Something we can at least agree on but be prepare for things to get much worse before they get better. Unfortunately for most it's the only way they will be motivated to do anything. I'm very much in the camp that the solution is "united non-compliance" because any mass violent disorder will be ruthlessly dealt with (and the state have all the toys) and is used to justify yet more draconian abuses of power.

I read Net Zero recently described as the Lefts 21st century version of Mao's 'Great Leap Forward'.

And we all know how that ended up.

But Net Zero has to be resisted. 100% because it is the mechanism by which they will try and screw us over. And when you scratch the surface of the people pushing it, and realise their connections to the Saudi-Qatari oil industry, it is clear that they don't actually want to do anything other than protect that.

We live in a world in which fracking solves almost every geo-political problem. And yet it is now virtually non-existent. Meaning the Saudis no longer have to keep the oil price under $60 a barrel.

Energy is the battlefield. Quite literally, in the case of Ukraine.

By the way, this is now what constitutes the “far right”

It depends somewhat if you are willing to “stay in your lane” and “trust the experts” as we are taught or just trust yourself with information (the default for most people before the printing press). Seeing as what we are generally fed is “curated” (chosen by others whose paymasters and incentives are opaque), I choose the latter.

That’s wasn’t the case for most of my life though.

On this subject ?

Are you comparing my covid opinions to this as there are reasons I don’t doubt the evidence that jabs are generally a benefit. My views on climate change don’t move. It’s generally bollox although I have admitted that a small amount could be man made. That’s the only flip flop I’ve had and only because it’s unprovable that we are not to some degree.
