    The first president of Estonia after regaining our independence, was once quoted saying “The situation is shit, but it’s the fertilizer of our future.”

    The meaning is very similar, in that he was saying that the hard times need to be suffered for things to get better, but what’s different between him and the current American administration? Well, for one, the situation wasn’t shit because of his personal ego trade war, it was shit because the economy was shit in every ex-soviet nation for a time. It took time to accustom to independence and free markets. But most of all, he spoke from a place of respect, not one of disrespect. Him saying that was his honesty to the Estonian people. He didn’t lie and say everything would get good quickly. This was also a man you could simply approach publicly and he’d answer your questions. Didn’t need to be a press release and you didn’t need to be a journalist or a celebrity.

    What I’m saying is that dear Americans, your current president and vice president simply don’t respect you.

    So what is the actual strategy at this point? They are being way too bold about this. Like I’m worried they have an escape pod that they’re planning to hop on/fly away while they flip us all off and leave us stranded on a smoldering earth.

      The goal is to cause civil unrest, to declare martial law and violently put down the unrest. To fragment the US into micro nations, tech cities governed by oligarchs, as well as Christofascist Gileads.

      It’s accelerationism, it’s been accelerationism, the weirdos on /pol/ and Mencius Moldbug have been pretty clear on that.

        Well I know that, but how does a statement which actually serves to in-group most of America against the administration actually achieve that?

        Dividing left and right and instigating a civil war fits with the plan. Splintering factions within the left, white collar vs blue collar, college educated vs non college educated, all of that seems to fit with the accelerationist plan. If you don’t keep your base and or military happy though, who fights on behalf of the elite?

    [if] we pursue those energy cost reducing policies…

    I see only energy cost increasing policies, the recent forced shutdown of that 800 MW offshore wind farm, no more land leasing for renewables, policies to increase water pressure (=more energy required for pumps and for treating the water), and so on
