    1. The best time to decouple from fossil fuels was 1973. Today is also a very good time.
    2. Israel’s attack on a gas field was reckless, an open provocation, and didn’t serve the interests of America or the world
    3. You’d think Saudi Arabia has enough pull with the US Government to get this all to stop before fossil fuel infrastructure is permanently destroyed at a massive scale

      1. The longer global energy systems remain tied to centralized fossil fuel infrastructure, the more they become high-value, low-resilience targets—economically and militarily—inviting escalation and systemic shocks.
      2. Markets alone won’t unwind that risk fast enough; without coordinated policy and investment, capital keeps flowing into assets that are profitable short-term but increasingly fragile under geopolitical stress.
      3. A rapid shift toward distributed, electrified, and renewable energy systems isn’t just climate policy anymore—it’s a hard security strategy aimed at reducing choke points, stabilizing supply, and lowering the incentive for conflict over fuel assets.

    All of this has been planned in advance

    They want society to collapse

    Trump is just the most willing pawn

    They want the return of feudalism

    Scarcity is manufactured, the truth is there is enough for everyone

    Fuck it I honestly hope they do at this point. I’d love to see the USA corporate class knocked down a peg and brought down into the world they make everyone else live in and have to fight for scraps like we do. I’d like to see them lose all hope and chuck themselves out of windows like in the 1930s. The financialization of our economy has never left the citizenry more poor, and more than ever we have new and insidious technologies spying, listening, nudging, trying to create perfect complaint cow-like citizens. They all deserve to come down, the American business landscape is absolutely fucked and an absolute nightmare.

    Sorry for the jaded cynicism about the whole thing. I’m probably just in a sour mood because I know the poor will get more untold suffering than the wealthy if it happens. There will be people starving in the streets while supermarkets put armed guards around food they throw away.

      Love the sentiment, but if the US burns it will become a (more) feudal state with like 10 tech bros ruling over the scraps from their compounds while everyone else starves

      Dont be sorry. You are saying what a lot of people think. People are tired and angry. Unfortunately it’s not gonna change till that gets worse. I hope you get some mental peace.
