And how do you claim to know this?

This is not about Russia being better, beyond them not being insane enough to send all their production ability to other countries. I agree that China is the greater evil - and the one the Western elites have done more to enable. For this alone it would please me to see a whole bunch of them...

I feel a desire to try to sift through and find common elements here... Marduk and THASF, I think you both agree that those in power in the West are not ruling in a way that is in line with the wellbeing of the majority of the population? That they are messing things up, badly, and walling...

We should clarify what we mean by "Dark Age". The original meaning was something like "era of history that we know next to nothing about". But more light gradually got shone into that era. Around the time of the fall of the Western Roman empire, apparently there were some serious natural...

Compared to what? Let's say the mighty US of A goes in and freedomizes the Korean Peninsular. What would be the likely result? Life is shit for a Nork under Tubby Leader, but what is the alternative you can offer?

Alright - maybe just explain in simple terms how a "tradie" like THASF is better off under the American Empire than he would be were the USA isolationist. Bonus points: explain to someone from the middle east how he's better off with the town he lives in bombed to rubble and rival gangs of...

How about "the American empire could have been a force for good, but not with the sociopathic morons currently running it" ?

Do they event want to make nice things?

I think the way it would work might be that you could stay Polish and Catholic, but your children , grandchildren, etc would increasingly become Sinicized. But even in the West, there are lots of people with Jewish ancestry, who don't personally identify as Jewish at all, either in religion or...

China has a history of going into stagnation and then being conquered from outside.

So don't buy steak from China. Problem solved.

The Good Reset rather please?

Now now now, that would be telling.

Well he makes rockets...

Location matters indeed. But it's far from the only thing that matters in the "without it, it you die as well" sense. For example: people who know how to grow their own food are going to have a survival advantage over people who only know how to order food from the shops. People who are...

A major solar flare that shuts down electronics would have catastrophic effects on today's civilization, yes. But one's chances of survival would still be better the less integrated into and dependent on "the system" one was.

A good argument for being way out in the sticks and growing your own food, I suppose.

No, those people will be the ones left alive when the next Carrington Event fries all the electronics on which your AI stuff depends.

This very much depends on what sort of human labour we are talking about. Simple repetitious tasks, doing the exact same thing over and over? Steam-powered machines have been replacing human labour there for centuries already. Go back earlier, and wind-powered mills can crush grain more...
