Weimar Meets Waterloo

- James Howard Kunstler -

Monday morning guys, and the predictible Luddite blather from Kunstler. Every week he re-works his speil like Goebbels in the Ministry of Propaganda. But instead of demonizing Jews he targets industry and industrialists. This week he says:

"My own guess is that the industrial experience itself was a peculiar experiment rife with treacherous self-amplifying feedbacks that the participants were not prepared for..."

"To put a finer point on it, industrialism (and all its digital offshoots) may not be a permanent feature of the human condition."

"I happen to think we're at the end of this anomalous era because we've run through the material resource base."

"All the stuff we erected to live our lives in - the stupendous armature of highways, strip malls, suburban houses, skyscraper condos, sewer systems, electric grids - is beyond our power to repair now. We can only patch it, and that can only work for so long before things go dark. (Can you sharpen a saw blade?)."

So industrialism is the fault of the current mess -- not socialist corruption of the free enterprise system and the edicts of environmental commissars.

So, once again, Kunstler urges a return to a world made by hand and asks the question "...can you sharpen a saw blade?"

But if the whole industrial base is jettisoned where does Luddite Kunstler think he'll get the sawblades to sharpen?
