Tupac's Banned Christmas Interview

Tupac's Banned Christmas Interview
the grinches at mtv pulled this when he got arrested.
He was a renaissance man, educated by his mother who was a black panther. He makes it sound tough growing up but that wasn't the half of it, they were pretty much on the lamb from the FBI for most of his childhood.
this bloke is my favorite because he was all these things and more, he was a poet but then you find out he took 5 bullets before the ones in vegas.
That was actually a really interesting interview. Thanks for putting that up. Well worth a watch

Express your opinion about vendors sharing the tracking code
Hi folks, please share your opinion about this subject.
From my personal experience, a lot of vendors refuse to give the tracking code (I'm talking about EU orders) because of "security issues". I think this is mostly wrong, I can understand if a new LB user asks you the tracking code straight after you've posted the item, but, if an older member of LB (with also a good reputation) asks you the tracking code, you SHOULD NOT refuse him for what HE PAID.
(The frustration starts when days have passed and you ask the vendor "can you please check where is my order?" and then you have to wait days to receive a reply, this could be avoided by giving the customer what he paid for)
Now, about the "security issue", let's be fair, if a cop would like to use the tracking code to track the dispatch point, he should just wait to receive the order and then he will be able to see the tracking code written on the parcel itself... So 2+2 = 5? Maybe for some vendors...
I'm not starting this topic with bad intentions, I just want to hear your opinion because I'm having enough of this.

100% agree my dude, if vendors are trying to be reputable then this would be a great way of showing trust and respect. At the end of the day we're the ones giving out our addresses to random people over the internet so we would like a bit of recognition. I get the feeling that some vendors lie about the date they send the goods, probably because they haven't enough stock in to fulfil the order in a timely manner. Honesty is the best policy in these situations
In a short while I've seen a marked difference between vendors that ship and communicate diligently (like THEPROVIDER and ukpacks) and the ones that couldn't care if they don't post the odd package. I mean, c'mon... statistically it is too unlikely that one vendor would have so much higher a rate of parcel loss and delay and the evidence points to pocketing the occasional profit instead of sending. Why else would a vendor (1) not offer tracked shipping and (2) advise people wait 16 days (which is I believe the amount of time it takes funds to clear...) before starting to ask questions. I'm not trying to be a dick (am I? sorry biggas) but waiting for my package is tearing me up inside.
I fully agree with you, let's take for example RB, he just asks to wait 48h before asking for the tracking code.
Codswallop, we get a slap on the wrist and a don't it again warning.
That's not what a vendor gets

Where exactly is the added risk in sharing the code? I have yet to see 1 answer to this question.
Any agent interested in a seller just has to order to see their stealth, tracking codes or whatever else a buyer has existentially.

It's one of these arguments where it's down to what people feel not about proof. Some vendors feel comfortable sharing the codes some don't.
A potential solutions would be a flair in the postal section the vendor could activate to show they share codes or something (or they could just write it somewhere that they do)
Arguing about what's the right way is like arguing all vendors should offer a tracked option, it's a risk that some vendors don't want to take and some do but can't find a suitable opsec way to do it (I guess) .
Take it easy 😄

This is true, but I want to add that since babylon focuses on vendors they are more at risk of being... normalised.
From my viewpoint babylon is still mainly concerned with the end-user. Because we are not protected by anyone/thing except our wits and money. So theres almost no risk in getting to most of us. And I think big percentage of vendors have protection like you and me can only dream of. Nevermind the funds they have available...
In what way are you at risk?
Just buy from the organised criminals you prefer who can afford to pay (hopefully) or coerce someone to go to the post office, rather than insist weed growers take bigger risks on your behalf.

Look, I have expressed more than one time my point of view, and the LOGIC behind it.
Looks like some of you are not able to see further than their nose, so I'll stop replying the same thing over and over.
You can't afford to share the tracking number? Then don't sell on the internet, simple.

You asked for opinions.
I get the point you make and I can see why you think it logical when you ignore all the counter views.
If it were tracked only, LB would be gone in a week, simple.
When sites like this get compromised, they don't get closed down, they just look and apparently work like they always did, except not.

Am I being unable to express myself correctly in English?
If such an operation will take place, not sharing the tracking code is not going to save any vendor...
Please, follow the simple logic behind:
I'm vendor A, I don't share the tracking code for security reasons. (maybe a cop could see it online and track me down? Highly unlikely to happen, the only way is the one which has happen in the article you shared, in that case sharing or no sharing the tracking code is our last problem).
I'm customer B:
I want to get the tracking code because I want to know when my order will land, so I can be home or just know when I have to go to the post office to get it.
I'm officer C:
We are having a small operation, the website security is relatively good so it's not worth investing a lot of money to be able to hijack it, but instead, the operation is to be a customer.
Today I buy from vendor A, he is not sharing the tracking code, feeling that doing this is the smart move... Alright, I'll then just wait a couple of days until I'll receive the parcel and I can see the tracking code written in plain eyesight on the parcel, then let's repet this 100 times until we can narrow down the area from which they are operating.
I really hope this example is gonna make more sense to all of you who heavily protect the "not sharing the tracking is more safe" policy.

Example A is the reason I hold the opinion I shared, at your request.
You've been clear that you think it's a silly / small risk vendors should take for you, some agree, I wouldn't. Maybe I've heard too much DarkNet Diaries.
Thankfully, there are sellers to suit all of us, and we can all just get high and get along. Cheers.

