Sinofuturism has nothing on Khaleej-futurism. Though I guess based on where Neom is located this is more like Red Sea-berpunk.

I looked up Neom on YouTube to find out if it's same as The Line, yes it's just a rebrand of THE LINE and some how the premise just got stupider. It's not just a line city that run across the entire country, but it's mirror building now. I don't want to spend any thought on it, none of the ppt pretender look like it has put in any actual engineering or architecture effort behind them. It's just stupid video game cut scene prerender.

No youtuber even bother to make a video about the outdoor snow ski area because it just sound too much of a scam. Like Star Citizen plus hyperloop times 1000

it was in a cold, dry place so while there was no natural snow to start out (i half-remember it snowing heavily during a biathlon event) they could run snow cannons without any problems

Beijing winter olympic has steel mill towers, which automatically make it a memorable olympic. Winter Olympic is not real Olympic anyway. Good job on IOC selling the gimmick to the tropical countries.

Yep. The "3rd World" was always going to be who "sacrificed" in the end. I hate the liberals and europe so much.

In fact!

Mr Hootington posted:

You don't seem to understand that it would cause supply side economic shock that could not be fixed by "brrrrrring" more. It doesn't matter to me if you all collectively slit your throats.

It does matter to me when Europe and north america scramble to steal more energy from africa, south america, middle east, and the rest of asia. Those areas are already being hit by destabilizing food security issues.

In the long term this is good. Bengaldesh is already building Russian nuclear plant. Soon they will sign up for more Chinese NPP. At the mean time, Europe is buying more and more expensive LNG from the US, I which make it too expensive to operate energy intensive heavy industry in Germany, which will accerlate the great deindustrization of the European Union.

The truth of the matter is, even if the Europeans had a magic wand with which to solve all their energy issues, they would STILL be obliged to gently caress with the energy supply going to the Global South to prevent them from accessing energy as cheaply as Europe used to have it, because that's how you keep the Global South down and compliant.
