Looking for something to "ease" the chaos in my brain!!
Future red zone newspaper headline:
I suppose that randomness of environmental "issues" would result from the spectacle of groups of essentially unemployable socialists going for the gold ring of "jobs" that provide them with cover for their agenda (they deeply, deeply care), a paycheck and their cherished cloak of smugness. The hat trick.
Of course, like all good totalitarians everywhere, they need to be backed up by heavy guns; since their victims consistently resist surrendering their rights voluntarily.
No matter though, a couple of more generations' worth of government school propaganda, dilution of what's left of property rights, and public shows of punishment for dissenters - it'll all fall into place quite smoothly.
