    I’m not sure about that last part. While it may prove useful in the event of a climate collapse scenario I have doubts as to its purpose being so forward-thinking. The USA is white supremacist, built on slavery, the perpetrator of genocides and born from imperialism. Such a state turning its tools inwards is probably just the natural progression of things.

      I think it would be mistake to think that these things weren’t being planned for or that the highest levels of Western governments aren’t climate collapse aware, even if the public-facing rhetoric is all about climate change being a hoax or whatever bullshit is being spun to make sure the average American isn’t (rightfully) extremely alarmed at the situation. The highest echelons of the Western militaries have been planning for climate collapse scenarios for decades. Although it’s definitely correct to say that even without a collapsing biosphere that these tools of imperial control would have eventually turned inward anyway.

      Yeah it was probably inevitable but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a plan

      The real smoking guns are the convictions for financial crimes including insider trading around 9/11 because how in the hell was there any insider trading if no one knew about it but unfortunately 99% of boomers obsessed with this shit are stuck on “muh steel beans couldn’t be melted by fet jule”
