I had seen that earlier today, and as someone who works in Uganda’s biggest slum, where we bought food for a month for 75 people today that was 30% higher than last month and 60% higher than the first buy of 2022…. These people are evil. They literally do not care who they kill with their ridiculous “wow, the Middle Ages were so great, let’s go back” infantile thinking. It’s not just infuriating, it’s evil personified.
Agree with you J, but you left out a very significant key factor. These people are STUPID! They are incapable of recognizing reality. Ever. When their actions, or lack thereof, cause harm, or even death, to others, they fail to acknowledge that it happened. Its not real to them. When their actions, or lack thereof, cause harm, or even death, to themselves, they blame others. And and go on to repeat the same stupidity. Over and over.
Hmmm. So the purpose of allowing millions of migrants over our southern border is to insure we have enough turd collectors for the Great Reset. Now it all makes sense.
I am curious how many of the people who write about farming in the mainstream media have actually worked on a farm, own a farm, or provided any kind of service to a farm? Anytime the Atlantic or the NYT writes about farming they get all the fundamental ideas wrong. I can't imagine they do better on the macro than they do on the micro.
They're Smart People. They went to the Right Schools, they know the Right People, and they have Good Feelings. Don't bother them with pesky facts, peon.
I live on a regenerative farm - which means we don't use fertiliser etc. and we produce quite well, so I say this with some practical expertise. You CANNOT just cold turkey soil from fertiliser as it goes into shock - it should be phased out, as the natural soil life needs time to rebuild as the chemistry changes.
Moreover farmers need time to learn how to farm this way and it is best to dedicate a portion of the farm to the experiment of natural farming - so you can learn while doing and not put the productivity of the whole farm at risk. Also, what works for us in the bottom of the south pacific may not work for your soil, climate, animals, crops or produce ... natural farming is a set of strategies that have to be learnt, tried, experimented with and adapted to meet the needs of every farmer and every farm.
It was government intervention that got most farmers hooked on fertiliser - this allowed farms to focus on producing heaps of one or two items. Old school farms, without fertiliser, cannot really produce this way, instead producing a little of lot of different things - meat, milk, wool+fibres, fruits, syrups, vegetables and grains. But orchards cannot be restored overnight, diverse grasslands have to be rebuilt to sustain grazing and crops without modern techniques is a complex labour intensive challenge, the skillset is just not there to force this change upon farmers.
A worldwide return to natural farming is a 10-30 year project with a need for open source science and skill sharing, while I romantically believe this is possible and better for our bellies and our planet, Samantha Powers demands are pure sophistry and will cause famine.
It's always sophistry with these people. They don't understand anything but buzzwords because they can't be bothered. Their curiosity extends to one thing and one thing only, their own best interest.
And you can ALWAYS tell when someone spouting revolutionary change doesn't give a damn at all about human beings. They have no transition plan, they have no real sense of what is already happening, and they have no idea what a reasonable limit would be beyond which it would no longer be a net benefit to humanity.
What an odious creature that Samantha Power is. And USAID needs to be shut down. "From the American People" my a$$. The American people have no voice whatsoever in that agency's doings.
Look at that lineup of seated clowns. How do I know they're clowns. Because they've got masks on. They advertise it. This is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity or it's going to be the norm? I don't know. Don't take a chance. Take their pictures, write down their names, take note of the offices they hold right now in this golden time when every coprocephalic is clearly advertising his/herself. In they'll be marked forever.
So true. I have somehow instinctively avoided certain kinds of people my entire life. For a time I felt kind of bad for just writing so many people off, but the Covid debacle revealed almost all of these same people to be rabid maskers. By eliminating these types from my lived experience, I had been doing the right thing all along! The masks just make them more conspicuous now.
Yep. It's real nitty gritty isn't it? I am a real kinda airy-fairy peace and love type guy, firmly believing we're all come down from some spirit realm to inhabit human bodies in order to learn something and do some good, etc etc... And convinced, therefore, that without doubt 'love' and amity etc. is absolutely the way to go.
But you've got to be realistic.
Without meaning any harm to the thing I won't share a bed with a poisonous snake.
I wouldn't leave a mad stoner alone in my apartment.
I wouldn't give a loaded gun to a child.
etc. etc..
We just have to discriminate and cut our suits according to our cloth.
There are some people I just must not, cannot, mix with for any length of time, perhaps not at all.
Why am I so reluctant to concede that fact? Because I've been persistently unrealistic.
All 'ordinary' and sane and sensible people constantly choose their friends carefully and moderate their talk and self revealing according to their company.
Just because I want everything to be hearts and flowers I've kinda been acting like it is.
But it isn't.
And I'm maybe the last one to wake up to that. :)
Realism.
But it's so enormous! It's over 90% of the population! How can I moderate my interactions and my speech more than 90% of the time? Is how I feel. Too big a task. Staggering. Out of all sensible proportion.
But funnily enough it turns out I have been virtually doing that for decades anyway and it's now become such an ingrained habit i don't even realise I'm doing it.
But I smoked dope for over 25 years, way back then (I'm really old now) and I've since learned that more than 90% of the population you must not reveal that to. They don't like to hear it.
So I don't. I mention it only to a very small percentage. I'd guess less than 10%.
So looks like I've been practicing this kind of self censorship for decades anyway.
I just have to extend it to cover much, much more. I have to extend it to cover not just which particular foible I think acceptable, even good, but the whole sphere of rational thought!
I must never suggest that we could think for ourselves. That we have a right to. That - god forbid, we might even have a duty to !
And it goes on from there, doesn't it... ?
Sounds terrible.
Sounds like cutting one's self off from the whole human race.
But you know what? I've never interacted with so many humans in my life as I have in this last two years courtesy of this covid madness.
I now 'know' ( i.e. read the comments and posts of an such and occasionally even have extended communications for a while ) maybe a couple of dozen people in a way that I never did before.
Nearest I came to it before was perhaps reading a book I valued and having an appreciation for that author and his mindset, his opinions, the truths he revealed to me. A favourite to this day is Nick Lane and 'Oxygen' and 'Life Ascending' and such readings were pretty rare.
But this last two years has been a welter of informative reading from men (and women) of comparable value on topics all over the place, revolving around the covid thing of course but the discussion sure ranged far and wide in the end didn't it, doesn't it?
I talk a bit too much.
Just finished an assignment and this is by way of letting the tension out I think.
The snake, the stoner and the child are usually fairly powerless and easy to identify, and if you're lucky you can still extend yourself in small ways that are beneficial to both of you without getting sliced. It's the people who believe, or have been led to believe, that they are (in one way or another) entitled to have some degree of power over you that'll wreak the real havoc -regardless of what they think their intentions are. Fear of a virus isn't the only thing that they are hiding behind those masks. I'm just happy for the visual cues as I can circumvent them from a block or more away now, rather then having to expend energy strategizing an exit when they get too close.
I've got a question. Did they ever arrest whoever it was who used her "unmasking" credentials while she was at the UN as ambassador without her knowledge, hundreds of times?
If you starve enough people they will usually revolt. I holding out hope that worldwide Revolution and massive blood spill will become reality sadly it is the only way to change course.
In reality, though, that would be one of the best things people could do for the future of the planet, following Joe Jenkins's _Humanure Handbook_. It would free up a huge percentage of water waste, and make much better use of a natural resource.

