Since you are at least aware of the Japanese tradition, I will add the case of the Ikko-Ikki. During the Warring State era in Japan, the buddhist monks and their followers formed self sufficient communities which resisted warlord encroachment. Oda Nobunaga, the warlord who reconquered most of Japan, simply killed them all.
Do you think the Central Authorities, who would abandon the people and hide until the crisis is over, will tolerate survivalist communities? No. They will return to power, and do what they did before, adapting to available tech. Since they are likely to posess the most advanced tech available they will gain enough follower to incinerate all the survivalist communities who will be technologically inferior.

Which is why I like the writings of Fast Eddy, who was practically the only writer worth reading in Gail's blog. I only go there for entertainment and to make fun of the cornucopians who have not abandoned their quixotic ambitions.
Fast Eddy knows how to have fun and he sees things more clearly than probably 99.999% of the world's population.
This is exactly what I thought when I watched the clip - it's NFL without any protection....
How about we bring ice hockey into the fray.... each player lines up at the opposite goal line.. then skates full speed (upwards of 40km per hour) no gear --- and they smash into each other... body parts would go flying
Fuck Yeah!!! If they are willing to do it -- then LET THEM
It looks like total collapse may be just a few days away. Word is out that the US plans to launch attacks on Iran "within days". They are currently evacuating the US embassy in Israel in preparation. An Iranian government spokesperson said yesterday that if the US attacks Iran will immediately bomb all US military bases in the region AND all oil installations in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and UAE which would lead to a global economic catastrophe. Obviously the Russians and Chinese wouldn't just sit there and allow this to happen.
All hell is about to break loose unless Trump backs down.
1. Does anyone think that the private schooled highly intelligent ... men who run the world would allow the fellas featured in the above video - to cancel out there votes? Do you really think there is democracy?
I wrote this to someone named "Nakayama" in Gail's substack blog

OFW is polluted with morons.... the comments section is rubbish...
Then this? Basically promoting a form of prepping ... feeding the fools hopium... I get it ... Gail knows this is bullshit but she does not want to be cruel and feed them the truth https://ourfiniteworld.com/2025/06/18/what-should-individuals-do-in-a-world-filled-with-conflict/
This is the truth https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/collapse-and-cannibalism If she gave it to them they'd get very angry
Starship just randomly blew up on the ground a few hours ago during a test, it couldn't even be bothered to take off.
That was one helluva explosion.
Swiss National Bank cuts rates to zero with inflation negative, global outlook cloudy

Understatement? "global outlook cloudy" LOL
Wearing helmets a la American Gridiron would go a long way to improving the safety of this 'activity.'

The Frankenmonkeys keep repeating the "5 monkeys and a ladder" experiment over and over again.

2. When the fake growth spurred by immense stimulus begins to falter... central banks will again respond with lower interest rates --- see https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/swiss-national-bank-cuts-interest-rates-zero-2025-06-19/
That will be the beginning of the pushing on string phase... the beginning of the end.
You have always said that all these 'wars' are theatre
I now concur
If Persia is an existential foe, why its TV still works?
EMP and you-name-it would all be used to disable Persia to bring it back to the middle ages.
As long as the Iranians can watch TV and use telegrams, it is all theatre.
