I had a professor in grad school who did a lot of fire research and one year he spent a 9/11 lecture showing us the details and results of these simulations. It was fascinating stuff, scores of scientists and engineers spent a lot of time producing that work. It always frustrates me when people get deep in the weeds on the “controlled demolition” poo poo.

people do not want to know or care about how concrete burns and explodes

He came to the anarchist bookstore at the small city i live in to give a talk a few years ago. Told a room full of white anarchist that they should consider giving america back to the natives and to go back to europe

been thinking about this. if the political situation in the US continues to deteriorate, seems like a lot of well connected and well off white people in the US are going to flee to the EU. By either buying citizenship outright, digging up family connections, or qualifying with their professional credentials. but they're just going to leave a hollowed out US that will continue to oppress and exploit native nations. and the white people left are going to be too poor to flee, and cling even tighter to their whiteness.

eh, maybe in the short term, but I don't think whiteness survives without the scraps of wealth to make it worth fighting for

it does seem like truanon has taken over chapo's old role of shining light on humanitarian crises that are being ignored otherwise.

I remember the old chapo episode about the teacher's strike in Mexico, but when was the last time they did anything like that?

English speaking, yes you can buy citizenship for like $20 million or something, very very good weather, south island is basically the size of (habited) California but with 1 million people compared to 40 million people, very green and a lot of fresh water, extensive untapped nature, unconnected geographically to anything else, and good fertile soil writ-large that hasnt been scrapped clean for mono-culturral mega-ag. although it relies on imports for doohickies and some supplies and grotesque western consumption lyfe, food-wise it'd could easily be extremely self-sustainable for enough staples even if variety is limited.

e: also the beaches loving own. we had like a 20 mile long secluded beach just all to ourselves to run around nude on the beach. a whole lot of it is just unpopulated entirely. it's both remote/rural but without being actual wasteland sort of thing, like roads are all very nice, infrastructure is pretty extensive, no deadly creatures like australia, etc

If you were capable of moving to New Zealand why in the gently caress would you wait for Trump to win or lose? If I could go to and survive in almost any other country, I would.

Yeah I had the same conversation, two friends who make a fortune and were incredulous I said I'll never vote again and then agreed it's a good thing we're in Illinois so my nonvoting doesn't matter but what if I were in wisconsin! They both discussed leaving the country because their wives are panicked at the thought of trump winning and how it would set things back for them in some undefined way
