This should be no surprise to readers of the Diner. All going like clockwork now, just as we discussed.
RE
Are we sure this isn't just howling over the moon? Again?
I didn't think we were easily mistaken for the 'cant wait to shoot me some coons' crowd.
Good thing we weren't talking about "shoot me some coons" but rather the claim of how folks bitching about an oil field who don't know much about oil fields is suddenly somehow relevant to the horrific ongoing collapse that can't stop global population growth.
Oilfields were mainly talked about in context of not being sustainable: The United States has proven reserves equivalent to 4.9 times its annual consumption. This means that, without imports, there would be about 5 years of oil left (at current consumption levels and excluding unproven reserves).
Only by folks who first must pretend that ANYONE else thinks they are sustainable. I agree that won't be ANY diners, for while they might know nothing about basic industry operational procedures, they all know that oil is a depletable natural resource.
Unless you are implying that YOU didn't know these obvious things, and therefore qualify as someone who pretends oil fields were sustainable? Ever?
The Standing Rock protest of a pipeline got talked about, a sure sign of things like disrespecting native reservations and endangering rivers and lakes.
The Standing Rock protest was a wonderfully publicized NIMBY exercise, with some great branding along the way. The thing I often found so fascinating when watching videos of the interviewers and people in the camps was the number of diesel trucks, generators, propane fired cooking gear all used to sustain the camps and haul in the horses to pretend it wasn't a fossil fuel powered extravaganza.
I was amazed by the restraint shown by the federales. I remember the days of Rodney King and Kent State and whatnot, the ability of the cops to not end up with a bunch of bodies on their hands was evidence of quite a change in police behavior, even with the kind of gear they have at their disposable nowadays.
You said u correctly called some statue shooting event in Arizona as not being the beginning of a race war. U said this in context of a claim that there were threads about oilfield protests on the diner and that we said it was 'evidence of ... well.. something?'
You do not remember what it was claimed to be evidence of by anyone because it never happened as I just told you. At least name the place and timeframe these oilfield protests supposedly occurred.
There is no point mentioning the race war claims which are always being made by white supremacist racists every time they see the status quo in their favour slipping away, as we all know they are empty fantasies. The only point in priding yourself on that is in connecting it to us and again, it never happened. Nobody on DD said this incident would spark a race war. The event was probably after DD moved to GC anyway.
You must have missed the whole BLM movement and ongoing Rodney King type incidents for the George Floyd's of the world, three decades after Rodney King. Heres the restraint of a saint at standing rock by your recollection, but yes compared to the massacre at wounded knee and trail of tears, the Lakota got off lightly this time.

Unless you are implying that YOU didn't know these obvious things, and therefore qualify as someone who pretends oil fields were sustainable? Ever? The only person to say anything like that was you, specifically that there was around 200 yrs of oil left. The only person saying anything about basic industry operational procedures is also you, although Roamer/Nick did work on drilling rigs. The rest of us not knowing or claiming to, being evidence of something?
