Which will lose enough True Believers to fall out of favor first? Climate Crisis or government?
I'm betting on Climate Crisis losing its hold on people's minds first. Too many gullible people still cling to the backward cult of Statism.
I shake my head in disbelief whenever I hear someone "thinking past the sale" on AGCC (Anthropogenic Global Climate Change). They've largely overshot the target. Rather than discussing the possibility of climate change, they are trying to make everyone believe it's a proven crisis. Impending doom and disaster. And that's where they lost me.
Climate changes and will never stop changing. A static climate might not even be good. I am fully willing to consider that humans might be able to affect the planet's climate. Might.
But, I am not convinced that if it is real it would be a guaranteed net negative, that it could be stopped now, or that stopping it wouldn't be worse than adapting to it. Treating it like a disaster is jumping to conclusions-- conclusions that just happen to align with what the authoritarian control freaks want to do to you.
I am not stupid enough to believe that more government control is the right answer to any problem. Government-- the worst environmental disaster since at least the asteroid that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs; maybe ever!-- is going to save us all from climate change? Ha!
It's not a foregone conclusion that every bad weather event, every new disease, or every novel phenomenon is due to "climate change". But that's what they are trying to sell. It's just dumb.
Yes, belief in government is just as ridiculous, but it has deeper roots. Even people who are skeptical about the scams being sold by government are still likely to believe government is necessary. It's an absurd belief, but it's going to take time for enough of them to see it for what it is.
So, expect the Climate Change narrative to collapse in your lifetime. And rest assured that government will follow. It may just take a little longer.
I am betting on government collapsing first. The climate nonsense is failing, but the proposed solutions are failing all at once (wind, solar, EVs) and too many people are destitute and can't be squeezed anymore. At the same time, the governments at both the state and federal levels are being exposed by corruption of the tax and justice systems and pissing off ALL sides of the populace, even the pro-government dupes. This election will show all that the (s)election process is hopelessly useless, as there will be no happy losers from the selection and even the winners will know that their choice left a bad taste in their mouth. When I first got in to the liberty movement, about 20 years ago, the federal government was borrowing about 500 Billion a year to keep programs going. In late 2019 that topped 1 trillion and last month it went to 1 trillion every 100 days. The financial collapse is just about here. Governments around the world are ditching the petro-dollar and US dollars are flooding back, creating inflation while destroying profitability in production. Everything the government and the banks are doing is making things worse.
