We seem to be living in the latter pages of Atlas Shrugged lately.
The headlong rush by Western nations to not only abandon fossil fuels, but punish those involved in extracting and producing them is not only foolish, but suicidal. There is simply no way to quickly transition from abundant and inexpensive energy to solar, wind, and electric without causing massive disruption and pain for the vast majority of non-elites.
Combine this insane energy policy with the elites' simultaneous threat to shut down thousands of farms if they don't adhere to draconian measures to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and you have a recipe for privation, and — at least eventually — for great fear, anger, and chaos.
And this at a time of severe economic uncertainty and supply chain issues. For no legitimate reason, the West is determined to transition from a time of wealth and plenty to one of probable privation and famine. Stunning.
The rulers of Western nations appear crazily determined to do everything in their power — or even outside their constitutionally permitted powers — to destroy the nations they lead. Canada's Justin Trudeau brazenly and vilely violated the rights of thousands of Canadian truckers who were peacefully protesting the apprentice tyrant's suffocating and endless COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions earlier this year. He not only sicced the police on them, but pressured banks to freeze their accounts and insurance companies to cancel their policies. And Trudeau now says he expects police to snuff out another potential protest before it can occur. Is it ethical — or prudent — to so treat those responsible for delivering materials and goods to every corner of your vast and remote nation?

It all seems to be part of the leftist plan for “The Great Reset”. People would not accept it unless they are in such despair that they have nothing else to grasp on to.

It should read: There is simply no way to transition etc.
There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
They will do the same here. Won't be blue helmets. Black and/or green helmets.
Not for a while yet.
There ain’t enough people in positions of power, private and/or public, with the balls to say,”Screw it” and go Galt.
When there are, look out!!
If you went thru the book Atlas Shrugged, you could pick out a current establishment figure who is equivalent to a character from the novel.
For example, you could see Elon Musk being the modern day, Hank Reardan and someone like Tony Fauci would fit a number of characters in the novel.
We are also punishing straight white men of ability for being straight white men.
Remember, their ideal global human population is 500 million people.
How are they going to get rid of the rest of us?
Ending fossil fuel use would kill a couple billion. Freezing, starving, diseases. Why are they developing a version of Covid with an 80% kill rate?
If they believe that the ‘planet is at stake’ what isn’t justified in ‘saving humanity and the planet’? Kill five or six billion to save the rest? Sure.
If you think all of the above is crazy talk... here ya go:
Spot on.
Let’s forget comparisons to anything Ayn Rand wrote and shift focus to the fact that monkeys have taken over the bridge to the starship enterprise and we sit and watch. They’re getting away entirely with INSANITY. They’re destroying our world.
Tony Fauci would be Dr. Ferris.
We might look into what happened in 1861.
I am not any kind of follower of Ayn Rand, but if you haven’t read Atlas Shrugged, you should. It is worth it.
In that book, it seems clear that Rand intuitively understands much of human nature. She has ABSOLUTELY NO SOLUTION for the problems she identifies (I think the story ends in a gun fight), but the problems with people, she seems to understand well.
I believe it is important to understand and anticipate. That, I think, is the book’s greatest value. The insanity she described is coming true, right before our eyes. The evil in control of mankind will NOT go quietly. They will build the Harmonizer, first.
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.” - Atlas Shrugged
Always remember that Atlas Shrugged is one of the instruction manuals for the left.
It’s because of the downward spiral the USA is in, that I’d love to find an island somewhere far away from the USA and just watch it all burn, because until this nation repents of what it is doing, nothing will change and everything will continue to spiral out of control until there is nothing but anarchy in the streets.
The world 🌎🌍 is heading for the 7 years of the Tribulation.
It will start with the confirmation of the 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’ by Satan’s anti-messiah.
Most of the world either does not know what is coming or they scoff at the notion.
COVID-19(84) is just a foreshadowing; a dry run for the next steps.
