The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This book is heavily biased pro-america can do no wrong, and with massive blind spots ignoring even the possiblity of resource shortages in America.
The premise of the book is that the "World Order" created by America's Military Industrial Complex is the only thing that makes it possible for nations to be kind to one another. And than if USA leaves an area then the whole world will fall into ruin and disrepair as they will all tear each other to shreds and leave America alone.
The author is under the delusion that American oil supply is forever, and is completely unaware that American shale has pretty much dried up, and conventional passed peak decades ago. He was making projections saying things like "when they enter the workforce in the 2040's" the workforce? What workforce? What the f"ck is he talking about? Can he really be so utterly blind as to believe the current state of masn wage slavery will continue after the oil supply runs out? I donno, it just seems all rather ludicrous to me.
Anyways, this dude is some kind of pie in the sky dreamer super optimist.
I do admit it was a pretty well researched book for the parts it covered. Mostly just demographic collapse, difficult supply chain geography and some effects of climate change.
But he utterly ignored the energy crises, the soil crises, the resource shortages ad naseaum. Like his fantasy world has infinite resources -- othen than young people, so it's really rather worthless as a projection in the real world.
In does have some gems, but the amount of bias and blindness in this book is only worth archiving as an exomple of the extreme hubris that some Americans can fall prey to.
So I'm probably not gonna waste the paper.

ALWAYS DELETE OLD EMAILS!
Did You Know...???
In the USA, Emails Are “Abandoned” After 180 Days
There are many good arguments for cleaning up your email account, even if you’re not particularly concerned about email privacy. But if you are concerned about privacy, know this:
>Emails older than 180 days are considered “abandoned” by the US government. The government can (and has) looked at these emails without a warrant, thanks to the Electronic Communications Protection Act - a law passed in 1986 when electronic communications were very different.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Best way to trade it is in person in exchange for cash. That way, you can avoid KYC cancer.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty People who treat it as an investment are idiots. It's still useful for funding services and content creators that have been deplatformed by payment processors. Anonymous crypto-currencies like Monero are still used in the black and gray markets.
@coolboymew And such wasted fucking potential. Who wouldn't want to see a Buzz Lightyear movie? But Disney had to add their queer propaganda to it.

As far as I've heard, this is fake news as they never even bothered to certify their movie in these countries
This is a last ditch effort to sell a terrible movie

@djsumdog Well, if I was doing it in some place like Bir Tawil (which isn't claimed by any recognized nation) I would definitely film it. But even the president of Liberland has gotten caught doing that shit by the Croatian police even though he is doing it on a fucking no-man's land.

Deranged leftist demands gratitude from the fathers of the babies she aborted. She takes credit for their future success by enabling it via baby killing.
This is the state of the far left. They want freedom to commit infanticide AND they want you to praise them for doing it.
Satan walks among us.

@MelGibsonafter4Beers Good luck finding ammo for that, especially when gunpowder expires after ~80 years.
