Why is the left pro war now?

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-14T18:47:28+00:00

It's not just 'the left''s pro-war stance that's peculiar.

Did you ever imagine that it would e.g. push for corporate control of information,
wanting sociopathic greed-driven businesses deciding what people get to read or not?

The current 'left' seems to be marketing-agency astroturf
actually aiming at totalitarianism.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-09T19:09:54+00:00

You lazily posted statements from and a link to some NASA vulgarization aimed at kids:

'Four Major Gases Contribute to the Greenhouse Effect, Number one: Carbon Dioxide.'

Have you, with this, addressed his argument, in any way?

The statements that you imagine you're somehow challenging thus
is his claims that Carbon Dioxide only constitutes 0.04 % of the Earth's atmosphere,
and that (of that 0.04 %), 3% is anthropogenic, etc.

That's what needs addressing.

Every time RFK says something unaligned, ...
which is often, and is thus immediately attacked by sell-out/cowardly/compromised shills, ...
typically by seeking to distort/straw-man what he actually says, ...
it usually turns out that RFK was actually right.

Corporate-controlled search engines are chock-full of articles about RFK's antisemitism, for example.

But, to get a glimpse of the truth,
watch the attacks on RFK by the infamously depraved Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
where RFK gives her the actual facts, which she's not at all interested in,
as shown by her frantic attempts to prevent him from responding meaningfully,
essentially gagging him, so she can continue spreading the misleading vitriol.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-18T14:21:23+00:00

The key seems to be that this is about the most taboo 'topics', not the most taboo 'acts'.

I'm sure that talking about the genetic differences between races/subspecies
is only considered more taboo than 'talking' about incest and paedophilia,
not 'committing' them.

At this point,
not only should Assange be immediately released,
but everyone involved in his shameful persecution should be indicted.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-10T17:49:33+00:00

It does seem so, doesn't it?

Nonetheless, there must be some hesitancy even towards saidit.
This is partly due to a certain lack of transparency about who owns/controls it.
Let's not forget that privatizing digital town squares
was done to bypass actual freedom of speech.

Eventually, a non-privately/corporately owned platform,
a publicly-owned platform, really analogous to a town square,
has to eventually be created,
where, by law and to the extent allowed by law,
e.g. freedom of speech, is implemented.

Sincere political views by actual people must be protected,
and only taken away if someone is caught shilling, spamming, advertising,
and/or committing other forms of lying for pay.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-01T10:30:29+00:00

Interesting ...
not to mention that, currently, many/most such terms have become misnomers,

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-15T08:20:54+00:00

NATO has become a dangerous anachronism,
which should have been dismantled when the Warsaw Pact was disbanded.

Europe should of course remain allied with the USA,
a former European colony after all,
which still shares many values with European civilization.

However, Europe must extricate itself from the USA's 'leadership',
which usually involves pointlessly mass-murdering people by the tens of thousands.

European foreign policy must stop being directed
by the 'Neocons' and/or other corrupt/evil forces
currently in control of the USA.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-10T19:24:06+00:00

Again, excellent points.

So, I guess that, though you're right on every point,
my own is that citizens must ... somehow ... fight to regain a balance of power
between themselves and the regimes/governments/bureaucracies
that claim to represent them, but more and more disingenuously.

I seem to agree with the old 'I'd rather a government fear its citizens than the other way around'.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-10T18:43:45+00:00

These are excellent points.

An important aspect of the USA and French revolutions
is that mass-production allowed the people
to basically have the same weapons (guns) as governments
and there were far more people than government mercenaries (police/army, etc), so ...

Before that, the expense and widescale unavailability of armour and quality weaponry
meant that e.g. a team of ten armoured knights on horseback could decimate entire villages of villeins,
something that helped prop-up feudalism.

We do now seem to be moving back towards some neo-feudal (but high-tech) situation.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't say that revolutions, or resistance to tyranny, has zero to do with violence.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-10T17:09:48+00:00

They may need them ...
but even an armed citizenry will soon present no obstacle to tyranny,
as governments will increasingly transition to drones and other automated systems,
able to kill en masse, without courage or ability, from complete mechanized safety.

Yet another 'Swedish' issue.

