So Kunstler is all-in for the Donald as least-harmful. 'Nuff said, in my opinion.
He sounds pro-Trump indeed; another idiot cultist. That loses me completely.
-- he lost me when he was fantasizing about a post oil apocalyptic Turtle Island. He has a clear bias against suburbia. Not that l much care 4 suburbia, being a city dweller myself, but l can see certain advantages 2 being caught in suburbia after an apocalypse, such as those large yards which can be used 2 grow food. Not that we city dwellers can't grow our own food if necessary, but we would have 2 get creative about it. He must also be a Trekker bcuz he thinks the best place 2 ride out such an apocalypse is the same place where Zefrem Cochrane invented warp drive- the mountains of Montana where the soil is bad & the growing season short. He writes off the South as a place where deplorables are killing each other w/their guns. He 4gets about Southern Hospitality- as long as ppl aren't encroaching on somebody else's turf, Southerners will probably be cool about it & even help each other along. The growing season is much longer in the South than in Montana, & in addition 2 food, some of those yards could be used 2 grow cotton, which will be useful as clothing fibers start 2 rot from use & age. The South is also home 2 Foxfire, not the browser, but a collection of old timey skills such as cloth spinning & weaving, woodworking, pottery, etc.. which will be useful in rebuilding a civilization. ln short, l read CN articles 4 my own amusement & post them 4 yours. That said l missed this offering when it 1st came out:

l have 2 admit l tend 2 agree w/the 1st 2 paragraphs. The only poll worth anything is the 1 taking place on Nov 3rd. These other polls can be manipulated by parsing the questions so that whoever's paying 4 the poll gets the results they paid 4. Also their sample sizes are rediculously small- 1000 ppl or (usually) less out of a potential 150,000,000 voters. Those ppls can also be manipulated- 4 instance if l tell them l'm not a Dem they'll say "thank you" & click. *Likely voters* are the jokers of the pack- they may or may not show up 2 vote. Meanwhile Orange Thang has a rabid cult following that will turn out in a blizzard 2 vote 4 him- if they think he's *behind* they will double down & get everybody they know & then some 2 turn out & vote 4 their gawd. lnfact l think those fake polls & media hype actually help the Orange Thang- ppl who dislike him who also but don't want 2 vote 4 a senile old child molester will vote alternative, leave the top line blank, or just stay home
as 4 the rest of the article-- pure amusement
