This is an explanation of this group, written by someone else.
Here’s my explanation of this group, written by me:
WYFP? means, What is Your F-ing Problem.
It’s a joke, because, traditionally, when someone speaks that phrase, it’s an angry, verbal attack. “What’s your f-ing problem!??” means, “Why are you annoying me?!?”
But here at Daily Kos, we are all about puppies and kittens, and we express mostly concern, and a desire to give each other emotional support.
So, when we ask that question in this Saturday night series of diaries,
we are truly asking if you have any problems you want to tell us about, and we will be your sounding board, your group therapy group, your peer support group.
Indeed, as the sign board above says, “May we find peace and healing here.”
My problem is, even though I have been warning folks for years, about the famine I refer to in the title of this diary, I see very little agreement, very little of folks saying,
“Yes, bigjac, you are so right. I need to set up a self-sustaining farm, for the future generations of my family, and I need to do it, right away. Thanks again, bigjac.”
I don’t get a lot of that.
To summarize what will cause the famine:
Shortage of oil,
(All oil wells run dry, eventually, right?)
causing
a shortage of diesel fuel,
which the farmers and such need for the
tractors,
combines,
trucks, and
trains.
This shortage of diesel fuel will cause a shortage of food.
When the shortage of food gets severe enough,
the grocery stores and eateries will shut down, to avoid getting shot and killed for the little food they have.
Then everyone will starve and die,
which only takes about two months,
and the only survivors will be those living on self-sustaining farms.
Now.
When I read things like this:
theauthoritarians.org/…
Our country will be destroyed someday if we do not smash the perversions eating away at our moral fiber and traditional beliefs.
That is a question on a survey.
Those who strongly agree with this statement, and similar statements, those folks have a serious personality disorder, called authoritarian follower disorder:
Authoritarian followers usually support the established authorities in their society, such as government officials and traditional religious leaders. Such peoplehave historically been the “proper” authorities in life, the time-honored, entitled,customary leaders, and that means a lot to most authoritarians. Psychologically these followers have personalities featuring:
1) a high degree of submission to the established, legitimate authorities in their society;
2) high levels of aggression in the name of their authorities; and
3) a high level of conventionalism.
(I encourage you to click on the link, and read the whole book. It’s not much longer than certain Daily Kos diaries.)
When I read things like this, I think,
Wow!
This is it!
Along with the information from the woman named Bitecofer,
who explained that we have, in America,
a block of voters who always vote for Republicans,
and a smaller block who always votes for Democrats,
and a third block of voters who often do not vote,
but when they do,
they vote for Democrats,
that information,
plus this information about the authoritarian followers,
that explains American elections.
The folks with that severe personality disorder,
they always vote, and always for Republicans.
I feel a desire to explain and preach this to everyone,
to inspire those who often fail to vote,
to tell them, “America needs you,
to rescue us from the voters who have a terrible personality disorder.”
But then, I remember the coming famine.
Then, because the famine overshadows everything else,
I feel I should ignore all that about American voters,
and just preach about self-sustaining farms.
Ignore elections.
Preach prepper farms.
Another topic, religion and philosophy:
We all need a friendly, teamwork, attitude,
to benefit ourselves and our families, and anyone we interact with.
That is the sum total of all philosophy.
All religion is a distraction of fairy tales.
The fairy tales usually have useful lessons, when read as parables, not true stories.
Even true stories need to be seen as parables, to apply a lesson to your own life.
But everyone, after becoming atheists, with a friendly teamwork attitude,
they all need to keep gathering in extended family style congregations,
at their church buildings and other buildings,
minus the supernatural beliefs.
I want to preach that idea, I truly want to.
But then I remember, the coming famine.
Skip the philosophy.
Sound the alarm about the famine.
And the most frustrating topic:
The climate crisis.
The climate change will not kill billions.
When the farmers in China and India, and other places, find they cannot grow the same volume of the same crops on the same land,
there may well be millions who starve and die,
but not billions.
When the farmers of Africa and South America and other places try to swarm into America,
many of them may be killed.
But not billions.
But here at Daily Kos,
many folks suggest that the effects of climate change will be so severe,
that humankind will become extinct.
Extinct.
We humans have been around for at least one hundred thousand years,
and we will still be around for another one hundred thousand years.
Millions may die from climate change.
Billions will die from the coming famine.
But those who live on self-sustaining farms,
will survive.
One more time:
Get yourself some land,
a few acres may do,
and set up greenhouses,
raised bed gardens,
to produce whatever you want to eat,
and you and your family,
including future generations,
will survive.
Other topics, topics that are important in themselves,
all those other topics,
get so much attention, here at Daily Kos,
and in the rest of the world, as well.
But my warnings, about the coming famine, get:
Crickets.
mostly crickets.
That is my f-ing problem.
Thanks for reading.
And, tell us about your problems.
Your turn.
