SOUTH AMERICAN LEFT IN RETREAT AS ECONOMIC CRISIS DEEPENS
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — After a decade on the advance, the left in South America is in retreat.
Just in the past month, voters in Argentina elected a conservative businessman president over the chosen successor of Cristina Fernandez and Brazil’s congress launched an impeachment probe against President Dilma Rousseff, whose approval ratings have been languishing in single digits.
In perhaps the biggest turnabout, voters in Venezuela, where the region’s leftward shift began, handed the opposition a landslide victory in congressional elections – its first nationwide legislative win since the U.S.-bashing Hugo Chavez won the presidency in 1998.
The backlash comes amid an economic storm of the likes the region hasn’t seen in decades. While all political dynasties are paying the price for broken economies and unchecked corruption, most of South America’s governments are run by leftists who came to power as China’s economy was taking off over the past 15 years, fueling demand for the region’s raw materials.
So Chinese demand for raw materials happened, resources were plentiful, and everyone elected leftists. Now resources are contracting, the leftist rabbit model of government is unsustainable under those conmditions, and everyone is heading rightward.
It is astonishing how r/K explains all of this, and yet promoting it is like pushing molasses uphill. The Cuckservative media doesn’t want to touch it, the leftists can’t take it, and even the Southern Poverty Law Center refuses to draw attention to it by criticizing it.
What do we have to do to get some global condemnation going around here, start a genocidal revolution in Europe?
Now that you mention it…

The biggest problems we face, many of the biggest disasters that we’ve experienced, mostly haven’t come from individuals, they’ve come from organizations, some of them bigger than countries, many of them capable of affecting hundreds, thousands, even millions of lives. So how do organizations think? Well, for the most part, they don’t. And that isn’t because they don’t want to, it’s really because they can’t. And they can’t because the people inside of them are too afraid of conflict.
In a hierarchical bureaucracy you go along to get along, you don’t buck those above you in the Chain of Command. Credibility or confidence is more important than facts. You can’t run a con without the serfs having confidence in you. Government is one big confidence game.
The only perfect limiting factor to growth is energy which enables life to exist. Until the splitting of the atom all energy came from the sun. Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converts it into hydrocarbons and carbon. Some of these stored energies take millions of years to form. Once the stored energy is released leaving carbon dioxide and water the process starts over.
We are expending ten or more calories of stored solar energy to produce one calorie of food which is unsustainable.
I think South America does have a very interesting history of leftists versus rightists, especially in Argentina and Colombia since rightists in those countries had given communists no quarter in several instances. Now the communists act like the victims even though they planned on committing acts far worse than what their right-wing counterparts perpetrated.
AC, it may not be much but I found some slight condemnation on your work from a Something Awful forum. I ain’t sure if you have seen it yet, but here it is:

You’ll have to scroll down until you see Cthulhu mentioning the evo-psych book. From there you’ll read posts from forum members calling it “stupid” and even someone calling you “unbalanced.”
Sigh. Well, it’s not Aurini getting castigated publicly at a UN meeting, but I suppose it is something.
Seriously, thanks for the pick-me-up. The success of this will be directly measurable by the whining that the left is forced to do.
