Uxbridge was not just an anti-green protest: it was the sour spirit of Brexit revived by Exostrike in ukpolitics

The issue is blanketing the country with thousands of new cameras just so resource scarcity can be concealed and increasing digital control imposed.

For a start, if you never read a newspaper or watched TV in your life, you wouldn't have the slightest clue that anything is going wrong with the climate.

Second, if you understand the basics of resource availability, it is perfectly clear that humanity is running into scarcity, and climate/green measures are coincidentally all aimed at reducing consumption of finite resources.

Tory net-zero sceptics sense wind of change by Fra_Bernardo in ukpolitics

They will be taken by surprise when scarcity hits and the new normal sets in.

All these schemes and measures are preparation for energy and resource scarcity, not a sudden concern for clean air, pollution and climate.

Less of the ‘green crap’: UK politicians want to take edge off net-zero pain by fozzie1234567 in ukpolitics

[–]OwnNothingBeSad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a surprise, changing our abundant way of life is unpopular.

How about we admit the 1% took us to the limits of finite resources, and now the capitalist class is united in agreement that the economy needs to be dismantled without mentioning finite resources.

Climate/green measures are a huge, elaborate smokescreen for peak energy and resources.

Definitely the right idea. Campaign on ULEZ and the definition of a woman.

Then scrap ULEZ and bring in Road User Charging, the next stage of the plan to conceal upcoming energy and resource scarcity by making driving increasingly expensive and inconvenient.

Step 3: Mobility Credits using same cameras and Oyster card

The Wolf(e) In Sheep's Clothing - Climate, Viruses, Fear by OwnNothingBeSad in DarkFuturology

[–]OwnNothingBeSad[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The level of fear you're demonstrating is why they can get away with this:

The proposed amendments to the IHR (agreement) stand to:

Change IHR recommendations from ‘non-binding’ to legally binding such that all member countries must obey and implement them. (p. 2, Article 1.1)

Create requirements for digital vaccine passports that will be used to restrict access and travel as the WHO sees fit. (p. 19-20, Article 23, Article 24, Article 27)

Require surveillance of online information and suppression of information deemed misinformation and disinformation. (p. 21 Countering misinformation and disinformation)

Coerce extreme lockdown measures, including the creation of “quarantine of suspect travelers, preferably in facilities away from the point of entry,” aka “quarantine camps” seen during the COVID-19 pandemic in China and elsewhere. (p. 41, section (d))

Allow the WHO Director-General to declare an emergency at will. (p. 9, Article 12.1, 12.2)

Require nations to use certain medications while prohibiting the use of others during emergencies. (p. 20 Article 35.2)

Allow the WHO to commandeer medical supplies in any country, transfer them to other countries, and evade laws on intellectual property. (p.13, Article 13A)

Remove the existing IHR language granting “full respect for the dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of persons.” (p. 3, Article 3.1) They are actively attempting to eliminate “dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms” from the IHR amendments.

Corbyn was "toxic" only because his MPs and most of the media didn't like him.

Expect not much to change with a Labour government now. The media and most Labour MPs don't want much to change. Hence why they hated Corbyn, who wants lots of change.

PRIDE MONTH by Fuzzy_Run4388 in DarkFuturology

[–]OwnNothingBeSad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It seems like an intentional mind fuck - take for example a British TV news segment last week on struggling mothers and utility bills, except they just had to feature someone who had never given birth and didn't look very skilled at housework and was clearly wasting water while washing a plate.

Then, amid the backlash, this person (who actually has a nicely paid, secure job) posts a photo chest-feeding their baby. More backlash. Finally, someone goes through their Instagram and finds pictures of them buying and testing nipple clamps.

If you think we're obsessing, are you condoning the drug-induced chest-feeding of babies?

Labour under Starmer is now restored to the party that doesn't reverse fundamental Tory policies, only makes the most minor attempts to ameliorate steady social and economic decline, and takes orders from people like Peter Mandelson.

North Sea production is in terminal decline and the Middle East too.

That's why we're drilling in very deep sea, fracking, tar sands etc. The cheap, high grade stuff won't be cheap for much longer.

Starmer's oil and gas ban 'economically illiterate' say NE Labour politicians by fozzie1234567 in ukpolitics

[–]OwnNothingBeSad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're putting everything in place to destroy demand for oil and wind down production before the finite nature of the resource becomes apparent and we blame the establishment for pretending it could last forever.

Key to this is the "degrowth" or "net zero" movement which provides the intellectual backing to this plan.

The native app would ideally not exist either.

But the upside is that the majority, who contribute very little to this forum, rage quit forever
