“The Common Enemy or Humanity Is Man
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”

From DFW weather almanac:
Dec 17, Today’s predicted high 66F low 36F
Daily Data Observed Normal Record Highest Record Lowest
Max Temperature M 57 81 in 1908 35 in 1989
Min Temperature M 38 65 in 1908 14 in 1932
Avg Temperature M 47.6 73.0 in 1908 26.0 in 1932
You know the planet “has a temperature” and is “boiling” when the record highs were set 115 years ago
My favorite anti-collectivist “philosopher” is the self-educated San Francisco stevedore, Eric Hoffer. And my favorite quote (paraphrased) is: “Those whose lives are going well tend to their own business; those whose lives are a mess tend to other people’s business.”
I think that describes the Club of Rome to a tee, as well as, all collectivists.
And they all hate and target those who have been more successful than they, which is almost anyone who has tried to be successful.
The Club Of Rome also concluded in the 1972 report “The Limits to Growth” that humans were the problem.
These Ignoramus and Malthusian Psychopaths were dead wrong at the time and are still dead wrong now but this does not stop them from sputting all this ridiculous nonsense based on pseudo-science.
Humans thrive by virtue of the power of the human mind, which is why menticide is the foundation of this nonsense. The human mind is declared the cause, not the cure of society’s problems. Once they get away with that absurdity, genocide is the next step.
The fat cats resent the power technology has to give all humans a decent standard of living, which was only once available to the few. So they squander vast sums on ostentatious crap, which impresses nobody. They can only assert their inherent ‘superiority’ by keeping the rest of mankind in grinding poverty.
Sounds to like all we need to do is get rid of humanity. Easy peasy.
