When i used to travel Hong Kong back in the mid 90s, i started to see the infrastructure of the digital tyranny in it's infancy. By then 15 min cities was already a thing hardcoded into the Asian lifestyles.

In the 2000s i started to see the surveillance state emerging. 15 years ago they already had the facial recognition, iris scans, Hong Kong ID cards which acted as your passport, day to day ID card and it was even linked to one's social security, pension, tax etc. They then came out with something called the Octopus Card, which inspired London's Oyster card, same deal...everything conveniently put into one card; you could top up the card, buy things and pay bills with the card, as well as having access to public transport.

It's happening over here now slowly but surely and the infrastructure will be hard to escape, if we don't escape physically. I must get out by 2028.

I don't expect any polities to be dissenting from this NWO. Places like Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia may. They are dissenting today from the general narrative, and could dig in and seek to decentralize production as much as possible to prevent their subjugation, which I would be ecstatic to see happen. What I do expect is that the least prosperous will have the least ability to impose this enslavement, and people that grasp dependence on centralized production will eventually be cut off from necessities, even if only temporarily and punitively for farting in elevators or something. The truth is that they will be cut off permanently. Overlords want them dead. It won't be fair, or just, or survivable. The only way people will survive, much less prosper, is by themselves making what they need and defending it from armed gangs of thugs that will come to take it from them.

This is why I have settled where I am. It is why I have eschewed money in favor of goodwill. It is why I beat the drum for economic independence from centralized economies and for interdependence of decentralized economies. The amount of resources it would take me to replace all the goods and services the centralized economy provides is unreasonable to expect me to myself provide. But networks of people in rural areas that specialize in this or that can better provide the panoply fundamental to modern civil society. As the problem gets worse and more people decide to take action to survive, then places like this will most quickly become able to thrive.

Hey, i recently realized that i can add people onto my private matrix group without having to make an account on the server i'm renting.

Can you send me your matrix username to jinofspades@tutanota.com?

I can try. Will it simply add the room to those I am already in, or will my account have to choose between servers I am on?

the former.

send me a msg jinofspades@tutanota.com!
