Yeah ok, sure, just slap tariffs on things and make people scared and poor enough to revert to monke. I'm sure you'll be able to go back to the days of company towns and the industrial revolution in 2025. lmao.

They really have no clue about the context in which they live in. It's 2025. You can't just go back to a time where climate change isn't fucking your shit with constant disasters. You haven't even put any planning in place to reindustrualise. What, you think you can make shit expensive and companies are just going to pay to build factories themselves? You think the economy is going to survive nobody having the money to buy your slop anymore? You think people are just going to work for free? In 2025? You think they ain't gonna start looking at the rest of the world and wondering why China is leagues ahead of them? You can't hide that shit with propaganda forever. Your people are already burnt out and sick of this shit, they have been for years.

It's wild. They really think they can just ride out the coming storm by going back to victorian cruelty. Hilarious.

Bah, we're omnivores, we don't even have to be predators. That's the stupid part of it.

Apex stupid more like it.

Predators are usually pretty shit at thriving in the long term. The same people who missread what survival of the fittest means are usually the same people who don't realise that the first thing to die in an ecosystem is usually the "apex predators".

When I said eat the rich, I meant actual cannibalism.

Scrambling to the top of a pyramid of interdependence and then acting like we won some kind of game and no longer have to care about the base of the structure.

Where have I seen this behavior before?