Misgendering Lia Thomas is a tragedy. A 60% increase in food prices for starving Ugandans is a statistic.

"Excrement shock workers," please. Onward!

These are the same people that want to move away from a meat based diet to a plant based diet. And so the manure will come from.... where?
From broccoli. We'll use broccoli manure. AND IT WILL BE THE BEST MANURE THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.
Can anyone spell e. coli and Chipotle ?

Powers is Cass Sunstein's wife. You know, the rabid depopulationist? Feel better now?
"ultramodern agricultural shit".... good one!
Post-capitalist Malthusian thinking. That's just great.
Samantha Power?
I've got a question. Did they ever arrest whoever it was who used her "unmasking" credentials while she was at the UN as ambassador without her knowledge, hundreds of times?
No?
I'm not surprised.
4 of the biggest dipshits you will ever see. Hey, I have a great solution for all global warming, famine, etc ... Let's kill 3 billion people.
So we need cows ??!! Tell Bill Gates. No more fake meat. Long live the cow 🐄!!
If you starve enough people they will usually revolt. I holding out hope that worldwide Revolution and massive blood spill will become reality sadly it is the only way to change course.
Ah YES Revisiting the 'Carpenters'. It's yesterday once more.
In reality, though, that would be one of the best things people could do for the future of the planet, following Joe Jenkins's _Humanure Handbook_. It would free up a huge percentage of water waste, and make much better use of a natural resource.
