Good for the Russian people! Sadly, I expect that in the soft, corrupted western countries like Canada, the emasculated population won’t readily give up their selfish pleasures.

They've already started rolling out digital ID in Canada. And I'm not seeing many other people protesting it, so ... yeah.

"Emasculated" is the word.

This is the Ghandi solution. The system only works - if we comply.

Sandrine Cabioch's avatar

The systems only works... when we are fooled. Not" if we comply". There is no liberty without information and free will. Ok you can refuse vaccines Who knows for example that the lovely Wallenberg family in sweden works on mucosal and drinkable vaccines since 2013? https://kaw.wallenberg.org/en/research/they-want-develop-new-drinkable-and-spray-vaccines-mass-vaccinations

I'd heard something about it that I vaguely remember. But thanks for reminding me about the aristocratic Wallenbergs.

When people are fooled - they're likely to go along with the program. But larger questions of compliance are independent of higher order rational functions. Ghandi broke the British, by refusing to follow their unjust laws on salt production. When it's something that everyone can and does resist about - the system can't incarcerate or intimidate their way out of the problem.

Russian Soccer fans just made it clear - if they need to be cattle tagged to come to the matches - they weren't going to come. Kudos to them. It's an example we all need to follow.

I met a couple, not too long ago, who both took the J&J shot - so they could go on a cruise. Really?!?! There's nothing that could be used to get me to take those lethal injections...but that's probably because I was never fooled or fool-able. That's where the propaganda networks and the media ecology come into play. If they had known better - perhaps they wouldn't have gone along.

Peasants are born to comply

Achilles's avatar

The only answer is to replace the elite, to give them nicer boots to lick...

Another WorldView Is Possible's avatar

How do you replace the elites, exactly?

Isn't breaking their illusion of power and control part of the process?

Refusing to comply, in this case, means breaking the Soccer clubs and their business model... It's hard to buy new boots when you're broke.

Whatever your revolutionary grand strategy might be...I think that referring to the workers as peasants is an area that you might need to update.

Achilles's avatar

You don't... other elites do

Peasant livestock is more accurate, a medieval peasant was much more capable and independent.

I can make a prediction, here in the US, the sports fans will go along, they are crazed fans of sports, especially football. So yes, a salute to the Russian people.

In Croatia we learned that fan associations are run by apartchiks. Pretty much all hard core football fans got vaccinated. Which was a surprise to anyone with a working brain. One would think they would be on the frontlines against the plandemic. But no. Hard core idiots rather.

Its no wonder tho, when one knows how fan associations in Croatia are all riddled with cocaine abuse.

I suspect our situation in Slovenia is much the same.

Jeffrey Strahl's avatar

Thanks, Riley, this is encouraging. Russians continue to resist and insist upon staying human. GREAT news.

WorkingDawg's avatar

The Russian people have been greatly abused over the centuries. They are not stupid and they are not cowards. Like them, I will not comply or volunteer to be treated like cattle.

Joe Van Steenbergen's avatar

The lesson here is pretty stark - the only way to defeat efforts to handcuff humanity to digital systems is to say - NO!

V Bosso od Kumbiya's avatar

I'm a little jealous - in a good way - that Russia's football hooligans are smarter than nearly everyone in my country, combined.

Ann Glover's avatar

The basso profundo is so very, very apt and so very, very Russian. Thank you, thank you for that balm for our shattered souls. It gives me great peace. Everything comes around again and this is, as always, the most ancient of conflicts. Of dominance and submission, pain and suffering, resistance and redemption - and final, blessed release.

I already told you that's how it'll end, probably - remember Chernomyrdin? "Хотели, как лучше, а получилось как всегда". Hopefully, it'll stay this way.

“The incoming freshman has much to learn” the paper editorialized to new students in Fall 1965, “perhaps lesson number one is not to fold, spindle, or mutilate his IBM card” (Daily Californian, Sept. 15, 1968)

Please do fold, spindle, and mutilate.

Throw that Fan ID in the trash.

Random Ruminations's avatar

There are reasonable arguments to be made in favour of all this digitalization, however the opportunity for serious abuse clearly is far too high. Even if the current Russian polity is 99% pure and clean and operating with only good intentions, there are no guarantees that it will remain that way. Giving too much power to too few without transparent controls is extremely foolish.

But that's where we are all headed, it seems.

Meanwhile - at least in the West - people will keep voting in elections which make not a jot of difference given that the same Powers that Be essentially back or control all the representative chosen in such 'elections.'

I did a Yi Jing throw about US about whether or not they could purge the neocons from their polity without nuclear war and the answer was interesting in that it 'predicted' a great leader emerging soon from the field. (Throw: https://ashleyschowes.substack.com/p/yijing-reading-2023-3-6-can-the-neocon )

That seems about right because if we all wait for We the Sheople to rise and throw off bad governance - especially once the digital mass prison has been created in which we will all live - though the resistance to Fan ID in Russia is indeed encouraging, we might end up waiting forever, or more likely lose the capacity to even wonder whether or not there may be other ways of living...

Hey,

What do you think of that article? Does anybody know how to check if it is genuine?

impy's avatar

so Putin is a bad guy who still wants digital IDs and now tries to lure the masses with "more convenience", presumably followed by more carrots, followed by sticks..

how come I do not hear about how evil Putin is on mainstream media, or alt media? Just kidding..

Sunface Jack's avatar

Excellent response to this scourge. The onlyn way to stop it is to refuse compliance. A "free travel in public transport", They always dangle a carrot for the donkey don't they.

The reason why "they" have Vladimir by the balls lies in the photo of my new avatar.

That's why I fear Vladimir has no limit.

Solidarity with russian people.

Sandrine Cabioch's avatar

This photo is the bed and the flat in Moscow where Vladimir Putin had sex with little boys when he was still a student (see the Robert Owen's report on internet). Putin destroyed the video footage when he became boss of the FSB, as he found it in the FSB internal services directorate . 0n the photo, this is not Vladimir Putin. It's a photo of the same bed, taken also from a video, where you can normally see Prosecutor General Yuri Skuratov with 2 prostitutes. Later on, Putin will blackmail him with this video, the story is being told in Skuratov 's book Variant Drakona.

I always find it hard to be sure whether allegations such as these are true. They might be, and I'm pretty sure methods such as described in your comment are being used by intelligence agencies to blackmail politicians. After all that came to light during the Epstein case and pizzagate no one can deny this.
