This is a lightly edited e-mail reply to a former reader who told me about Michael Moore's new documentary dissing Green Energy.
Hi ___,
I don't care anymore about "green energy". That was always bullshit anyway. The biosphere is still fucked, though it will be fucked a little more slowly due to the suicide of the United States and Europe in response to the pandemic. The economy here in America has basically collapsed. About 33.5 million people in the U.S. have filed for unemployment benefits in the last 7 weeks. That's much worse than what happened at the beginning of the Great Depression. And there will be far more damage. Just wait. Most small businesses are closed now and many of those will close permanently in the next few months.
This was was totally unnecessary and all the science we need to tell us so is online for anyone to read. There is more such science everyday.
I call humans "self-defeating fuck-ups" but this was the Biggest Fuck-Up in human history, a catastrophe that will badly affect countless millions of people for a decade or more. And basically, it was all for nothing because almost all of those who have died were >70 years old, or had pre-existing conditions (co-morbidities) which made them vulnerable to the virus. There was hardly any risk at all for anyone under 60 years old without pre-existing vulnerabilities. This was known well before the West destroyed the economy to curb the spread of the virus.
What the fuck? Well, my expectations for civilization were very low already, but somehow, humans managed to exceed my expectations in the wrong direction — Homo sapiens fucked up much worse than even I thought they could.
Finally, to be clear, this was entirely a human-created disaster. The virus either 1) came out of a Wuhan research lab (likely) or 2) came out of a Wuhan wet market (unlikely), and then the fucking Chinese leadership (CCP) — I really hate those Nazi assholes — covered it up, "disappeared" doctors who wanted to warn us, let infected people fly all over the world, covertly hoarded medical supplies all over the world, and have continued to lie over and over again right up to the present day. They deserve whatever they get. Fuck, this could lead to World War III.
And then hysterical but self-important epidemiologists and politicians took the ball and ran with it. Those so-called health "experts" ran models predicated on hysterical assumptions based on no good data at all.
And the rest will be history...
best,
