I've posted several times on Global Warming threads that one of the major branches of the true GW believers is 'De-Developers'. Too help define them I always say "think Ted Kascinsky".

These are not scientists concerned about grants. These are not Marxists. These are people who are profoundly convinced that man should live in a primitive state like the rest of creation. Or, not live at all.

Well, here is a modern example of a De-Developer:


I don't know what a "de-developer" is but if you have the correct definition: "people who are profoundly convinced that man should live in a primitive state like the rest of creation" that's not what this guy is saying. He's saying we're all toast so might as well make it better for people in the post-human world.

They guy may be a kook but not the kind of kook you're suggesting.

That's correct for the most part, but being liberal used to mean defying the govt, be it King George or Richard Nixon. Now not so much.

Holy shite. I think I'm dumber for reading your BS.

People who actually believe this BS are part of the problem. But go ahead and think that conservatives are tough, manly, hard working, BBQing he men. Whatever helps your self esteem, big guy.

A History Lesson
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals; and
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girliemen.

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.

Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off.


plagiarize much?

I did. The difference is he thinks GW means the end of man is inevitable. He doesn't want that to happen nor that we should live in a primitive state... but that in a few decades we're all gone and there's nothing we can do about it.

Wrong. And since you apparently don't know how to read...

quote:

Instead, he argues, we must look to “indigenous” people with their mud and straw huts and hunter-gatherer lifestyles as an example of how to live out our final days on Earth. Indeed, McPherson himself claims to live in “a straw house in the middle of the woods surrounded by animals” and says that nothing short of the total collapse of human civilization will slow the imminent destruction of our world. “I work toward collapse,” McPherson says in an essay on his website.


It's the same as Ted. Sorry VB, you lose again. Like always.
