It's money not power and control.

 

[Spenser]

With all due respect and best wishes, You are a text book victim of classic climate change Hegelian dialectic.
To have power you need control
To have control you need fear
Create fear and convince people you're they only one that can protect them.
...people will not only agree to give up their freedoms, they'll ask to give them up.

My main focus in prepping has always been to survive the sh!t storm of civil unrest that's going to happen when those in power try to enforce some ridiculous mandate like "time allotments for going out" in the name of climate change.

The "time allotment" of the 15 minute city is not for going out, but for driving. Walk, ride a bike, sail a boat, kayak or canoe to your heart's content. Hop on the solar/electric trolly, to take you out even farther.

& in no way trying to be disrespectful, I have lived in over 30 places in the roughly ~50 past years, and I have revisited many of the places that i took abode, acres upon acres of forest areas gone for new housing, lakes and streams that were once flourishing are now trickles of water or simply gone. Smog levels doubling, water pollution intensified.

You want proof, take a look at the ice samples in Glaciers over this past 100 years, it pretty much says it all.

BTW, power is quite misleading. Power corrupts & absolute power corrupts absolutely. & it is ironic you mention this as Trump's power is based solely on fear.

I was the captain of the football team, basketball team, Ultima Frisbee team, debate team, and our fencing team, not due to having power, not because I caused fear, but because I was not afraid (and realize we were a whole white team going vs Hispanic and African Americans that well let's just say were not fond of white people whereas I believe in racial equality)

A true leader people follow out of love, admiration or respect, not fear.

Power gets you money (ie... politicians)
Money gets you power (ie... Bill Gates, Elon Musk)
The end result is control

Horse hockey. The soviets ruled thru fear. So did the Nazis. So has the Biden administration. Trump lead by doing what he said he was going to do. Who feared him north korea. Iran, China and liberals. Honest hard working Americans not afraid of carrot top

I will say again, blind faith. I have faith in no man, nor god, nor entity, no country, the only person I know I can trust is myself, and I am my worse enemy.

You really are a hoot. Let's see you trust no one but seem to believe anyone on the left with an axe 🪓 to grind when it comes to djt. Kinda feel sorry for you.

 

[NMPRN]

it is ironic you mention this as Trump's power is based solely on fear.

How is it "ironic"? Did I mention any politician or political party? Did I ever say one side rules by fear but the other side doesn't? Again, how is it ironic? You're making a wild assumption of my political mindset based on your bias of a stereotype.

There certainly is a fear of Trump in certain circles but I'd argue it's based on political fearmongering by a very biased press, EXACTLY the same way Joseph Goebbels got the German people to fear the Jews.

I was the captain of the football team...

The only authority you had as the captain of a football team was the delegated authority of the coach. Your coach, no doubt, used fear as his base for authority. (fear of getting benched or having to run laps, etc.)

And how naive do you have to be to think that being the captain of a football team has ANYTHING to do with having real power in a polarized world with billions of dollars and millions of lives at play?

1st i am curious how u got an axe icon in here, due tell kind of cool.
2nd you assume my info comes from leftists. I said I don't trust anyone, that includes both sides and some.

The only authority you had as the captain of a football team was the delegated authority of the coach. Your coach, no doubt, used fear as his base for authority.

Oh, you are correct there about our coach. He pretty much said that anyone dumb enough to be the captain of our team was going to get their @$$ kicked by the opposing teams after school (we were the only team that was white). Mind you, many of them had gang associations. & he was correct, as every game we won came with me being a punching bag, BUT I made sure it was only me that got hit and not my teammates. With that said, I had the respect of my entire team, as every gameplay i suggested they carried out full knowing that I was going to get the brunt of it each day after school. That, took courage on all of our parts.

And how naive do you have to be to think that being the captain of a football team has ANYTHING to do with having real power in a polarized world with billions of dollars and millions of lives at play?

& no disrespect, the only one of us that may be naive, is you. If you want to be technical, Football is over a 1.6 billion dollar industry, regardless, my father is a Lobbyist, and I am far from being clueless.

Old timer, if you could get me angry, it means that you have physically hurt or threatened someone. If I was willing to go vs. an entire ethnic football team to stand up for what I believe in, then someone like yourself wouldn't have a chance to piss me off with mere words.

 

[Spenser]

Sorry, Old Man, not sure how i got timer associated with that.

Coolio tried to warn us, but we didn't listen...

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'

Don't know if many of you have seen the info on 15-minute cities, but it's supposed to
go into effect in 2024 in Oxford England

In the name of Climate Change, they will allow people to live, travel and move around
in 15-minute areas.

If your mom, children or loved ones live outside of your region, you have to get a special
permit to travel to see them.

This is happening, Do your homework, Prepare

You really need to be put on Meds.
