The Short Emergency
Hey, it seems as if JHK’s doom prediction is coming true in Italy: trucks are blocking highways and such since gas costs too much, the entire system can collapse, goods don’t get to stores, all kinds of subsystems fall apart, etc.
Cool, instant disintegration of the society, economy and all in a jiffy, just one small strike can demolish a part of the “first world”, a part of the “EU”, etc.
So it was never going to be a Long Emergency, but a quick and simple falling apart of everything from one moment to the other: and everyone will beat up and fight each other over nothing and everything!
Way to go, the end result will be chaos, confusion, winners and losers, the same old crap a stone age APE Man Brain has been performing since the dawn of time.
But the most interesting aspect is how all the theories, all the blocks of texts, all the new rules, and precisions and debates, years long studies, all of this huge BS about what to do, how to do, what are the “reasons”, the structure of the economy, the OWSers, the Tea Party, all of this huge BS, the theory, the debates, the politics, everything is just worth a big fat ZERO, simply NOT APPLICABLE (actually never was applicable).
It is a very Short Emergency, everything will fall apart just like a glass that falls on the floor and breaks up in so many pieces, end of story, so will the economy, society, structures all. A one bit story, a very short story, a very short emergency, end of story.
Now, go on, keep on constructing, theories, new rules of society, right or wrong, left or right, who is good and bad, what to do, this structure, theory economy, this other and so forth: all a waste of time and not applicable.