Apparently, Europe, especially Nordic Europe,
must ... 'diversify'.

Gods forbid it should remain civilized.

More generally, current nations/ethnicities must all be turned into
a huge pile of (brown, 2-digit-IQ, etc.) monotypic, monocultural, generic, 'humans'.

Making all differences disappear is what 'diversity' should all be about, isn't it?

And there's no danger that this might allow some sociopathic 'elite' (so to speak)
to easily manipulate and eventually enslave humanity.

No, of course not! :/

Germany didn't attack England

England attacked Germany.

Germany counterattacked England.

And England attacked Germany
supposedly 'in defence of Poland',
or, actually, in order to continue propping up
some infamous 'Piłsudski's colonels' hunta regime,
which no-one seems to mention somehow.

Now, once Germany (and most of Europe) were destroyed by WWII,
the Polish people were promptly delivered to Stalin,
the main 'good guy' of WWII, and,
incidentally, the worst mass murderer of the 20th century,
you know the one that did e.g. this:

The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD ("People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs", the Soviet secret police) in April and May 1940. Though the killings also occurred in the Kalinin and Kharkiv prisons and elsewhere, the massacre is named after the Katyn forest, where some of the mass graves were first discovered by German Nazi forces. The order to execute captive members of the Polish officer corps was secretly issued by the Soviet Politburo led by Joseph Stalin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre

WWII ended up costing ~80 million lives ...
in order to give Poland to Stalin.

Worth it, was it?

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-23T13:48:07+00:00

As a general rule, the USA, starting out as a European colony, got most of its ideas from Europe.

However, after the WWII destruction of Europe,
its US and USSR occupiers (and their European stooges)
literally outlawed many of the competing ideas/ideals/ideologies in Europe.

Basically, the same thing that was done to European Art was done to European Ideas.

Ugliness, stupidity and primitivism were now the only allowed/promoted movements
and anything classical/European was to be despised.

To become a celebrated artist or thinker in occupied Europe,
you had to abide by the new rules ...
something that, unfortunately, is still going on.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-07T09:09:01+00:00

I'm not the one pretending to challenge his arguments,
nor, certainly, spewing labels and insults,
including, ironically, about what a moron he is.

'The rest of the information' that you linked,
i.e. about gases other than CO2,
methane (CH4), at 0.01%, constitutes even (and much) less than CO2,
and as for Nitrous Oxide and/or CFCs, their percentages are even tinier, as in minuscule,
i.e parts per billion of the atmosphere.
The most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere seems to be ... water vapour.

And the CO2 part of the NASA thing you quote and link says

'carbon dioxide (CO2) is released through natural processes (like volcanic eruptions) and through human activities'.

Fine, so, what Mr Jones claims is that
the anthropogenic (human activities) portion
of the (0.04%) CO2 part of the atmosphere
constitutes merely 3% of that 0.04%,
meaning that natural processes contribute 97% of it,
i.e. of the 0.04% part of the atmosphere that is CO2.

Now, many/most policies currently being proposed
aim at curbing anthropogenic carbon production,
at great costs to societies/taxpayers/people
and great profits to the corporations positioned to 'solve the problem',
all the while ignoring that 97% of CO2 production is not anthropogenic.

So, his concerns seem arguably valid, IF his numbers are correct.

Are they correct?

The basic challenge of men pretending to be women may be their 'struggle against reality' (Monty Python).

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-04T10:39:38+00:00

There's a movement to impose the pretence that humans are a monotypic species, not a polytypic one,
by using that the boundaries between recognizable human types are fuzzy, not crisp.

This seems to be part of a more general attack, supposedly out of 'kindness', on our attempts to actually understand objective reality.

It also manifests in e.g. pushing the idea that a mentally ill man pretending to be a woman is in fact a woman.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-03T19:20:46+00:00

Agreed, and we're not even talking about any real 'Left', which would ostensibly work to protect the people from plutocratic private interests.

Those in control of the (ironically named) 'Democrats' constitute a fake 'Left', and they actually look down upon and despise 'the people', considering them 'deplorables'.

