Tornado Alley (PROG)

I haven't researched it enough to understand exactly what the Chinese version is like...

Nor do I have all the answers, but the reading I've done suggests Dugin is interested in making subsistence farming available to all. Kind of the way things were in the 1930s Soviet Union. You're saying the Chinese version would be different? Hard to say. The Great Cultural Revolution, which in good part entailed sending intellectuals and business people to the interior to practice subsistence farming, was not all that long ago, and could happen again.

One of the most fascinating things about the Great Awakening that Dugin describes is this idea that humans are going to be replaced in the future by AI.

WOW!! What an INCREDIBLY creative idea! So boldly new!! The machines take over!! Who would ever DREAM of such a thing??

We limit population growth through abortion convince young people to cut off their sexual organs (it's working because now among young people it's now 5% trans) basically a slow slide towards Extinction as we are replaced.

Oooooohh!! Somehow I suspect those young people will find they prefer to spend their lives dealing with the drudgery of subsistence farming than engage in the kind of self-mutilation you apparently fantasize about.

Ahhh yes, the amazing Moscow Subway. Construction on the first line was begun in 1935. The technology employed was great. The trains ran much faster than those used by the New York Subway. So it was all a propaganda victory for Joe Stalin. But the staggering vulgarity of the stations reminds me of... Donald Trump's gilded shitters. There is, however, a difference: Trump's golden thrones impress only him. The Moscow Subway's stations impressed every working class person who saw them. That made it easier to keep 'em in line.

Maybe just maybe we could learn something from their philosophers on how to create a society like this.

You are truly amazing, Bolshie. Literally NO ONE wants to reproduce the "culture" of the Soviet Union in the 1930s. For most people, life was NOT good. Except, perhaps, for party leaders and the serfs who still practiced subsistence farming.

Are you sure YOU aren't AI? An AI Guy who hasn't learned nearly enough to be plausible as a human yet?
