens would help boost rural economies, allow families to own land and build a home, and increase family formation and birth rates. The USA has 600 million acres of Federal land, just 1% could dramatically improve the living situation of regular American adults, letting them have a family and a shot at the American dream.
I don't disagree, but very little of that land would allow for people to move to and get a job. It's still in federal hands for a reason: either it's desert, mountain, or a forest preserve. Not many jobs near any of those places.

Indeed. South Africa/Zimbabwe/the Congo are to where their policies always lead

This is some of it
They also just hate beauty and greatness
All politics is biological, and as bioleninists they hate the idea that others might look toward the heavens rather than remain rooted in the favela
Pennies must have bought a lot more food back during the Space Race. Mmmmhmmmm.
lol

Unless there was a third option...
Elon wants to go to Mars, not creat a global prison

I’ll choose the first option. At least we will have running water.
Same here
