given the current system and circumstances any alternative ideology can be attractive.

when edison suffered so many failed attempts at making lightbulbs, should he have given up because of them?

Ok I'll put it another way, when has marxism ever not led to tyranny and mass murder?

Yeah, I think it's worth giving up on.

LOL .... and to think in the mid 70's we were all heading for the big global freeze, the next ice age.

Even if man was contributing to global warming, how long do you think it would take to stop it, or slow it down ... decades, by which time I've heard many scientists say we don't have that long. So I pose the question, if it was really that dire, wouldn't the authorites be stopping ALL industires that produce CO2? Ha ... fat chance.

Man made global warming / freezing ... bah hum bug. It's called progress and no one wants to stop it.

It's as if you think the top tier gives a flying f*** about the future. They care about the now. Quick profits runs the world, not morals. If they know they can live their 50-100 years without some major world ending catastrophe, they don't care. That's how society works.

I don't see much progress in anything tbh. We are ruining the planet for our own existence. People buy bottled water like it's going out of style because 50% of the natural water supply is contaminated by "progress". The only progress I see is making more ways to kill each other both with governments and large corporations all in the name of making money. (weapons, side effects, poverty, etc.,etc.)

But if anyone honestly thinks we can sustain the amount of fossil fuels we are using for 100's of years to come, reality will indeed knock us back into the stone age again. We are definitely not on a path for any sort of prolonged sustainment. Anyone that thinks the world will be fine forever and ever again at our current pace is very very uninformed. I'm just glad I'll be long gone before the eventual wake up call, but in a way I wish I was around for when we ran out of oil.

It'll be interesting watching the droves of people who can't change a light bulb, wire a house, sweat a pipe, build your own home, grow food etc., (in other words, without any of sort of self sustainment ability) run around like clueless morons when they can't turn on their A/C, go to the grocery store, navigate without GPS etc.,etc.,. I don't wish death on anyone, but I love people that think their iphone, internet, television, is life's necessities. Well enough of that

There are enough real life mad max types here in Australia, especially in mining country. Not sure we need any more.
