The Law of Historical Precedence

We the politicians, (brought)by the corporations, (working)for

the corporations and of the corporations(cushy jobs afterwards),

agree that our predatory capitalist civilization is increasingly

facing problems not of our own making and not from a severe lack

of sand to bury our heads into(as seen by our acknowledgement of

global warming while denying that humans have anything to do with it).

 No, we can see our true problem by the Law of Historical Precedence.

To wit, our civilization is based on the civilization of Ancient Rome.

When Ancient Rome began to suffer decline they saw the problem,

not that the rich & powerful had a stranglehold on most of the wealth

and resources(when Ancient Rome had originally began as a fairly

sharing republic).

But that once ~ 10% of the population began to follow the eastern

esoteric religion of christianity, that's when things went downhill !

 So once the Ancient Roman Empire began persecuting the christians, then their problems were fixed ...

So the Law of Historical Precedence states that;

The cause of the failure of the BAU dominate paradigm is when a

small percentage of the population stop believing & start doubting

the myth of infinite growth & progress.

 So the modern day solution will be based on Ancient Rome's solution to the

problem, Persecution !

We must persecute the doomers & gloomers,the greenies, the degrowthers & the back to the good old dayers.

But unlike Ancient Rome, today we are more profit-thirsty than bloodthirsty.

 So the punishment of all the people showing antipathy to our

predatory capitalist civilization will be to be experimented on with

new progressive technological developments.

 Greenies will be injected with chlorophyll to make them truly green

colored & able to breath in carbon dioxide & excrete oxygen.

 Poor & homeless will have gene therapy to make them grow a shell on

their backs & be able to eat cellulose such as wood or paper like termites.

 Doomers & Gloomers will have gene therapy so that instead of tears from

their eyes they will mist water vapor from their eyes & so bringing back

the rain from clear felled trees.

 Degrowthers will be made to wear methane collecting nappy’s after being

given a course

of Baby Do Do(TM) poo-biotics to supercharge their excretory systems.

The back to the good old dayers will be made to carry water uphill to

run water mill hydroelectric systems.

And so thus, like the Ancient Romans, our predatory capitalist civilization

will rise to greater glory’s.

Like an oil tanker size mega yacht just for me !
