I’m curious as to how the author would justify the tactics of Extinction Rebellion. It seems like a bunch of middle class types trying to obstruct and torment average people trying to go about their days. Then you add some wanton destruction of irreplaceable cultural heritage. Seems like a millenarian cult.
As England enters Starmer type austerity, it’s very easy to see how a British person could foresee the breakdown of society. If this is the case, however, adding a bunch of low productivity foreigners seems like the craziest thing anyone could do.
The fact that palaeohistory is such that we are able to burn such massive amounts of hydrocarbons seems like a miracle. I don’t necessarily foresee an imminent collapse but I don’t see how we can expect to add an Infinite number of Third Worlders to the industrial economy and expect to find enough resources and get away with the pollution.
The elites are in a panic because they're facing either destruction due to resource contraction or due to population contraction. Since the elites see people as interchangeable cogs in their mechanisms of production, they're trying to solve the population problem through immigration... since there's no solution to resource contraction they rely on fanciful magical thinking instead. "Some one will magically solve this with advanced technology or AI or something."

Our elites aren't very bright.

AHAHHAHA If global warming was real this is the easiest possible way to accellerate it.
Well, yeah. We have about 200 years of continued growth before the oceans boil from waste heat.
