Re: Criticism of Generational Dynamics

There is nothing wrong with legitimate voting. I’m all in favor of the recent get out the vote campaigns. There is something wrong with attempting to disenfranchise certain people who happen to have voted against you. I personally believe Trump wasn’t seriously attempting to do that. He was trying t...

Also try South Korea. it was a dictatorship and had a GDP smaller than North Korea into the 1980's. Yes, it's Koreans, not Chinese but I don't the principle is much different.
Fair enough. :)

Re: Societal collapse

1. You can't cure a virus. This is not a lethal virus, either (definition: lethal viruses kill healthy people). 2. We (the planners) caused the economic fallout of Covid via central planning and propaganda. 3. You can't define systematic racism, because it is a fictional concept (which is the point...

Re: Criticism of Generational Dynamics

I’d agree that there is too much nepotism, but if Trump brings his family with him into the White House we need well thought out laws against it. Until then, we are stuck, and some will take advantage on both sides. I agree reds are for the most part with the constitution, with the exception of Trum...

Re: Criticism of Generational Dynamics

Bob, you keep going on and on with your "reds" and your "problems" but I don't see this as anything but pot stirring - and hardly real issues. I just look at the recent US crises. There is always a conservative faction wanting to keep the current system intact. These are commonly those who benefit ...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

A lot I can say here, but I will focus on Taiwan. Taiwan was a dictatorship for decades. The Taiwanese came to democracy themselves. So the Chinese can go it alone. Agreed Taiwan is as good an example of transitioning as we have. I'm not sure it is good enough. I'm nearly as concerned about the CCP...

Re: Societal collapse

There you go again with the "against solving problems" as if somehow you are the knowledgeable arbiter of what the problem is, or if it can be solved. You have given me no reason via your posts to believe that you know what the problems actually are, or if anyone can "solve them". But go ahead if y...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Autocratic cultures like China do not respond well to non violent attempts at change. They simply ignore the will of the people. There may have to be some sort of violence to overthrow the CCP. Until now, the people have been reluctant to embrace it. With the Chinese economy going south, the econom...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Sorry, but major powers have not fought a crisis war in the Information Age. Not issuing a War of the Week alert may not be quite so popular here, but I don't see it in the near future. I always slow our friends roll here too. I say economic crisis before any war, as stated in my prediction. I have...

Re: Societal collapse

You clearly don't understand scale or the history of the world's climate. Slash and burn for a million people can't possibly change anything even close to what is claimed by the modern climate change liars, and we have had decades of cooling even post industrial revolution (40s-80s). I'll just leav...
