I don’t see how adhay ’s ideas count as nihilism.
Anyone versed in YouTube can tell you that the present exponential increase in population coupled with the soon to come exponential decrease in the availability of oil fueled by the criminal waste of resources (skimmed by their owners-in-arms) in unsocially productive wars will run us ALL into the Ditch, quicktime. Basically, we (the fucking planet) can’t afford the rich.
Change the USA can exemplify to the world?
Once greed is dethroned as virtue, we may progress. I see a cap on net worth tied to minimum wage.
a) Start storing oil. Buy as much as we can, drill responsibly at home and deposit it all in Fuel For Our Kid’s Trust. It’s a limited resource. Let’s name it, claim it and ration it. The rest will follow, 'cause they got kids too.
b) Reduce our usage.
Devote half of our highway lanes to car pools. Hitchiking becomes fashionable, passingthrus are sooner out of town and folks, discovering that they are all in the same boat, will socialize and buy no more car than they need.
Invest heavily in clean alternatives to oil while getting used to rolling brownouts.
The rest? Try me.
Nihilism isn’t making a proposal you don’t think will work or don’t like.
lurking guest ’s idea seem to qualify though; “I propose not replacing government with anything at all…except folks who have something more than their own personal gain at heart.”
