I agree. I was talking mass politics and unfortunately the left took up “Climate Change” or previously known before the propaganda rebrush “Global Warming”.

In 1100 AD it’s been reveiled the entire Eastern coast of Australia suffered a 37 year drought, the longest now on record, from Ice core data. That’s a record full stop, farmers have heard of 5 or 10 year droughts in the outback, the coast of Green Eastern Australia is unheard of, which makes it more unfathomable in the masses imagination.

Mother nature always has surprises for us that we can’t plan for.

The water shortage in the west is real and growing. If trends continue for a few more years, its likely that major cities will be hit with water rationing. I’m not arguing this from the “anthropogenic climate change” position. Natural long-term cycles are at play and the climate is always changing. If there is a catastrophic human influence in this I have yet to witness it beyond the minor local influences you may see in a megalopolis like LA/Shanghai/etc with the micro-climates they develop.

Environmentalism has been a failure for the left. I don’t see environmentalism in the future as being a liberal issue. Most people with a stake in natural abundance live in rural areas and their values are at odds with the metro-intelligentsia.

I disagree, conserving nature using emotionally driven green ideology has in the last 40 years been the only breaks on building more dams and water pipe lines. This then has an alternate effect on the price mechanism, making water expensive, forcing restrictive laws for water use and an effective brake on mass population explosions of barrio’s or shantie towns. Notice the more Liberal green progressive states/countries have these environmental and water allocation laws, which effectively uses the price mechanism to increase the price of housing and food. Water laws are only one of the many that progressive policies use to create the postcode whitopias.

The conservative flip of the coin is the economic liberal man, who leads our current racial color blind dismemberment, charging right into the abyss with out a second thought. Economic liberal man or even classical liberal man pending on beliefs, should not be apart of neoreaction.

Both sides of politics should be pushed to neo reaction simultaneously, different tactics should be used to coerce both sides. The liberal green progressives should be pushed towards population realism, carrying capacity, and even racial realism using the most acceptable examples, one being the Tibetans and Chinese…
White Nationalism should be used to push the tea party and conservative side of politics to the same conclusions, rather then using the emotionally green driven politics of climate change, it being just another out growth of the typically ethnomasochist progressive. Using the underground “Climate Skeptics” and upholding the science that the “Climate Alarmists” deny even exists. That’s right the Ice age thesis still holds far greater weight, other wise “Climate Skeptics” wouldn’t have such an easy time debunking “Climate Change” mysticism… Of course weaving crusty conservative environmentalism of carrying capacity, population realism, and race realism just comes naturally to WN.

To form a third way, an alternative political force, which will forge a new political party, neoreaction should look to both sides of politics for potential votes and comrades.

In some ways, I am happy to see neoreaction engaging environmentalism, but I hope we can go above and beyond the “grim green” literature of the American West. Reisner’s book accurately portrays the scarcity of water, but fails to take seriously the potential for reform, especially market-based reform. Since the book was published, trade in water rights has continued to allocate water more efficiently, and to higher-value enterprises. Vast tracts of agricultural land have been replaced with housing. New residential neighborhoods, once irrigated to jungle-density, are now typically xeriscaped. Some of this voluntary or regulatory, but the trend should be attributed primarily to the price mechanism. The Greens approached water as moral, and quasi-religious, issue. Gnon brushed these moralisms aside. Neoreaction should not make the same mistake. Water scarcity poses a hard upper limit on the population of the West, but very little risk of catastrophic collapse. The West’s population increase has been a function of cost of living. When the water is fully-subscribed, it will simply become a most-costly and less-attractive destination. Neoreaction should approach environmental issues without adopting the treehuggers’ romantic/apocalyptic (and not coincidentally false) narrative.

Catastrophe in AZ’s Valley of the Sun grows nearer every day. Residential development continues at a brisk pace despite the seemingly inevitable collapse of the water supply. I think about the vast retirement communities filled with hundreds of thousands of clueless senior citizens–most of whom have never known a moment of deprivation in their lives. What happens when their taps run dry?

Prepare for rioting, chaos and communism. Terrifying.

Latin American countries also seem particularly unable to handle economic inequality. Any level of substantial growth is usually accompanied by setbacks via loss of regime legitimacy. Even in Chile, the country is having a hard time repelling student movement protests. The Chilean “Che Guevara” Camila Vallejo, who represents the Communist Party, won a seat in Parliament after receiving 44 percent of the vote in the Santiago district of La Florida. The fact that Chile is doing incredibly well economically doesn’t seem to hit home.

So, what’s the consequence for North America? I think we’re likely to see Occupy-style movements bolstered by any SWPL-esque kids of Latin American immigrants. This point needs to be explored further.

I’m afraid “Brazilification” is optimisitic. “Mexification” is more accurate, and worse. My theory is Mexico is the worst place in Latin America, because it combines the worst aspects of Latin American and North American culture. Latin America proper has a lot of problems, primarily violent social conflict, but it has its good points and works in its own way. Mexico and Central America, the source of most of our current immigrants, is violent, corrupt and dysfunctional as only Venezuela is on the South American continent.

The Latin American racial ideology is the “La Raza Cosmica”, that all the races are mixed into one race, which helps brush aside racial grievances. I don’t think they have any affirmative action, for example. The North American racial ideology combined with a huge non-white population is a recipe for disaster.

I’ve noticed this also, in fact I’ve met old greenies with the most racist attitudes I’ve ever heard. They’re like White Nationalists who’ve infiltrated the environmental movement.

Really pleased to see Social Matter interacting with Cadillac Desert. The social and political implications of the geography of the American West are widely ignored and will brutally reassert themselves unless current trends (of many kinds) change.
