Duel!
By: Phil Potts Date: July 13, 2021, 3:55 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Not pistols at 30 paces, just ringside entertainment from about
that distance.
I guess the closest thing to a duel for most people in sanitized
society today is sitting on the sofa with a game controller.
Most of us here are old farts, so remember when it was not a
matter of someone being charged with assault and devastating
consequences to their all important background check, to settle
disputes with fists. I think I had done it for the last time by
the time I was 21.
This was just a normal part of life, obviously happening a lot
more often for some than others, but overall considered normal;
that is, natural. As collapse progresses and the reach of the
state retreats, we will inevitably revert to that natural state.
I'm mentioning this because I had reason to think about it this
evening. As I was making a hot drink and darkness was falling, I
noticed outside the kitchen window about 30m away, three
kangaroos. One was casually eating grass while the other two
beat the living **** out of each other. This went on for 10-15
minutes, broken into 3 or 4 rounds, basically the same as a MMA
/ UFC match. I could see them getting more tired with each round
and in the end they were both so spent they couldn't really
stand up.
I was thinking it wouldn't matter if the third kangaroo I'm
assuming was the only female, could suck a peanut through a
drinking straw, no piece of tail is worth that much trouble. I
wouldn't be surprised if one of them dies from internal
bleeding, and the other is also injured. That's about as real as
it gets, not actors on a screen or a sport with referees and
rules. Nothing but the raw brutality of a crime scene.
How much does this reality apply to us? If it was winter, below
freezing and you had no coat. If it was a heatwave, you were
dehydrated and had no water. If you were stranded and needed a
car, or bike, or boat. Watching two animals trying to almost
kill each other, I wonder how many people would become
animalistic enough to try and take these things by force, being
a matter of survival.

Looting in South Africa - Azo sent me a mail telling me about
the riots.
COMPLETE SOCIETAL COLLAPSE IN SOUTH AFRICA - RIOTERS BEING SHOT
DEAD BY ARMED CITIZENS
Crazy videos of massive violence are circulating. I think that
answers your question. South Africa is a gourmet feast of doom.

The **** and bull story is it has to do with the arrest of the
former president but protesters raided warehouses full of frozen
food and were not shouting politics. People have no money and
are living under a harsh covid police state. Sale of alcohol
was banned because of covid. Go figure on that one. The SA
economy went into the toilet. Widespread unemployment. The
people got no relief, only rules. They are taking matters into
their own hands and everybody is recording the mayhem.
Can you imagine if we had phones when Napoleon marched to
Moscow? Every inch of the march would be posted online.
Not a good place to be: 'Dubul' ibhunu' or 'Kill the Boer'
remains a thing. A hate thing like the hatred of Russian
aristocrats after the Russian revolution.
You can't give people rules without giving them bread too. The
legacy of apartheid is crippling hate and a broken society. The
ruin of South Africa is baked in the cake. The hate is deep.
The world seems to be ignoring it all.

Yes, and what little mainstream coverage there is sidelines it
into a political thing. If you listen close a lot of savvy
newscasters are saying things like 'no political slogans were
heard, or political signs seen'. Then they go ahead and give
the standard line.
The government is quick to say the looting will be behind a food
shortage. That means festivities are only just beginning. It
is messed up for the rest of the world to be ignoring this.

Brad explains at the end that it is very important to be wearing
a vest when you take your little poopsey dog out to relieve
herself in the middle of the night.

* This is so cool. The pic of RE's shitter is actually a lot
bigger and goes off screen but I got struck by lightning and the
thought came to me:
if you want to change the image size why don't you look in the
Simple Machines Forum manual?
Ah yeah, for years we suffered from pics too big for the screen
at the Diner and all our big brains had to do was check the
manual. All you do is modify the contents of the image tag when
you make a post. Like this:
From: [font=courier]img[/font]
To: [font=courier]img width=200[/font]
And the paper target sized to match. I tried to find a
silhouette of a man smoking a cigarette for the target. My
preference black and white with the target in red. No luck.
Brad warns about being shot dead if you step outside for a
midnight smoke.

Well, I hardly claim to ever be up to date on current events,
but what the hell happened in South Africa that folks are going
berserk?

SA was having some difficulty well before COVID. I’m sure the
COVID rules made it worse, but I don’t think it’s just that. The
government flat out took white people’s land and gave it back to
the tribesmen....and that has led to.....a collapsing economy.
Be careful what you wish for.
It might be racist to even ask this question, but how exactly
many countries run by tribal Africans without even a written
word culture..... are trending toward stable government, a high
standard of living for ordinary people, and a decrease in
corruption?
Well?
Bullet proof vest guy is delusional of course...

I know the Chinese opened a big auto factory in Sth Afr,
basically it's all Toyota with a different badge. Of course
Peugeot for one was making the previous generation in Africa for
decades. The previous generation peugeut and toyotas tooling
gets shipped and used with more manual labour and less robot.
The ones running the countries do have written words, education.
It just isn't free for everyone. Western scholarships don't go
to the poor, they go to wealthy family girls, to address
[s]gender gap[/s] positive birth rate. This is how you got the
recycled plastic pavers and roof tiles in Kenya. We ship our
garbage to landfill in poor places where they pick through it.
Female chemists and engineers then came up with a product. Where
can the boys get a free education? In the mosque/madrassa as an
extremist. Power and water going off and on at various hours
makes it hard for their own academies to provide 21st century
tertiary or technical education.
Crime and corruption is a big problem with no easy solution,
except people with principles risking their lives just as a
starting point. Then again it seems everywhere that people don't
think it's their problem. Fauci has been patenting different
parts of annual flu and mutations for 20 yrs. He not only
remains at large, but speaks with authority for the countries
policy. **** unbelievable.

I never suffered from this problem. I changed the image sizes
all the time. You could change the video player size also. I
id that to make the embedded vids big enough to fit the typical
1200pxscreen size.

Not that different, in the most recent style of “land reform”
that has been adopted, after several years of beating around the
bush. You can read all about it here.

They are arguing now about making it even easier to take the
land back from the Afrikaners.
