No. It will be a different type of prison, but a prison nonetheless. I think there needs to be major pushback on this asap. Who do these people think they are trying to dictate what we may and may not do to this extent? If we don't fight back now, we may not be able to in the future.Restricting cars from city centers is becoming a trend. In some areas, this was met with great resistance, then after a while most like it- especially businesses. This was tried in the 1980s, and it badly flopped. To be fair, I don't think we are talking about people, wearing striped suits, imprisoned in cities with guards with cocked weapons and razor wired 30 foot walls to keep them in.
Ok, watched it. I've heard this before; prisoners in our own homes, commodity population, digital ID; but to what end? Our movement is already limited by gas and air fare costs (until the next pandemic), our info is snatched and stored all day, and every card we use that has a black strip or shiny icon on it identifies us digitally everywhere, so what is the end game? Beyond controlling us, I mean. It can't just be about ruling the world.

Yeah, the in-vid ad. I'm not a fan of 'tankmania'@George1959
You might like this one. It's only 12 minutes long. There's an in-vid ad, but, you know, just fast-forward through it.
I hope Warren Buffet's quote was a heads up, not that he was gloating. I remember him calling on his fellow billionaires and multi-millionaires to pay their fair share in taxes. He thought it was terrible that his secretary was taxed at a higher rate than him and his rich constituents. But they have all kinds of loopholes that we regular folks don't get to take advantage of.Yeah, the in-vid ad. I'm not a fan of 'tankmania'.
But this Mukaab reminds me of a poem by the German writer Erich Kästner
In 1932 (the year before Hitler's appointment as chancellor!), he wrote (scroll down for translation) :
Ein Mathematiker hat behauptet,
dass es allmählich an der Zeit sei,
eine stabile Kiste zu bauen,
die tausend Meter lang, hoch und breit sei.
In diesem einem Kubikkilometer
hätten, schrieb er im wichtigsten Satz,
sämtliche heute lebenden Menschen
(das sind zirka zwei Milliarden!) Platz!
Man könnte also die ganze Menschheit
in eine Kiste steigen heißen
und diese, vielleicht in den Kordilleren,
in einen der tiefsten Abgründe schmeißen.
Da lägen wir dann, fast unbemerkbar,
als würfelförmiges Paket.
Und Gras könnte über die Menschheit wachsen.
Und Sand würde daraufgeweht.
Kreischend zögen die Geier Kreise.
Die riesigen Städte stünden leer.
Die Menschheit läg‘ in den Kordilleren.
Das wüsste dann aber keiner mehr.
The translation by deepl.com:
A mathematician has claimed
that it is about time
to build a stable box
a thousand meters long, high and wide.
In this one cubic kilometer
he wrote in the most important sentence,
all people living today
(that is about two billion!) would fit in this one cubic kilometer!
One could call the whole mankind
into a box and throw this,
perhaps in the Cordilleras,
into one of the deepest abysses.
There we would lie then, almost unnoticeable,
as a cube-shaped package.
And grass could grow over mankind.
And sand would be blown on it.
Screeching the vultures would draw circles.
The huge cities would be empty.
Mankind would lie in the Cordillera.
But then nobody would know that anymore.
(Meanwhile there are estimated more than 8 billion people on earth. The box would have to be larger.)
Coming back to the video, the suggestions:
We need to tackle the cost of living crisis:
Bringing public services back into public ownership
Limit the hoarding of wealth at the top:
What if we limited the size of corporations somehow?
Ban billionaires.
100% tax on wealth above 500 million dollars
Establish a global climate fund
are worth thinking about. But the billionaires shall not allow it. Remember Warren Buffet's quote:
“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
Game over![]()
Yes, all of us have to fight back now!No. It will be a different type of prison, but a prison nonetheless. I think there needs to be major pushback on this asap.

These "loopholes" are legal - why would anyone, rich or not so rich, not take advantage of them. There is another thread on the forum, can't recall the name, where people are discussing how to limit taxable income in order to avoid social security clawbacks. No one one wants to pay more taxes.But they have all kinds of loopholes that we regular folks don't get to take advantage of.
Maybe it's about preserving the status quo for themselves, through enslavement of the lower classes which is the rest of us? Yeah, it could be about ruling the world in perpetuity because they feel entitled to do so. I've noticed royalty never voluntarily steps down even if it would be for the good of their nation or if their people want it. They will just go on and on unless they are stopped. It does lead a person to believe the worst when it comes to the globalist agenda. You cannot deny what you actually see happening with your own eyes everyday. This is not a conspiracy theory but a harsh reality unfolding before us and it does call us to action to preserve the few freedoms we have left.Ok, watched it.

I don't think numbers will matter in another generation. Not in "the west," where people are eating toxins and medicine is toxic and healthcare is 3rd rate and an actual education isn't affordable...so the west will fall first. And we don't seem to give a damn about our own genocide, let alone the genocides that have happened and are happening around us since the discovery of The New Land.Maybe it's about preserving the status quo for themselves, through enslavement of the lower classes which is the rest of us?

I still use cash. It's a little bit I CAN do to stop the globalist trend and now I use cashier check out in stores where it's available because it may be saving someone's job. There are still things we can do to prevent this from happening. We outnumber them and we must always remember this.![]()

Like the subjects of the King of Saudi, we'll just go along with the new order. Free housing, free food, free enetertanment, and just a few little chores to tend to every day. We'll live in friendly, closed communities with no bad people around; no thieves, or gangs, no scary people with a wrong point of view who might upset us and make us momentarily doubtful....are you kidding me? Life will be beautiful.![]()
"We are living in an historic time"Well, I respectfully disagree. We do have the numbers right now and that can be a game changer. The Dutch farmers now hold a majority in their parliament if I understand correctly so as long as there is pushback, I don't think the WEF will continue with their agenda, but it all remains to be seen. We are living in an historic time on a par with WWII almost or the American and French Revolutions. It would be exciting if it all weren't so scary
