  1.  @osmanbey8796  - My friend sent me a picture of her breakfast - it was in a plastic tray, it had been delivered to her house. She lives in a pretty rural part of Utah... NO ONE should be getting their breakfast delivered in single-use plastic by a guy in a car burning petrol for dozens of miles... It simply never occurred to her, that is how they live.

  2. If you read Karl Marx you realise 2 things. 1) how idiotic capitalism is, it can never work, it is self-cannibalising just like it has got to in the USA today 2) why everyone demonises Karl Marx, you simply can NOT allow Marx to be widely read in a capitalist society or people will immediately stop believing in the system. Capitalism is kept alive by lies in the form of propaganda. Its so strong you genuinely believe it until the total stupidity of it is made clear to you. 150 years ago he predicted that everything would be worthless and manufactured in the cheapest country on earth. That rent and housing prices would go sky high cos there would no longer be any money in making things so the rich would buy all the housing to make money off that. That women would be forced to work in order for a family to afford housing and they would be sold this as "equality". Just a few examples.

  3. My sister was a soil specialist for the World Bank - she left about 14 years ago cos no one listened to anything she ever said.

  4. Jees - China has books of building regulations for high rise buildings that are older than Western civilisation its self.  @lolcatjunior

  5. I live in Bulgaria - yesterday I had an avert for a $10,000 drone that can carry a 15kg payload for 10 hours, its controlled via satellite [presumably starlink]. That means I could load it with bombs, fly it to Ukraine, bomb a tank and fly it home again called a "YANGDA Sky Whale Max Hybrid Heavy Lift Long Endurance VTOL Drone" The point I am making is - the whole shape of war has changed. Me a random guy with $10k can secretly take part in a war in another country. That is crazy.

  6.  @daemonace5910  - Well it doesn't work in theory OR practice. It relies on infinite growth in a finite world. It has to DOUBLE the size of the economy every 22 to 27 years. Its a total fantasy and it has to collapse on a finite planet. As it is doing in the USA.

  7. Americans live on an endless diet of propaganda telling them to consume - 70% of the GDP is consumer spending. As a European its just gross to me.

  8.  @SugarWeasel1227  - And YOU are losing - America is collapsing. Not theoretically in the future - RIGHT NOW. This is the list of contributing factors to societal collapse: Plague / disease Y Environmental change Y Massive wealth inequality Y Loss of the administrative class Y The government stops governing Y Attack from the outside - now includes cyber attack Y Loss of faith in the political system Y Economic collapse Y Exposed obvious corruption Y Crumbling infrastructure Y Mismanagement of a crisis Y Societal division Y Loss of belief in the unity of the society Y Restriction of international trade / loss of trade agreements Y Increased isolationism Y Rising internal violence Y Excessive spending on military / arms race Y Inability to maintain the currency - hoarding / devaluation / hyper inflation Y If a majority of things on the list happen to a civilisation simultaneously, it is invariably the end for that civilisation. If all happen at the same time, it's guaranteed to be the end. The USSR collapsed with 9 out of the 18. The USA scores 18/18. You are correct - its a ZERO SUM GAME and you just scored a big fat ZERO for future. If you want to know what your future will be in the next 10 years, look at Yugoslavia 1992 - only with WAY more guns. BTW - I'm an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations. This is my job. Be smug all you want, but you are doomed. You have reached a point called "cascading systems failure" its the end and it can't be stopped... sorry and goodbye.

  9.  @ColinTherac117  " Free people owning their own property is the core of Democracy" no its not, America is a failing democracy, internationally downgraded. Yet its "free" and everyone owns stuff". What a completely nonsensical thing to say. You are just churning out the propaganda you have been fed. There is NO critique of Marx in there at all. You are a total victim of point No2. There ARE critiques and criticisms of Marx to be made - but you have not made any. "their human right to their own property" NO ONE HAS a human right to own property, that is NOT a "human right" in any of the charters. Please dont reply, I dont wish to spend my day debunking American propaganda./

  14.  @mikolowiskamikolowiska4993  HAVE YOU GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO at Christmas than insult people on YouTube comments??? MY GOD how desperately sad is your life?? Go for a walk, be nice to someone, donate a dollar to a homeless charity or an animal shelter. But for the literal love of GOD do something better than be nasty to strangers you dont know on the internet on Christmas day/eve

  15.  @hk2336  - It has already been done and the guy has done an AMAZING job of it. Its called "fall of civilisations" the channel. He starts at the Bronze Age Collapse- still my favourite LOL - and goes through pretty much every collapse. His channel was a big source of information me.It si is truly excelent.

