Second World War-style rationing of petrol, household energy, and meat could help to "fight climate change," British "scientists" now recommend. (twitter.com)

Yeah only one problem if they're thinking 'well they did it once, they can easily do it again'. Several reasons Britain remained stable during the rationing in WW2:

  1. External threat of the Nazis meant you had a focus of the cause of your struggle

  2. Cultural unity with very low immigration

  3. More focus on self sustainability with food grown/raised on personal property

So this is just an attempt at power grab using nostalgia of a better time even if it was during a war..

No, seriously, try it.

Take away the peoples bread and see what happens. The only reason they've gotten as far as they have is because everyone still has their bread and circus.

I don't know, handshake user SuperPervert69. Would you be so kind as to lead us in the disparagement of whites?

The plan doesn't sound very white to me.

The political establishment has been relentlessly pushing for the mutilation of children's genitals (transgender agenda) and of societal cohesion (unmitigated flood of migrants), and now they're pushing for ruining their own people's standard of living, in order to achieve nothing of value.

If the British don't revolt the moment this "solution" is seriously considered on their Parliamentary floor, then they're utterly doomed.

The rationing also nearly drove the country into near disrepair that lasted decades afterwards. No one was buying so no one made stuff.

I think what I've learned from WW2 is you can kind of run a command economy as long as fervor is high.

But not too high, because then you have loyalty riots.

It would be great if there were actual dials that showed how strongly people felt things. Over in the red? Run it's going to blow. Blue? No one cares.

I'm all for it. But we can't jump right into it. Let's do a test-run. Everyone that wants to push these retarded ideas on others have to live them for two years. No cheat-days no excuses. You live like a peasant in WW2 and then you tell me again that it's the way to go.

Also: If we are to adopt this lunacy you can't go back after two years. This is your life now.

Actually screw that: Everyone that does not publicly and vehemetly oppose this idea has to do the test-run.

  1. No
  2. Let's theorize who would agree to go along with this, would they even ask for 'proof' or experiment parameters? What's the target? We ration for 2 years then global temperature drops by .5 degrees average? There's no measurable goal. This is just a transparent power grab, with no release valve in the future.

It'll help the planet, trust us. Also, we're having a meetup in Macao. You're not invited.

Also the main British 'scientist' who advocated for cov lockdowns, was one of the high profile people who got busted ignoring his own lockdown policy. Twice. Why would .. this is retarded. We live in a retarded reality.

Having no immediate goals or targets worked with COVID. People went along with the stupid quarantines past "two weeks to slow the curve", so now governments know they can get away with anything.

An alternative method would be through the “modernisation of rationing with carbon cards, like bank cards, to keep track of your carbon allowance rather than ration cards”, the study adds. The researchers recommend that people should not be allowed to trade or sell their carbon allowance, arguing: “It is feasible that allowance-based schemes could exist with non-tradable allowances.”

They really want to be involuntarily deleted.
