“Inspired by mandate protests in Canada, a group of U.S. truckers set off on a cross-country journey that gains steam as it nears Washington. Along the way, they share their stories, their hopes and fears, their reasons for risking everything. An in-depth look at the nationwide awakening that the mainstream media refused to cover.”

Dan Andrews said again, in response to criticism of vaccine mandates, that he “will not apologise for saving lives”. Since vaccines are known to kill a percentage of people, Dan Andrews should apologise for mandating the killing of people. On the other hand, those who are in the firing line of mandated killing need not apologise for defending themselves. There are of course several other reasons why Dan Andrews should apologise: https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/why-vaccine-mandates-are-unethical
Based on my observations, there are two kinds of people who most readily submitted to vaccine mandates: 1) those who were economically desperate (obviously) and 2) those who are habitually manipulative and deceitful (surprisingly). It is as if the habit of lying (indicating a defective moral conscience) makes people less likely to detect the biggest deceptions affecting them and more likely to uncritically act in support of whatever the corporate media tells them is the current moral virtue, which counts in favour of the idea that unethical/immoral intentions have an unacknowledged metaphysical cost that culminates in self-destruction.
Were she a real promoter of the sovereign citizen movement, a real separatist and a real nativist supremacist, she would be already impeached and arrested for criminal incitement, hate crimes or treason. The fact that she is allowed to do this is a strong evidence that she is an intelligence operative, a honey-pot for indigenous extremism.
The proof of culpability for vaccine-related deaths
Covid vaccination mandates were intended to cause people to take the vaccine contrary to their free choice. The vaccine is known to kill a percentage of people. Therefore, a percentage of vaccine-related deaths are mandated - a mandated killing by arbitrary selection. Those who mandated vaccines are culpable for arbitrary killing.

Have you noticed that Dan Andrews did not fall down any stairs for quite some time? He must be doing a ‘good’ job. The last fall must have cleared his doubts.
Separatism/secessionism amounts to giving up part of your sovereign territory in order to spite the humanity of those who disagree with you, which is both irrational and unethical. The only hopeful solution to our problems is to tirelessly work to rationally resolve disagreements, even if it would take generations, not build a wall around our ideological echo chamber.
The internet has brought humanity closer together than any leader, religion or ideology ever could. Why? Because by communicating, even just by expressing our frustrations and reasons for disagreeing, we generate meaning, common meaning, and we progressively integrate as a one communication community. The progress made on this front over the last 20 years dwarfs all of human history.

The early hominin were not aware of their own faces until they conceived of the face of another and thus began to conceive of themselves in terms of another. At that point in the evolution there emerged the Anthopos - the ‘likeness of me’. This reflexive turn was the beginning of self-awareness, which is nevertheless only indirect, mediated by the essential ‘likeness’ of another. Self-awareness is a conceptual synthesis of others from the first-person perspective, a mental act of internalising the human kind as my-Self in a situation. The more faithfully we internalise humanity as the potential for conscious choice, the more conscious we become. For this reason, we cannot dehumanise or un-Self any wrongdoer without losing the awareness of a part of the Self and thus degrade our consciousness.

The innumerate Karl does not understand that banks make more money under low interest rates, because they create more money (as credit) when credit is cheaper, and they still charge the same rate-differential. The entire credit system is fraudulent, extracting wealth from the economy by inflating the money supply and charging interest on it.

The primary reason for landowners not to rent their properties but rather use them for Airbnb or even just leave empty, is the near-prohibitive risk associated with excessive tenant rights. If landlords cannot evict problem tenants, if rent payments may be suspended/deferred by the government for a year and evictions banned, few will be willing to accept the risk. And the expert who claims to proposes a solution is actually asking for the problem to be made more severe. “We need no forced evictions, and capping rent increases so its more realistic. It's unrealistic for households to sustain increases.”
According to the Economist “Using powers conferred by martial law, the government [of Ukraine] has banned all men aged 18-60 from leaving the country. Instead they must report for duty at a military recruitment office.” Even if Ukraine had clear conscience in every other respect (which is very much not the case), THIS law alone, demanding non-military people to kill against their will, makes Ukraine a criminal, immoral state and therefore deserving to be defeated. This outcome is likely planned, as I argued on several occasions before, but only once most Ukrainians are fed into the mincer and Ukraine largely depopulated. My impression, based on circumstantial evidence, is that Russia is covertly collaborating with NATO to de-nationalise and re-engineer the bread-basket of Europe, which also happens to be the strategic ‘pivot’ location of the world island, largely controlling the flows of energy, resources and food between Europe and Asia. At the end of this process I expect Ukraine to be much smaller, likely losing 50% of its territory, chiefly to Russia and Poland (a reward for playing their part in the scheme) and the remaining territory under direct control of the US. https://www.economist.com/europe/the-strange-role-of-conscription-in-ukraines-war/21808446