  17.  @TPM188  YES I am 100% ok with them confiscating land off large corporations and land owners and building cities on it - why???

  18.  @voidvector  You are correct - they have far better property rights than the US. They buy the house and they own it - NO property taxes nothing and it can never be taken off them excepting a mortgage default

  20. Ive been telling Americans this for years. Its really hard to fight a battle if you cant go outside cos there is a swarm of 10,000 drones that can recognise your face or your uniform nd kill you. AND NOW - I live in Bulgaria - yesterday I had an avert for a $10,000 drone that can carry a 15kg payload for 10 hours, its controlled via satellite [presumably starlink]. That means I could load it with bombs, fly it to Ukraine, bomb a tank and fly it home again called a "YANGDA Sky Whale Max Hybrid Heavy Lift Long Endurance VTOL Drone" I know the Ukranians are flying small drones into the engines of helicopters as they go over, the is why so many helicopters are crashing. The point I am making is - the whole shape of war has changed. Me a random guy with $10k can secretly take part in a war in another country. That is crazy.

  23.  @sharpshotjoe_  How do you jam electronics of tiny drones flying over your own vehicles and equipment when you are flying miles above the lot of them???

  24.  @alissonfrts  that's the way the world is going though, isn't it? Vast numbers are very low, cost, drones and rockets.

  26. This is why the UK should just subcontract EVERYTHING to China. Just admit we cant do it and pay the Chinese - £20 billion and HS2 would have been running 5 years ago. Like the housing crisis we cant fix cos we have no builders - just give the specifications to China and let them ship us pre fabricated houses we can put up in a day with unskilled labour and then we clad them in the appropriate brick or stone for the area. Swallow the pride and lets just get things DONE. They could build pre fabricated schools for 1/5th the cost of a brick built school - flat pack on a ship, stop pretending we can still do stuff.

  27. YEAH its strange how the world moved AWAY from decentralised unregulated finance over 250 year to centralised regulated cos people get getting wiped out

  32.  @bell-xk5dd  This is like Bulgaria where I live at the moment. If you are homeless its likely a bureaucratic issue. You are in a town and you didnt register so you are not entitled to housing in that town and you cant afford to get to the town you ARE registered in or your documents are out of date. Its very easy here to fall into a doom loop of documents being invalid - On Monday the post office refused to give my a package with my bank card in it cos they said my driving licence picture didn't look like me, if that was my new passports id be screwed...!!!

  33. @IamtheMan1111 We cant accept in the West that you might plan 5 or 10 years ahead and build things you have intentions for in the future. They are building the foundations and infrastructure for their first fusion reactors - they dont HAVE fusion reactors but they expect to and know 100% they will need foundations and infrastructure and starting when you have cracked the technology delays the roll out by 5 to 10 years... They do things differently, and the west thinks its clever when it laughs at them...

  39.  @jsoftwareect  - yeah - well population growth is a 20th century thing that will have to stop. Its that simple. Steady-state populations and economies are needed. Growth can no longer be sustained.

  40.  @jsoftwareect  - We CANT sustain the current population. We are at 130% the capacity of the earth to support human life. ALL models of human population show it continuing and then crashing. The level of the crash is the only thing in debate. Most models are starting to show a 50% to 80% drop in the human population. The long term Harvard / MIT study started in the 1960's and still running shows an 80% drop as all civilisation collapses. Im more optimistic than that - I think the collapse of the USA will be a wake up call to other countries - I think peak at 9 billion. collapse after that by 30% to 50% because Im an optomist.
