A 5000 year old tree chopped down near Wheeler Peak in Nevada.
I took the time to re-read the article and the thread. At best the paid journalist comes off as someone disconnected from reality commenting with no skin in the game. And they wonder about the lurch towards fascism…

He’s the journalist. If he can’t make his argument clear then maybe he should go live in a leaky trailer in the middle of nowhere on $25K / year and tell us that isn’t also poverty.

At best he’s waving his hands and being anything but clear. Which isn’t much different than joining a mutual self pleasure club.

Stop being so pedantic, nerd.

Those arguing with you are saying that even that line is ridiculous for a single person. Make that clear before resorting to pedantry about household size.

Where would you suggest one live alone on $25K / year and not be on poverty wages other than your parents basement, ADU, or a trailer in BFE?

Thanks for the tip!

The climate change issue is going to change drastically after we’re done with World War III.

She’s watching me, duh!

Their world war interests are aligned. Along with Bibi, Orban, and the rising extreme right in Europe. Putin likely as well.

It’s an absolute game changer. I bought the hard cover 15 years ago on special order from a book store that no longer exists. I also own the ebook. I recommend getting a hard copy in these times.

Shitposting is the new soft power.

Absolutely balmy compared to the hearts of those in power.

It is most if not all of modern human culture as well.

No.

Please realize this is an undeclared world war. The sooner we understand collectively, the sooner we’ll get into the streets.

You should have more faith that the Washington Generals will defeat the Harlem Globetrotters this time. Cynic!

You really should read Iain McGilchrist’s book, The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World. It will blow both of your minds.

Some clearly believe that it will be good for them, like the “Good Germans” before them. Still others are falling in line preemptively as mental defense. Hoping irrationally that they and those they love won’t be targeted. The powerful want to take full advantage. History is repeating.

We are in an undeclared world war now. The Pope called it almost three years ago. The shitposters now running our country are operating under that understanding. Their actions speak clearly.
