If I write something here, that counts as a Christmas present.

Saw an interesting idea that the strikes on substations and food factories are actually part of resistance.  Not even necessarily-connected, just people showing the rulers and their subjects what could be lost.

I certainly like the idea.  I also suspect they are unified just because so many of these are happening at basically the same time and place, but an actual resistance movement would start in very small pieces, often by only a single individual.  That's the confusing part, they couldn't be going on so close together a the same sort of places to just be coincidence.  They don't have to be an actual united resistance but there would need to be some connection for this to keep happening.

I totally support getting a united resistance.  Of course the people actually doing this would be silent operators, whereas I am obviously going on-and-on about this stuff on the internet.  It's similar to my experience with a security clearance.  Obviously there's stuff that I can't talk about but beyond that, I wrote whatever I was thinking about because, however right or wrong I was, I was making it all up.  At most, it was a lucky guess.  I was very good at not learning anything that wasn't relevant to my job in supporting the operators, so that helped.

□ [“After Banning Women From Universities, Taliban Now Prevents Women From Working at NGOs"]

This is an example of leftism proving it doesn't know anything and can't learn from its mistakes.  The Taliban won.  The winner gets to run things how they want.  The side that dropped its weapons and ran away crying like little girls does not get a say in the matter.  The people in charge of the losing side got what they wanted, they don't have to pretend to oppose the Taliban anymore, yet they're still complaining.

So now anybody who wants to learn from the experience will look at what the Taliban did to win, and they weren't devoting their time to made-up genders.  They recognize what the real genders are and stay with that, that's a benefit no matter how you look at it.  Unless you're one of the losers, in which case you'll just double-down on promoting the made-up genders over everything else, which guarantees future military failure.

This is just advertising for the Taliban and everyone on their side.  They must be doing something right if they can reduce the most powerful nation in history to this and they're devoted to staying down that path.  A healthy US military would be looking at what they got wrong, that's not what this one is doing.  Thinking people will look into it, the people in charge will not, but they will stay in charge no matter what.

□ [“China Sends 71 War Planes In the Skies Around Taiwan in 'Military Drill'"]

And where, oh where are the leftists of the world standing up against this?  Taiwan has declared its independence for a lot longer than Ukraine ever has, but one country is full of white people and the other isn't, so guess which one gets all the attention from leftists.

China always moves at its own pace for whatever reason, so in a sense, this doesn't mean anything, they're just showing off.  They could move in tomorrow, they could wait for 2049, or whenever the 100th anniversary of Taiwan's independence is determined to be. [A specific year varies depending on what you're looking up, and of course, China has never recognized its independence.]  They're not going anywhere.

So where's the attention for this?  China and its ally Russia have spent a long time manipulating their own citizens and infiltrating other nations, they've got a lot of experience to draw from, both ruling a giant nation and dealing with leftist servants, plus a lot of assets to use or withdraw as they see fit.  They can just ban the production of rare metals for other countries any time they want, and what will the leftists who are already banning fossil fuels do about that?

Taiwan ranks very highly on the production of semiconductors, do those get used anywhere or should we just let China add to its own high-ranking production?  Not answering is itself an answer.

□ [“Rising Power Prices in Europe Are Making EV Ownership More Expensive"]

The rulers who think government needs to decide how energy works are getting the opposite of what they want, even helping to take down the very energy production they've been paying to develop for decades.  Their own actions are making it cheaper to buy fossil fuel than solar/wind-power, but they won't change their stance on the matter, so everything will get worse for everyone.

They could have just established EV production that actually works, this is what sensible people would do.  But no, they only picked ways that require government intervention over everything else to guarantee suppression.  That never leads to a good outcome but they ran for it immediately.  What does it take for them to recognize and acknowledge that their screw-ups are the cause of all these problems?

The more they get into this, the more it becomes clear that global warming is just a myth they have imposed on the world as an excuse to seize power.  As a myth, it works quite well, no doubt about that, but it requires oppression to function in the real world.  That's where the real interest is.  The end is always only a few years away unless they seize absolute power now and get everything they want.

What's the next step in the supply crisis?  I've noticed gas prices have gone down a bit in the last month or two but there's still lots of empty shelves at the stores I frequent.  This can't last.  What are they going to do to make it worse and what are we going to do to get away from them and rebuild?

I keep saying this over and over, but going on strike is the best option.  That's where it will become really obvious to everybody how important productivity is.  Everything else is trying to make it one more day, which is what our masters want so they have more time to impose their tyranny.  If those who are actually productive just stop, that would change our ruler's whole strategy.  They'd suddenly risk going without which they would never accept, and they would turn on each other as the most convenient targets.

I'm not sure where to start but in a 'keep it simple, stupid' sense, I would think we need to start working out what supplies are most required and what materials are needed to make those products happen, and how.  Once there's a workable list, even if it gets added to over time, it can be organized by subject matter and importance.  Food, medicine, fuel, weapons, what is of the best use in the most areas, what is less important, how difficult is it to produce and deliver these supplies?

This is the sort of thing that needs to be worked out before it's too late.  Remember, the rulers and their servants will have a lot more access to supplies, so they'll have much more leeway to attack the rest of us.  They've got all the time they need.  We have none.
