Just finished The Alienork Way, and as usual, excellent!
I forwarded it to some people who I think will prolly read it, but it’s just preaching to the choir with them. A story like this could be a good way to maybe open the eyes to libtards who choose to keep their heads burried in the sand, and debated sending it to a few I’m forced to interact with, but didn’t. Unfortunately, TPTB have done such a powerful and successful job of pushing their agenda, that libtards react just like the council in your story did, to anything that challenges their worldview, even impending catastrophes. There is probably no better way to get through to them than using the traditional art of story telling, but I fear that nothing is going to get through to them until it lands right on their doorstep, and by the time it does, we’re all going to have to pay for their willful ignorance.
Nevertheless, your essay’s and stories are certainly are an inspiration to all of us who can see what’s coming! Keep up the good work Matt!!!
It’s a lot easier to hide in denial. We don’t have the excuse, we have all the lessons of history. These guys on a real “Happy Island” did not.
Show them this story first, maybe.
The Maori and Chatham Islanders
(An actual Alienork/Notork example)
On Chatham Island (pronounced CHAT-ham), 800 kilometers east of New Zealand, lived the Moriori, who were related to the Maori. They were hunters and gatherers, sparse in population and, perhaps because they were few in number and isolated they were unpracticed at warfare. In late 1835 about 900 Maori from New Zealand landed on Chatham Island. The Maori were armed with guns, clubs and axes. They announced to the Moriori that they were their slaves. Moriori chiefs conferred with each other and drew from their religious heritage. They offered the Maori friendship and a share of the island’s resources. The attempt to appease the Maori failed. The Maori began killing the Moriori, including women and children. The Maori put people in pens and feasted on the tender meat of Moriori children. A Maori conqueror described it:
“We took possession in accordance with our customs and we caught all the people. Not one escaped. Some ran away from us. These we killed, and others we killed, but what of that? It was in accordance with our custom.”
