All of these globo plans and decisions seem to have their roots in a Scarcity philosophy, as I see it. The belief that the earth can only sustain a certain number, which is utter rubbish. But it seems to underpin everything they do, from the climate change bullshit to the focus on eugenics and transhumanism, to shuttering of major energy projects, and so on.
Belt & Road threatens to upend all that. The BRICS countries aren't having it, by the looks of things. Our side seems to be the culture of death, even though we supposedly advocate freedom. Chinese side seems to be the culture of actually advancing humanity, even though they the opposite of 'free'. Two bad choices, I think that is why the world feels like it is about to end.
