> It's odd how everytime somebody mentions slashing oil production by 50 or 75%, people are immediately up in arms.
Maybe because they understand the immediate consequences of such an action and you don't. That's why 0 leaders around the world are proposing that kind of solutions because everyone that knows how world works, how supply chains work and what kind of environment is needed for people to elect leaders like Hitler. You want WWIII? The best way to do it is crashing the world economy.
> I mean there are plenty people in other parts of the world who don't have such a high standard of living, and it's not that big of a problem.
Good luck with that, people didn't work so hard in the west to now switching to 3rd world country standards. Climate change is a common knowledge, there are green parties in almost every country, if people really wanted to change their way of living they would vote for them but they don't. Clearly they are waiting for a technical miracle to happen or just don't care.
So what does it mean? It means that winter is coming and you should prepare for it. None of the newest models show that we can avoid first level of catastrophe even if we stop all the emissions. Millions or tens of millions of people will die, hundreds of millions will try to migrate. At this stage it's not a question of if but when. Life is not a Hollywood movie.
Jesus Christ, I didn't notice the profile, but I have to say the video intro to Hitler with a MIDI soundtrack of "Unchained Melody" in the background had me in stitches spitting wine halfway across the room. I'm glad this is the last site I still engage with people on; at least here there's a good bartender. I'm ready to stop having conversations with people I can't look in the face. In my most hopeful moments I imagine constructive conversation on HN as a reversion to BBSing, maybe even a stepping stone to people finally abandoning computers as a way of talking to each other completely, as we all just get sick of it.
[edit]: I've decided to watch this video because it's important to know what people are seeing (and as a form of sick entertainment). An amazing thing I learned at around 17:30 in the video, which I'm sure is not intended, is that the phrase "social justice" existed back then, and was deployed - apparently in a positive way - to describe Hitler's policies. This blew my mind. The fight over the meaning of what is just has in my lifetime been replaced by calls for "social justice" which enthrall everyone, but seemingly are for the good. Yet somehow they stand at this bizarre merger where extremist left and right in online populist discourse claim definitions of those words, and the phrase as a whole; which fact I had always dismissed as unimportant. This then is not unimportant. I listened to that and sat back and thought, "ah, the whole concept of twisting the good of society and the notion of individual justice into a phrase like 'social justice' is quite evil to both society and individuals."
Just wanted to mention it, and I may stop watching the hitler movie now and go eat my leftover Chinese food. Or I might keep watching it and keep adding to this little rant. Fuck those guys. But it's illuminating to know what your enemy is thinking.
On a semi-related note, yesterday I watched a BBC documentary about Stalin and couldn't help but notice the similarities with Hitler's actions. And the guy comes out of WWII as a hero. Not unexpected at all from megalomaniac people but why the world cared about Hitler and not Stalin? As usual, nothing to do with helping other human beings but securing power/resources.
