Why I Look Forward to a Nuclear Winter

I agree with your points and understand them fully.

I have a differing philosophy about life. I would find the aftermath an incredibly exciting prospect in spite of the grotesque results and the harsh prospects ahead.

The challenge of that would be the restoration, of a life to live once again. Rather than a living death surrounded by a tamper of gold and a pusher of marble.

Today the west, perhaps civilisation itself is in sharp decline. Maybe at the same scale as we saw in Rome and maybe for the same reasons. Maybe irreversible.

There seems to be no return to 'normalcy'. We're being led by demagogues on all sides of the political spectrum. And being compelled to say things we know are obscene and untrue by the so called law all sides equally demand is enacted.

And the gifts handed out magnanimously by past heroic victors are being squandered by the vanquished and their newly granted power is being abused, at scale, in a bitter and spiteful revenge for not standing strong in the last battle.

Primitive culture is walking in without resistance and regressing us from our own decadence to a past deeper form of it.

And this new Rome sits idle in its decadence while watching it all play out.

All this in spite of untold abundance never before seen in history. All of this knowing clearly we could do so much better, all of us. All of it because we all refuse to make a simple, truthful, confession.

This 'new' harsh world you talk of, following such a devastation, I welcome it quickly. If, we choose to proceed as we are now.

Because then the extreme challenges we would face daily by it, would at least demand honour, respect and authentic life, once again.

At last.

I salute Mr. Wellerstein for his story telling expertise. I pray more of his kind will stand up and state it clearly, what we know by intuition to be true.

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses. It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states. Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to address the disconnect in UK leader...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale. 2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