This kind of astroturf pseudo-'Left' works for an 'elite' (so to speak) of plutocratic banking and corporate interests and against the people.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-03T13:28:11+00:00

So, not only can a man pass himself off as a woman, legally so,

Let's, as an exercise in both laziness and irony, ask a non-human to answer (though it will merely regurgitate and recombine what actual humans have said):

ChatGPT:

The question of what it means to be human is a deeply philosophical one and has been pondered by thinkers, theologians, scientists, and artists throughout history. There's no single answer, as it encompasses a multitude of aspects including biological, psychological, social, and existential dimensions. Here are some perspectives:   

Biological Aspect: Biologically, humans are classified as Homo sapiens, a species of primates characterized by bipedal locomotion, complex brains capable of abstract thinking and language, and intricate social structures.

Consciousness and Self-awareness: One of the defining features of being human is consciousness - the ability to perceive and experience the world subjectively. This includes self-awareness, introspection, and the capacity to reflect on one's own existence.

Emotions and Empathy: Humans experience a wide range of emotions, including joy, sadness, anger, fear, and love. Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is also considered a hallmark of humanity.

Culture and Civilization: Humans have developed complex cultures, languages, art, and technology. These cultural creations distinguish us from other species and shape our identities as individuals and societies.

Moral and Ethical Reasoning: Humans possess a sense of morality and ethics, which guide our behavior and decision-making. This includes concepts of right and wrong, fairness, justice, and compassion.

Spirituality and Transcendence: Many humans seek meaning and purpose beyond the material realm, exploring questions of spirituality, religion, and existentialism. This quest for transcendence often involves grappling with the mysteries of life, death, and the universe.

Adaptability and Innovation: Humans are highly adaptable creatures, capable of thriving in diverse environments and solving complex problems. Our capacity for innovation and creativity has led to tremendous advancements in science, technology, and society.

Connection and Relationships: Humans are inherently social beings, forming deep connections with others through friendships, family bonds, romantic relationships, and community ties. These relationships contribute to our sense of belonging and fulfillment.

Ultimately, being human is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that defies easy definition. It encompasses our biological nature, cognitive abilities, emotional experiences, cultural creations, moral aspirations, and spiritual quests. It's a journey of self-discovery and meaning-making that continues to unfold throughout our lives.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-09T16:59:56+00:00

Real conspiracies do exist, but quantum physics is not one.

Far from bullshit, quantum phenomena are an undeniable aspect of reality.
You can witness them yourself, with simple home experiments.
Furthermore, attempts by Physicists to explain quantum phenomena are unquestionably sincere.

Anyone that offers a new, better, simpler, more elegant explanation for these phenomena
than the best current attempts, leading to better predictions,
will undoubtedly be celebrated by the world of Physics.
In Physics, a statement can be challenged by anyone, and is always only temporary
until a more accurate theory emerges from the process of logic and experiment.
Now, compare this to the dogmata of any religion of your choice.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-09T12:51:19+00:00

Do not interfere, as in Star Trek's Prime Directive.

Trying to solve their problems for them is a bad idea.
It ends up, ironically, making them blame you for their problems,
entitled, child-like, throwing tantrums. That's not a good solution.

The Prime Directive is what should probably have been done for the whole of Africa.

The promiscuity of Africans might be related to a high infant mortality in Africa.
Europeans figured that they'd be kind and bring them actual/scientific medicine
(to replace voodoo/magic, etc.), thus lowering infant mortality.
But this led to overpopulation, famines, etc.
Well-meaning Europeans may arguably have done more harm than exploitative ones.

Of course, left to their own devices, the Africans of the USA may soon revert
to the state they were found in, back in Africa,
some of them literally in the Stone Age, enslaving each other, etc.

Nonetheless, trying to force civilization on primitive peoples doesn't seem to work.

They need to be left alone to eventually become civilized on their own.

That's not what ... all the (both natural and anthropogenic) sources of atmospheric CO2 by percentage per year, ... means.

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-04-08T08:38:27+00:00

It's possible that Jones is referring to an estimated yearly anthropogenic contribution to the 0.04% of atmospheric CO2.

What Schmidt did, for his 33% number, was to refer to an estimated cumulative anthropogenic CO2, since 1850!

It'd be interesting, for clarity, to know what all the (both natural and anthropogenic) sources of atmospheric CO2 are, by percentage per year.
