The U.S. Empire is collapsing. And its Mortalist (Extremist) Capitalism – a regression to robber-baron jungle capitalism — is in freefall. It is our last hope to escape the apocalypse of Global Warming, which science has shown is caused mostly by Capitalist Industrialization.
Just as almost no one saw the collapse of the Soviet Empire, so too most today are blind to the U.S. Empire and its global-heating Capitalism’s dramatic meltdown. Although it’s happening right before our very eyes.
What we’re seeing since 2009 is no garden-variety economic crisis. It is not only not going away, it is intensifying. The Empire is in its death throes. And so is the Mortalist Capitalism which spawned it.
The unraveling of the U.S. Empire and the rejection of Capitalism — the only ism in all of human history which can be blamed for destroying the planet – will continue without letup until it has fully run its course.
This is our prediction. This is the hopeful news.
But here’s the dark caveat to this prediction.
If The Great Collapse does not happen soon enough, or is not total or abysmal enough, then there is no hope or future for humans on this planet.
Why? Because the clock is five minutes to midnight on the overriding issue of Global Warming (Global Heating). We are running out of time, period.
If we still put up with a U.S. Empire with roughly 5% of the world’s population spewing out an obscenely disproportionate amount of carbon emissions, and refusing to do anything, one of the few rogue states (including the Vatican) which has not even signed the token Kytoto Accords, then we are indeed cooked as a species.
In that case, we don’t have a prayer to postpone, much less prevent, Global Heating’s nightmares from materializing into our everyday reality in the very near future.
And we the people — especially those who call ourselves ImmorTalists — must hold all the Mortalist Regimes and their Death Societies wholly and completely responsible for this most heinous Crime. A crime not merely against humanity, but against every species suffering or at risk for the ongoing Sixth Great Extinction. Truly the mother of all crimes since it is against Mother Earth herself.
