"Good times" (such as since "effective reconstruction of europe postWWII") produce "experiments in governance" like democratic socialism and it's variants. That shouldn't be a surprise, as "a comfortable household" tends to produce "spoiled insolent brats" that love to rebel simply "to rebel".Weiseth wrote:I dont know the future, I'm just postulating as well, but Europe is deeply polarized as it was before. And any conjecture needs to take that into account.
EVERYWHERE right now is "deeply polarized". That is blatantly obvious, and really only needs restating just to be oratorically thorough.
..or restated to make one's opponent look dimwitted by implying they don't realize that obvious fact.
I tend to agree with you,.. pretty much,.. I think.As for Your other postulation it's very interesting the only other thing I would argue is that I'm not sure human rights would be the same in that scenario. The current human right or perspective on "humanity" comes from socialism and gnosticism, and the adherents to this philosophy is dying off and the leftists are taking it more to the Extreme into the realm of insanity and fantasy such as they argue now that every person has the right to government subsdized good housing, clothes and commodities. And that's not taking all the ludicrious notion of a pure clean energy economy into account.
Regardless of where the current "touchy-feely" Politically Correct tyrannically applied version of "Human Rights" theory comes from, the fact is that "high-risk subsistence-level survivalist" conditions will always produce "Zombie Apocalypse" mode "human rights" theory and practice.
Now, that doesn't mean that ANYONE should actively encourage the freakin' apocalyse, simply because that is the act of someone who has already devalued their own life's value rather drastically, and nobody likes to see that kind of desperation (ie DESPAIR, hopelessness) from anyone.
Reacting appropriately DURING the zombie apocalypse is one thing, and an admirable thing, but actively willing such a condition on the planet (humanity) is not to be admired.
..and, YES, the comicbook physics of "Pure and Clean Unlimited Lemony Fresh Energy" is rather delusional.
Damned Orcs..!! Let's hope the great wave of bio-mutation that would follow massive nuclear war doesn't result in any damned Orcs. Mostly due to the fact that if there are Orcs, there HAVE to be Eldar (Elves), and the "Annoyance of the Elves" would be utterly intolerable.As Mr Xenakis said, I hope to read Your work as well, very interesting. The hordes and Warlords reminds me of the aftermath of the dark age of Technology in the 40K universe.
