What is the point of knowledge for its own sake? What is the point of reading the same make-no-eff-difference stuff over and over again? What is the point of writing similar stuff.
I've always been one for sudden clear-outs. Feeling strong vibes to clear-out this account.

How come nobody told me about the crane head shaped halberds of Bronze Age Ireland? A lot of speculation here I suppose, but thought-provoking from Galway community Heritage, and currently at @nmireland.bsky.social' Dead Zoo Lab in Dublin.

Read this. There will be more of this and worse. And as collapse affects *YOU* more and more, prepare for your silence on this issue - don't rely on the fantasy that you will be one of the handful who, across history, have risked their freedom, safety, lives to do the right thing.

I've just read a heart-breaking thread by a regular doomer poster here.
I don't want to say what I am going to say here in direct response to them because that would be cruel.

This thread is raw. But if you don't understand that liberal democracy is dying because the world that birthed it (fantastically productive, ff fueled, resource resplendent capitalism WITH the history of modern West) is dying, if you don't understand that the post-Great Depression/post-WW2
You know, if you think a racist, overweight grifter with two perfect ears is the problem, he's not. He's the symptom. We're ALL the fucking problem. People are losing SNAP benefits (people are going to starve to death, in other words) because we just don't give a fuck as a species. That's all.

Suspect this may be male-focussed - are males the ones getting the meat? So, likely also female patterns of sharing. But, nevertheless, still suspect this is the bottom line re. humans - when times get tough, charity begins and stays at home.

I think I know why "doomer" accounts are often becoming real drag - it's the effers in the comments. Here's a selection -

Again, fragile response - an historian stating authoritively that "bad" times do come to an end. Of course. I mean Nazi Germany came to an end - after a World War. But can't stand to be told that they are way out of their depth with the biggest, baddest time of all (human) time.
Think this is an example of needing to stay in your lane, thinking about the limits of your expertise and seeing a *much* bigger picture.
