Yet another area where I find myself going “well, at least maybe there’s China?” They’ve got the right combination of skin in the game, economic/technological capability, and a government that can simply ignore all these ridiculous moral panics and mass idiocies.
It’s really sad that that seems like our best bet. I really don’t want to be anywhere near a position that seems like “yay, authoritarians.”
Lol China is the one in charge of Trump and orchestrating all of this. They want our land and gold and have bought massive amounts already. China will come to pick our bones clean like a vulture and move their people over. I wonder if Russia realizes they are going to do the same to them as well. Climate change is making it so only a few places will be inhabitable and massive floods have already started in China. They need more space, and as much as we all rag on colonial America, China has thousands of years of imperialism and taking over other places and actively expanded recently into Hong Kong, despite many people there not really wanting that.
There is no fucking sky daddy or god or benevolent leader coming to save you or me or anyone. We have to save ourselves and work together. Stop giving in to unhelpful thinking habits like “maybe a daddy figure will fix it for me.”
