I’ve enjoyed a lot of what this author has written in the past but honestly I can’t even understand half of this blog post.



Well, it's not very long. This is my best effort summary.

Paragraph 1: There's lots of news

2: US Conservatives [*], and other authoritarians around the world identify with and support Putin. Further they identify with and support fossil energy resource extraction (PREE).

3. PREE are afraid of renewables.

4. PREE + Authoritarians are doing propaganda

5. Authoritarians don't want young adults to vote.

6. The young adults are not in favor of authoritarianism.

7; The old authoritarians will die.

Eight - Elon is in favor of disruptive change.

9ine ~ The disruptive change is going to have consequences.

10: No one likes Twitter.

E11even: Bitcoin is OK, right guys? (sarcasm)

* Not all US Conservatives are authoritarian, just the ones in charge right now. If you are a US Conservative reading this, then you are not an authoritarian, unless you wish to be identified as such.


The blessing and curse of this website is when I make a low effort complaint I get a very reasonable and useful response, which my complaint did not deserve. Aside from any other details, thanks for that csours.

All that said, I still find this to be the kind of thing that probably feels very tight and compelling if you already believe it (and perhaps if you already know what "PREE" stands for), but for someone on the outside (like me) it just seems like a bunch of statements with broad mood affiliation and then the blog post ends.
