Maybe this counter-balance will cause more people to take a real look at what's going on and toss the rubbishy ideas to the same.

What's App With That? is a great climate website. Lots of contributors explaining the facts and why there is no crisis. We've been trained to "read" events in terms of crises.

It's going to be difficult for any group whether it's the current hegemon and associates or the BRICS+ to continue growing or maintaining the incredibly complex system that has been built. Oil is obviously the key element here but the others are also suffering the same effects due to decreasing buying power of the general population.

If there is some kind of plug and play tech reveal that is a game changer then I will change my tune, but only when I see it.

If there is a depression level collapse then survival will depend on each individual's personal situation so it's kind of futile trying to make general predictions based on that.

Some people I listen to are pushing hard for an American dominance revival which to me sounds like desperation. I don't think the American people themselves back this idea. Many would prefer to take a back seat for a while with total retrieval of American forces worldwide.

What I don't want is to suddenly be under globalist (Chinese/Russian communist) values as we witnessed in Chinese cities during their lockdowns.

I don't think the Russians or Chinese plan to be globalists, they're more multipolar, but with Western economies declining and theirs rising and giving each other cheap gas like Russia is giving to India at the mo.

It certainly does look like a breakaway group with fifty nations meeting in Moscow the other day! Whatever happens I hope that we can all get along a little better.

I don't think anyone wants to control us, apart from to buy stuff

The "globalists" are following the script as best they can! But sometimes they have to postpone, improvise, rewrite some sections, just like the hacks that they are.
