What do you think are the key points that make a society self-sufficient?

Sustainable and local agriculture and without chemicals as to protect the planet.

No more livestock as its not sustainable to keep eating meat and its environmental impact are catastrophic.

Clean energy and energy efficient.

 

the pre oil society will need to change drastically to survive the climate crisis, surpopulation, ect.

Energy sufficient first and foremost.

 

equally important is efficient and sustainable food and pollution reduction/climate protection. Livestock is not efficient, its one of the most important source of pollution on the planet and its not sustainable.

To make a society self-sufficient, energy sufficiency is far more important than anything to do with food and pollution reduction. The only way to make energy production environmentally cleaner is to make it a global concern. Otherwise a society can just offload the waste as an externality with no negative consequences. Since pollution doesn't respect socially constructed borders, this is a global concern.

So now that you've introduced a global context for energy, then it makes sense to introduce global markets for other goods as well. Because locally produced doesn't always mean the most efficient.

 

To bring this back to US politics - the reason a Trump/Cruz/Rubio really any fucking Republican presidency is terrifying is because it moves their rhetoric back to this idea of US exceptionalism.

While the democrats might not be the angels we all want, at least they include the notion that America has to work with a broader array of partners. Of the two real choices for the Democrats, Sanders at least presents something as a policy that will reign in the free ride corporations have had in recent decades (well longer than that really, but it's become much more visible in this latest iteration of globalization).

I posted that on the previous page.

 

he must be utterly unaware of how much this seems like a typical Republican parody. so typical, so hackneyed, that it's come back around to being sincere. it'd be like if Steve Irwin ran for Aus PM and tweeted a pic of VB with the caption "straya (cunt)".

Is there an Official WATMM-endorsed contender for either/both/neither/Bloomberg party? WATMM should vote as a block so that American WATMMers' voices are taken seriously in Congress (or whatever its called, i dunno im not american lol)

he's probably the same dude that many british cooking shows used during the 00's. Probably looked good to the coke addled staffers.
