Steve Bannon has a "Project 2025" vision for America. In this America the federal government will be mostly concerned with the military and even expansion (look out Greenland and Canada) Expansion is their answer to climate change which they know is real. The other answer to climate change is hardening the US against climate refugees. Not everyone will make it through this coming crisis and these people don't see that as all bad. It's a eugenics opportunity. 1/

The majority of Americans will need to find solace in their religion. College will be only for the wealthy (and for the professionals the wealthy need to maintain their lifestyle.) Corporations and churches will be the primary forces of social order and if you can buy your way into a better enclave you can have a longer less chaotic life. Most people will not live as long. The trick is keeping a majority of people *thinking* they will be inside the gate.2/

The problem is the numbers don't really add up. They need more educated people than the skeleton crew they are envisioning to keep their lifestyles.Further a large segment of the population just won't go for it. We don't want to play house like this. I don't want to live in an Amazon convent singing the corporate hymns. How much of a mess will they make trying to make this happen?3/

@futurebird THIS. I've been saying this for a while now. Canada and Greenland have the largest fresh water reserves in the world...

@Wyatt_H_Knott This is possible. But knowing it's possible and allowing doomerism to take over? There is a fine line. We are able to meet these coming challenges. It's perfectly possible.

@futurebird sounds like the same blueprint of the billionaires building bunkers

@futurebirdThose who do not study history are doomed to repeat it ...The UK had a "night watchman state", beloved of libertarian dingbats and white supremacists, until 1858 (and the "Great Stink" of London, which led to the first huge municipal sewer system). Turns out it's incompatible with an educated, healthy work force, so over the next century we moved towards socialism. (Now the entitled brats are tearing down the system that raised them. Shit repeats.)

@FediThing @DrorBedrack And I, for one, will not even allow anyone to dispose of the actual ants.

@futurebird : just my 2cents - "College will be only for the wealthy (and for the professionals the wealthy need to maintain their lifestyle.)"I can be wrong, but the last time this was true and go back 250 years what did this give us? Hamilton and a bunch of self-study radicals who taught themselves as teenagers & begin smart enough to go to college to do what? Start a revolt.Tyrants always be wary of revolutions but don't know how they start until too late.

@futurebird Having grown up in a fascist country, I can say that fascism always looks stronger from the outside. Internally it is full of contradictions, infighting and more, thus the pressing need to always concentrate on the "other" as the enemy. Facism victorious immediately defeats itself from within, as it needs a continuous fight/war.

@futurebird When this modern fascist take over was beginning, I tried to give people a dichotomy with sustainable vs. unsustainable policy. It was hard to rationalize the right wing passion to only racism and lottery fantasy. Now it is seen the oligarchs don't see themselves as people like the bulk of the world, instead we are some of pool of resource to be exploited. It lines up the oppression and posturing they purvey. The carceral industry may be one example.
