The Exigent Duality

Who in holy hell is worried about pollution of the freaking ocean? Or any of the "environmental" ones for that matter? This is what happens when kids are shoved through over a decade of brain washing.

Back when I was in elementary school in the 1980s, they spent hours every month trying to terrify us about the "hole in the o-zone layer". I called BS on it when I was a six year old, and sure enough I haven't even heard the "o-zone layer" mentioned probably since 1989.

These environmentalist bozos are human-hating Communists. Their fear mongering track record is beyond abysmal, because their "predictions" are rooted in ideology, not science.

I already did a list of my biggest worries. Cross-referencing my list and theirs, not a ton of overlap: "World War" doesn't appear until spot 12, with no mention of China specifically; "economic collapse" is number 15, followed by "widespread unrest" at 24; "North Korea" is in spot 30; no mention of "Cultural Marxism", although "Antifa" shows up at spot 71.

I'd put a million Fed bucks, not like that'll be worth anything soon, on my list being way more predictive than this silly poll's output.

Nuclear armageddon with China, who cares? A total collapse of the financial system, shoving hundreds of millions into poverty? Meh. But a couple of dolphins getting the trots in the local harbor... now that's some scary stuff! No question that this is the second scariest thing in the universe in 2018!

On an unrelated note, go play around with this "anarchist creator" calculator, and see how furious you get.

For my part, between all levels of government they are confiscating $2200 per month from me in protection racket money-- and that's just my half of the "FICA" taxes! And it's at gun point for sure: if I could snap my fingers and give them $0 per month, I'd do it in a heart beat. I'd go private security, private dispute resolution, toll roads, and a couple hundred bucks a month to a private coalition just to line up a bunch of troops and missiles at both coasts to prevent invasion.

As soon as the houses are paid off, which will be in about ten years, I'm going to take the lowest possible paying job, to minimize the amount of money they get out of me. Besides that, I'm not sure my current life style is worth the stress of my stupid ass "corporate America" career. Especially when the State is taking a match to 31 cents of every dollar I earn in said career.
