Again, the start of everything is to talk. That you are not satisfied that the talks are not fast enough, or widespread enough, or whatever doesn't mean what you are claiming.

... That's how things start. You generally talk about things first, you have a conversation, and then you make a proposal. This whole thing seems to be complaining about timing or something. The US went really fast to the actual proposal for some reason, other countries are still talking.

Good evening. Bad morning.

I wish I followed this advice earlier. The way I've heard it was: "When someone tells you who they are, believe them."

You create an outgroup, portray them as subhuman, whip people into a frenzy with propaganda, and you're there.

People are also emotional, you tap into that. Anger and hate are easy emotions.

Not 1. There are 3 OpenTTD communities competing with each other.

What you're talking about (the narcissists that can manipulate it) is the vast minority. For the vast majority, they take its dictations and let it control their life. Whatever it says goes. Religion didn't create itself, but it is now its own being which dictates to people. Most people don't have the capacity to question it.

I disagree. Religion tells people how to act. We can see this through thousands of years.

Ironically China is going to do it, just with trade and mining.

That's the physical structure, not the land.

Bold move Jim, let's see if it pays off.
