Climate change us horse shit even with the weather remarks. We had numerous devastating hurricanes before 1950 more so then we've had now
Ree no natural disasters mean climate change
Ree natural disasters mean you guessed it climate change
It snowed in South Texas where I live. Twice in one year
The last time thay happened was 12 years ago or so and before that 100 years
Of course climate changes. Humans however have little impact on it (and it's not as bad as we are told it is)

How could you, @OtakuKing
I have this pipe dream of the Democrats collapsing and actual right wingers hijacking it and creating an actual right wing party
Fucking use Archive.is
Don't give them clicks.
@OtakuKing I hope your not surprised by this
it's almost like visible members of your community acting like reprobates with almost no guiding voices telling people to calm the fuck down gradually leads to your group becoming stigmatized.
The issue being that the way feudalism works, the workers need to be tied to the land for their liege lords (and you will need those to respond to local issues) to effectively manage them. And with our highly mobile workforce, it just wouldn't work. She's a social scientist. She ought to know the reasons it would probably fail.
Right. People say crazy stuff when it's off the cuff.
It sounded like she was thinking about it for a while, and Ape was agreeing with her
Weird.
I think she genuinely believes it could somehow work
Well if she's got an idea I'd like to hear it because I don't see a way that could end in anything but something worse than North Korea.
Like, you would need intentional class based restriction of technological access to even begin to make that work.
Like a caste system where only members of certian castes were allowed to access to the internet, cars, etc.
She didn't go into specifics, but I think she's got this ideal in her head that she hasn't carefully thought out.
And they say it's "fair"b by pointing out that the peasent farmer caste gets exclusive access to modern farming equipment.
Like, I'm glad their doing Western Front again, but man, that shit was laughable.
"Well, you'll get more Marcus Aureliuses than Neros" first off, Nero's bad reputation is greatly exaggerated. Second, how do you fucking know that? Certainly Rome's history didn't give you that impression, did it?
Many a skeptic has latched on to the idea that Nero's reputation was rectonned onto him as a form of Christian propaganda.
So of course, that makes it good info.
I don't know about all that. I mean it's possible, but unlikely. We know the dude was a nutter, but he wasn't for example, playing the fiddle as Rome burned.
But that's the thing, you don't even need particularly bad rulers to fuck things up in that kind of system
