Re: Demonization (none / 0)

No guns involved. But people got to move where the jobs are. Or they will be unemployed. That's life in a single currency. We see that in Sweden as well, where the inland and the north is being depopulated.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: Demonization (none / 1)

But we have a bunch of programs and transfers that keeps the depopulation slow and steady.

Re: Demonization (none / 0)

The policies currently being imposed on Greece are going to involve rather a lot of guns long before it gets to the point of mass depopulation.

That the guns will be applied to those who do not leave rather than those who do does not make it any less a depopulation at gunpoint.