Does such a popular cause need to order men to fight?
An unusually interesting article from News.com: https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/us-is-preparing-australia-to-go-to-war-against-china-claims-former-diplomat/news-story/33cc01cd8b99c721ae5c792da5948e70 That this is published now is a guarantee that it will not happen the way it is said it ‘might’ happen. The most interesting factors are of course not discussed, neither affirmed nor denied, which is a strong evidence that those unsaid factors are in fact dominant: 1) senile Biden is not a sign of weakness but rather of extreme confidence and competence of the US intelligence/military, acting as if they were a foolish empire in decline but behind the curtain of the doddering President, gender pronouns and drag story time is the iron will and the absolute technological superiority of the Empire; 2) the continuous technology and intelligence transfer from the USA to Russia and China to sustain the “appearance” of their military might (despite both countries being organisationally still in the Middle Ages).

Thoughts on spontaneous clarity/insights.
By ‘thought’ I mean any conscious apprehension of meaning. Ideas of perception, self, other, inside, outside, world, body, thing/object, feeling, are indeed ‘ideas’, meaningful objects of thought. By invoking them we are thinking about them. In being aware of experiencing what they signify we are also apprehending their meaning (we are thinking about them). We cannot evade thought, and any reference to objects or states that are non-thought are merely distinctions in thought, thinking about thoughts and creating a hierarchy of meanings. On this view, everything there is for consciousness is thought, and postulating the ‘origin’ of thought as either internal or external is still entirely within the omnipresent domain of thought. Nevertheless, consciousness is organised according to levels of meaning, and it is meaningful only because it is internally differentiated (a meaningful idea consists in its difference/contrast from everything else: the law of identity). Crucially, differences of ideas also require differentiation of the loci of consciousness, as internal ‘socialisation’ of multiple points of view and quasi-autonomous ‘minds’, which are fluid in their (individualised) meaning content. Consciousness can exist as an integrated, higher-order idea only as a multiplicity.
At the opposite end of the hierarchy of meanings is the natural world. Nature, including the inorganic physical world, is, in a sense, a manifestation of the ‘collective unconscious’, the totality/complexity of meanings that consciousness has progressively externalised as having the relational integrity of a World. Behind this process is the procedural ideal (ideal agency, or Logos) that guided its creation via the rules of discernment of possible vs impossible, real vs unreal, true vs false, in every manifestation of rational consciousness. As such, the world is meaning, every real part of which is meaningful and necessary to sustain the integrity of the whole, which in turn makes the whole existentially conditional on rational consciousness. Logos (as the principle of sense) is above and before the world, it is also in the world as the embodied rational consciousness, and it is the world as its meaningful appearance/experience.
It seems possible to apprehend sections of the immense complexity of the ‘collective unconscious’ as spontaneous insights, moments of clarity, which manifest (meaningfully) as if from the birds-eye view, without all the ungraspable complexity but only as a unified impression of an image. Perhaps the total image is accessible at all times, but it is so familiar that we are habituated not to ‘see’ it, like fish in water, and the only times we experience extraordinary insights is when circumstances and emotions emphasise/focalise only a relevant section of the total image (by obscuring everything else).
(I intentionally avoided the term ‘intuition’ due to its colloquial vagueness, often used to signify our biases, guesses or preferences rather than genuine insights. As a general rule, based partly on experience, if there is an urge to interpret/describe a moment of clarity, then it is not clarity, not a genuine insight. Moments of clarity are epistemically complete, and nothing needs to be added, represented or interpreted.)
