Coss Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Can't help myself - one last long form, Coss Comment in colour: _____ "The Marching Morons" is a 1951 science fiction short story by Cyril M. Kornbluth that explores a dystopian future where society has been dramatically altered by a population crisis. The story begins when John Barlow, a cunning real estate agent from 1988 (remind you of anyone?), awakens from suspended animation in a distant future. He finds himself in a world where the vast majority of the population, about 5 billion people, have become extremely unintelligent, with an average IQ of 45. These "morons" are governed by a small elite of 3 million intelligent individuals who secretly manage global affairs. The intelligent minority is struggling to maintain order and prevent societal collapse. They face a critical "population problem" or "Poprob," stemming from historical trends where intelligent people had fewer children while less intelligent people reproduced more rapidly. Barlow's Solution The elite, unable to solve the crisis themselves, turn to Barlow for help. Exploiting his 20th-century perspective and self-interest, Barlow devises a plan to address the overpopulation issue: He demands to be named world dictator in exchange for his assistance. (again, remind you of anyone?) Drawing inspiration from fraudulent real estate practices, Nazi propaganda, and lemming myths, Barlow proposes a mass extermination scheme. (mmm...) He orchestrates a propaganda campaign to convince the "morons" to migrate to Venus, portraying it as a paradise. In reality, the "rockets" are disguised airplanes that will dispose of the passengers at sea. (Venezuela? anyone? Very familiar) The plan successfully exploits nationalistic fervor, with countries competing to send their populations to Venus. The story concludes with a twist: after implementing the plan, the intelligent elite also send Barlow to his death, viewing him and his 20th-century mindset as part of the original problem that led to their current predicament. ______ I don't expect Donald or any Trumpanzee, to understand the above, but should he meet his end, in any other way than a quiet choking on a cheeseburger, we can look at, as mentioned on this forum, Moscow’s Agent Governing America. _____ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 5 hours ago, buffalo_bill said: The man explained me that many of his US countrymen were just ignorant. Ignorance means not having the proper knowledge in a particular subject or information. Stupidity is when someone is not intelligent enough to grasp a concept or the facts. So point taken. So if ignorance is the issue, what better way to address it than by dismantling the education system. So which one is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalo_bill Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Ref " ignorance": is the unability to draw conclusions from or even understand facts that are available. As we are talking about: A diplomatic genius who did recently arise out of the Yellowman`s store of idiots, by the name of Witcoff, just met President Wladimir of Russia and found out the man is after nothing more than piece with the Ucraine. And apart from this he is a very very nice fellow. Mr Witcoff should spend a night or 2 in Kijew and watch peaceloving glider bombs hitting hospitals with children inside. Witcoff further did not know what and where the area is that Russia has already invaded and further thinks they should be Russian anyway because people there voted for exactly that in a vast majority. They did but what would you do if somebody holds a gun to your head? The US at the moment looks like a hopeless case, but there is the medieval warrior Bernie Sanders on the warpath. The Democrats should make him their temporary leader til they found somebody else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I use my lunchbreak to look further into Donald`s plans to conquer more territory, let us look upon Greenland where Donald knows are precious minerals by millions of tons which he hopes to steal from them in some way. I am not sure if Donald knows that there is a lot of ice on top of what is Greenland. The thickest ice ever. Anybody who wishes to explore the mineral is by the way free to do so right now providing he owns a license which is not difficult to get. Some are there. The big problem is that according to the local government it takes no less that 15 years til the first mineral can be shipped somewhere. You got to dig through the ice and then further into frozen ground, after you have built a harbour and some roads. Through the ice again. Very very tiring. And finally you have to charge your customers for all this. Risky risky. Maybe I send Donald a mail to make him aware of that, I am always helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Many protests across 'merica - at Tesla places, at townhall meetings that republicans are too frightened to attend, veteran places, Canadian Border (both sides) etc etc etc AOC and Bernie Sanders draw huge, (yuuge) crowds in an anti oligarchy tour across 'merica. Louis DeJoy Trump's mate in charge of the post office quit and ran away. And this latest for f*cks sake!!! read and weep This most egregious — became public Monday when Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, revealed that late last week he was inadvertently added to a group chat planning military strikes in Yemen involving accounts that appeared to be Vice President JD Vance, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, national security adviser Michael Waltz and other top officials. War Plans - Including particulate details of same. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, resorted to the tried and true, claiming journalist was being disgusting and is discredited. So why did you add him to the Signal txt chat Pete? Are you a f*ckwit? The Trump Administration Texted Me Its War Plans and LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 The Trump government is the greatest attack on the US since Pearl Harbour. And since Pearl Harbour sounds somewhat logic because a hostile country tried to damage an enemy, it is now a bunch of idiots attacking their own country. These are wise words, aren´t they? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
