RE: "The Hijacking of Green" -- From Beauty and Biodiversity to Fakery and Fascism

You have a good grasp of the political realities extant, but have made no mention of the extensive use of psyops and bot posts that have given astroturfed the political field the game is played on. I think Musk estimated Twitter was ~60% bots when he was looking at backing out of the purchase, or appearing to.

The crisis actors and useful idiots that flesh out the tweeting golem aren't potential converts, and I am unaware of any actual people that want to wantonly slaughter spotted owls, despite living in timber land. Real folks, even the red necked loggers hereabouts, are already on the side of the living.

What we need is an agenda they can adopt individually to be secure from corralling in surveillance warrens. Decentralization of the means of production is presently the cutting edge of technological advance in all fields of industry, and particularly agriculture. You mentioned vertical farms, but those scale down even better than they scale up. Using aquaponics, even an apartment dweller in the big city can grow the food they need to eat in a sunny window. Folks without a sunny window can use LED lights to grow food in a garage or even a crawl space under a house. Not only plants, but aquatic life like tilapia and crawdads, which in aquaponics provide the nutrients for the greenery, which the plants filter out of the water, making it usable by the fish again.

Using 3D printers with stock recycled from plastic waste to make the trays, hoses and parts for the aquaponics system has been already done.

What we can do to end overlords, which is what Schwab and his ilk are, is to produce ourselves the goods and services we depend on for our sustenance, and to create the blessings of civilization. While centralized industry became more profitable by boosting economies of scale and increasing the productivity of workers, decentralized industry eliminates parasitic losses using bespoke local production, and the parasites are the overlords.

You don't need to take out a loan to buy your own factory or farm today. You can buy a 3D printer for the price of a good lunch with your family nowadays, and print your farm yourself. Decentralization is the end of Big Everything, from Big Ag to Big Oil. Back in 2008 3D printed solar panels were invented using PET plastic sheets which can be made from water bottles and printed on ordinary inkjet printers.

The real definition of wealth is independent means. Decentralization isn't just real wealth, it's real freedom too. Free people aren't granted freedom. They make it themselves, as free people always have. Today it's as easy as downloading the files off Thingiverse and printing them from recycled shopping bags and water bottles.

Not only will we create our own wealth and freedom by producing what we need ourselves, we'll end the flow of our production to overlords who can only parasitize their wealth when we eliminate parasitic losses from our production. They are the parasitic losses.

Let them get real jobs, eh?

Thanks!

Do you think this makes a difference?
By us few trying to produce?
Against the masses of normies buying big tech/pharma and obeying to this socialistic fascism?

When the herd runs off the cliff, the survivors are the few that didn't.

You might note that eliminating parasitic losses increases productivity more than economies of scale, and outcompetes centralized industry. As people profit more by making their own goods and services, people that want to profit more from their work will follow their lead.

Like a leaky dam, the flood starts as a trickle. Every radical change in history began with one person. That's the only way change can happen.

So, yes I do think adopting and demonstrating a more profitable paradigm will make a difference. It will make all the difference.

Great points and great solutions, thanks again!
