Up until the Covid fascism I would have thought that mandatory reductions in standards of living would be impossible in the U.S.

Well, my family is certainly going there thanks to Burden and his economic team. Not willfully, I might add.

Sure thing. As soon as I see (say, a dozen or so) billionaires seriously and visibly downsize their lives, I’ll consider stripping away a few things from my own already pretty meagre existence. :P

Being that I probably produce less hot air and toxic gases per month than the average billionaire’s FART...

Screw the Watermelon Greens.

If they want to save the earth they should kill themselves and not bother the rest of us.

THEY ARE SO AUDACIOUS, THEY ACTUALLY COME OUT AND SAY IT.

I said many years ago that this is basically a war on first world standard of living.

Oh! Did I trigger the thought police by saying ‘first world’?

No wait, only third world is censored, because it’s ‘racist’.

The marxists like to claim that communism was never really tried. Not on the purist sense. Yet it seems like what they really want is people standing in bread lines, freezing to death. So, didn’t they already accomplish this in the past?

“Governments must introduce measures to reduce the public’s standard of living by a staggering 75 percent...”

Rich people first then. Confiscate their mansions, private jets, luxury cars, jewelry, etc. Then we can talk.

And by “public” they do not mean the rich and famous Lear jet leftists who expect to form the core of the global Inner Party.

The King Charles types expect to continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer...while deciding your fate for you.

If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat...and air conditioning on a rationed basis.

The rest of us will eat insects and swelter...for the good of the planet.

Eating 75% percent less is not an option

NVenergy is pushing me in that direction. Until the past, oh say 100-150 years, the normal human condition was poverty. With royals and such maintaining their lavish life styles.

Destroy the middle class and rule the peasants with an iron fist.

Our biggest expense is government, so let’s start cutting there.

To save the planet, we’re told we must live lives that are “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”, just like the bad old days. More precisely, “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short, and Communist”. So that the very few can live as worshipped demigods. And to save the planet.
