Good article. Tom & Daisy exemplify the precursors of the woke, toxic narcissists of 2022. Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe but my brother and his wife didn't. Nor did my father. Nor did my nieces and nephews. None of them living the high life. Timeshare is a tent on the beach in January (soz we're upside down here).

Can you imagine what's coming?

Highland Clearances come to mind though the Balkans do too.

I don't know. Knowing what to do us one aspect, being lucky is another. And yes, the location. More land less people, mid slope with water, solar orientation, climate, natural fuel, defensible, and more to consider.

Maybe none of us ought to be alive then.

We're here because we survived multiple episodes of violence in the past. But those who constantly select on violence will either breed themselves out (because chances are higher they die before breeding) or they will breed themselves into predators. No gardens for them.

Predators designed this teachable Covid moment. They calculate a new all cause mortality and expect most of technology and technocracy to survive with a lucky few elites, a tiny middle stratum, and large numbers of sick and dying people

They were better off when managing the peasants, who along with the serfs and slaves had enough surplus, people only need the basics, but the elite didn't manage that very well either.

The lifestyle of the elite makes them weak, the biology of the planet is killing them off now and why they seek to destroy it (natural succession) with all these many concoctions. All we have to do is go back to the biology and integrate with it.

I'm now reading a book Power by Heinberg, not finished yet, but I already think he gets its.

I'm more angling towards those reliant on modern technology will quickly fade away once the fuel is gone. No gardens no food sort if idea.

Such Toms and Daisies are the mechanized infantry (=zombies) of the NWO, attracting their likenesses to follow their suit...
