The World Is Doomed By Western Insouciance

Always take any writer with a grain of salt when they use three names AND are regular contributors to Infowars. Actually, the last part is the most telling, but the three name thing is annoying.

insouciance is a ridiculous f**k word to be in a thread title

[The Comrade]

but it's so lugubrious.

[The Dharma Bum]

well, unfortunately it was the title of the article I used as a source, which I just copied and pasted as the thread title

however it is a perfect descriptor of the dominant attitude in our culture, which is hubris

we don't give a shit about destroying the environment, the culture, or the economy as long as we can satisfy our deepest inner desires, reified as brand name consumer products.

It's typical of cult martyr-worship mentalities. The "enemy" is simultaneously an all-powerful oppressive entity and inherently inferior and morally bankrupt. It's practically an organized religion at this point. Just replace Satan and original sin with capitalism and consumerism, presto, you have Dharma's response to literally any arguement or debate. He long ago identified the real problems from which all other problems flow, everything must fit that framework.
