Assessing the article "Brexit: stage one in Europe’s slow-burn energy collapse"

Nafeez Ahmed comes as close as anyone in accurately describing the context behind current crises in Britain and France.


I do not see eye-to-eye with his characteristic of the “far right” and some of his claims are assertions and do not carry much in the way of proof.


Just about everyoneI have followed for years, mostly in the Peak Oil movement – from James Howard Kunstler, to Dmitry Orlov and Chris Martenson – to the Saker - almost without exception - would be qualified by the liberal fascists as “far right’


It is of course, not only the collapse of cheap oil that underpins the entire economy that is contributing to all this – but also the climate freight train that is bearing down on us, together with a number of other extinction events.


If anything, Ahmed’s analyis is far too conservative in the current context.


For all that, I highly recommend carefully reading this article.
