Vote in a right-wing government, get more gas production.

"The incoming Dutch government said on Thursday it will aim to expand offshore natural gas extraction and nuclear energy production as part of plans to reduce the Netherlands' dependence on "unreliable countries.""

As if Dutch wind is an unreliable resource.
(You can count on it to blow. Usually in the opposite direction in which you're biking).

@CelloMomOnCars I'm usually tolerant with nuclear (as a technology, not a much as it's use by capitalistic interests), but nuclear plants in the Netherlands... This country is called like that because reasons, and with increasing sea levels...

"The masses have never thirsted after truth. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim." So wrote Gustave LeBon in his 1895 book, "The Crowd - A Study of the Popular Mind". Do you agree with LeBon's bleak assessment?

@Eva_RespectExistence @jwcph @ariadne however, there are many exceptions. See Stalin (de facto dictator) or Franco in Spain. Pinochet could also be a recent but incomplete example.

@ariadne @jwcph not dictatorships, but pretty authoritarian (I'll say that Putin is more close to a dictator but not one -yet-; not so much Jinping)

@MikeDunnAuthor mmm, this is a "yes... But..." case. In developed countries a very substantial proportion of private citizens have a very substantial share of the remaining 30%, and can very significantly influence the other 70% by reducing their consuming habits
The critique is adequate, but the message could be improved.
