They are the future.

I put some context links in the body of the post, to read.

Georgescu has a platform of autarky, which he calls "sovereigntism". He's also surrounded by fascists ("legion of archangel Michael"), is directly connected to a paramilitary mercenary group, uses dogwhistles regularly. He also believes he's a new messiah who is chosen by God to "save" the People (he may actually be schizophrenic, but the people around him are encouraging it). He's also constantly spewing conspiracy stories and wellness pseudoscience on social media, parroting them and mixing them up with famous speeches from movies.

Georgescu is like if Trump and RFK Jr. had a son with Alex Jones as the nanny.

I added another version from a different angle: https://i.imgur.com/Jezrgss.gif

There should be no* debate, but there will be, of course.

You don't get to reduce inequality with fascists in power.

Is this evopsych bullshit?

"This study shows us that bullying seems to be associated with some meaningful outcomes that help explain why kids do it," Volk says. "This isn't just 'broken kids' doing bad behavior; it's getting them important things that matter."

Yeah, same as bandits.

Volk says the results support the idea that adolescent bullying is, at least in part, an evolutionary adaptation that may help individuals pass on their genes to future generations.

Yep, evopsych bullshit.

I'm no medical doctor, but that perfusion looks bad (bottom images in reddish colors).

We'll see how it goes, questioning is not enough to shut down fascist organizations.

edit: he's going to be investigated without being in jail (free), so expect lots of drama.

"Legionary" is a specific term relating to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Guard

"When females were selecting mates, they also had to select males that had a similar tameness to themselves," study co-author Alex Capaldi, a mathematician and statistician at James Madison University in Virginia, told Live Science. "So if both of those processes are in play, then it is possible for the self-domestication hypothesis to beat the time constraint critique."

It's a great question.

It's best to start with zero hope in humanity if you're looking for answers for that.

Here's a figure to wrap your head around:

From this paper: Characteristic processes of human evolution caused the Anthropocene and may obstruct its global solutions https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2022.0259

Homeowners who had assumed their properties would become valuable assets and provide security described their homes as “money pits” and “financial burdens”, and said they felt stuck in homes they could barely or no longer afford, with insurance, taxes, utilities and maintenance now often costing more than people’s mortgages.

Bubble. And it will get worse with climate change: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-023-01173-x

There's a term that's going to get popular: "uninsurable".

“I bought this house 19 years ago for $220,000,” she said. “If I’m lucky, I can sell it for $300,000.” Local house prices, she said, had not gone up by very much in all this time, in part because local property taxes were prohibitively expensive.

Classic hypocrisy. Complaining about how much houses costs when you want to buy, and then complaining about how little houses costs when you want to sell.

If we know that there are basically no alternatives, then we don't have to waste time and misery chasing after each CEO and corporation in detail.

I hate it

It just means that the technological "level" has to come down, to simplify.

Here, some context:

Fascists want what they always want, action on conservative goals: "more for me, less for everyone else", with an ambiguous and dynamic "me group" usually. Sometimes it's just a family clan thing, and it can even be reduced to the "Sovereign Citizen" who's doing a type of solo fascism (ancaps).

A shrinking environment means, for fascists & friends, fewer resources to use for themselves, thus a reason to take even more resources from others. It's the prepper ideology at a large scale - survival of the fittest group by hoarding resources and killing the competition.

The techbro types have their own version of this, as mentioned above with the TESCREAL ideologies.

To summarize this in a different way, ecofascists look at the problem of overshoot (includes global warming) as "how to get rid of the competition in order to reduce the overall damage and thus achieve 'sustainability'".

If you're familiar ideas like the Kaya identity then you understand the very basic: IMPACT = population size x average individual impact. Fascists love the high impact living (high consumption, lots of waste and pollution) and want to fix the impact problem by reducing the population size, not the nice lifestyle. This applies proportionally to the rich, the billionaires. Fascist narratives help to outline which population to reduce and which population to preserve (see: "the great replacement" conspiracy theory). This isn't super precise, they constantly redefine groups and there's, of course, a hierarchy or caste system aspect to it, since the rich and privileged depend on the poor and exploited. Techbros hope to achieve fully automated capitalism, so that they no longer depend on the masses. You can guess what happens if that happens.

I linked to the right thing, a great introduction to understanding how to change systems:

PLACES TO INTERVENE IN A SYSTEM

(in increasing order of effectiveness)

12. Constants, parameters, numbers (such as subsidies, taxes, standards).

11. The sizes of buffers and other stabilizing stocks, relative to their flows.

10. The structure of material stocks and flows (such as transport networks, population age structures).

9. The lengths of delays, relative to the rate of system change.

8. The strength of negative feedback loops, relative to the impacts they are trying to correct against.

7. The gain around driving positive feedback loops.

6. The structure of information flows (who does and does not have access to information).

5. The rules of the system (such as incentives, punishments, constraints).

4. The power to add, change, evolve, or self-organize system structure.

3. The goals of the system.

2. The mindset or paradigm out of which the system — its goals, structure, rules, delays, parameters — arises.

1. The power to transcend paradigms.

Regulations are important, but low(er) impact.

My point is that regulations are likely insufficient.

What we really need is a reduction in consumption. We need to stop living life as "dedicated waste manufacturers".

Here's a useful article to help get over the limits of regulations: https://donellameadows.org/archives/leverage-points-places-to-intervene-in-a-system/