Hi guys just thought we would share our point of view, for international orders we share all tracking numbers sometimes this can that up to one day to share as we aren't online when doing our rounds but we do believe as international orders can have such a varied timeframe depending on the destination that the customer needs to know how close to arriving it is, saying this we don't feel its necessary to share tracking for NDD UK to UK as we simply wouldn't have enough time in the day to match tracking numbers to orders,
If their are any issues with UK orders and they aren't delivered within the NDD timeframe then obviously we share tracking number but so far this had only occurred once and it was a issue on RM's side. We don't know how other vendors usually operate but we haven't heard any complaints from our customers so far :)

Yep, I agree. Im new tho so I understand if vendors are careful. On my 2nd order here I had to wait for almost a month and eventually was re-funded by transaxe, which was very frustrating. This could be avoided if tracking numbers are the standard. Because I think this gives scammers an opening. Why would they have to send you the order if they dont have to show proof of sending. And if guys like hootan and hashishin do it, why wouldnt everybody do it? Maybe cause it costs more eh? And there are more reasons why I think it should be the standard.
Btw. I order stuff from UK on ebay all the time and I can tell you that packages with high priority, air mail and tracked, go through 3 times faster. In this case Matcha powder. I made 2 orders, 3 weeks apart, with same value from 2 shops, and first went through customs and I had to pay extra when it got delivered after almost a month! The other one went through without any extra cost and in 8 days!
I think that some sellers say that they will use postage that costs 15$ and then they use 5$ postage without admitting it to the buyer. And some sellers are probly just stupid and they cite the highest possible value on the declaration.
I can also tell you that I get stuff thats a bit more dangerous in my post, from NL. And I see how pros are doing it. Everything is nicely printed and declared as a sample or a gift, and if you pay for tracking you get it. They always have return adress.
I guess it largely depends on how smug and sure and well connected a seller is with his postal agent. Btw, dhl also can be used for heavy illegal stuff but that is rare in my experience.

I agree with you, I don't understand why almost any parcel sent from vendors on LB takes so long to land (even if are tracked).
Yeah, if the package is posted with low priority it will be extremely slow. If I order from anywhere in Europe area (even from Russia) and its set as high priority I get it in 10 days max. And if its low then its 2-4 weeks. Forgot to mention Im south EU.
my bigga.
we need a list of vendors that share the tracking code vs not. sayno2drugs does for one and they are the most experienced seller on this site.

That's a great idea, I know RadarBreeder and TheGreenTeam do share tracking codes (and both are great vendors)
It’s incredibly difficult to pay for tracked post without leaving some trace to the vendor, opening that up to unencrypted messaging on a platform like this is a risk with little material benefit.
Nice to know it’s coming but otherwise?
Nice to know it’s coming but otherwise?
If some law enforcement has gained access to LB (and by access I mean as an administrator) getting the tracking code would be the last thing to worry about...
I respectfully disagree, If you’re selling here you must assume everyone including admin is law enforcement and set your stall accordingly. If the platform wants to, it can and will block you using pgp.
Maybe just support sellers that do it the way you’d prefer?
Maybe just support sellers that do it the way you’d prefer?
I appreciate you for taking the time to share your opinion on this, but, I think that sharing the tracking code does not create a breach in the security for the vendors.
The tracking code is visible on the parcel itself. Would be so hard for law enforcement to create a 1-2 years operation to order from vendors just to receive the parcel with the tracking code and try to locate them based on that information?
That's what I mean by saying that by not sharing the tracking number you are building a little more layer of security... No, you are not! It is just an illusion.

And that's the key point, your thinking. Other people may have a different way of thinking.
Personally I have no issues with vendors not handing out tracking codes as I "think" the risk to them is far greater than it is to the end user. However not every vendor agrees with me and the likes of TGD send you a tracking number once shipped.
I suggest messaging any new vendor beforehand to ask if they provide it up front and if not sticking to the vendors who do

Lots of sellers subscribe to security policies handed down from the early darknet, which had an emphasis on big wholesale orders.
I think one fear is that the customer is under surveillance and and that this information should be handled on a "need to know" basis. Thus the delay in handing out unless the package is missing.
How much sense this makes for personal amounts is another question, it would be nice to hear a seller speak on this directly.

Yes that’s exactly what I’d do if I was selling contraband, let them know almost a pinpoint location, honestly you people amaze me, everyone gives out tracking codes there is no LB, be patient wait for you weed be happy, tracking illegal deliveries, super smart.
Buying illegal stuff on the internet, super smart...

Just press "share" on any topic, person or item and you will get a link that you can share anywhere on the internet. That's it, you are set to share.
While you are doing this we are working too, you instantly get a message from us linking you to your new transaxe account. Whenever you are ready just come over and login so you can add a bitcoin address for us to send your earnings to (don't worry they gather until you do this).
You'll also see that every transaction that you introduce including the blockchain reference. It's completely auditable and despite the anonymity, it's the most transparent referral program on the internet.

Can anybody recommend a good place to share them to? I am a international finance director and I just can wrap my head around this!!! I just found a message from them from transaxe from a while ago about my reference code and I set an account up but now when I follow the link it brings me onto a register page but says I have already registered but there doesn't seem a way to log in.
social media, reddit, your contact list to name a few. you can share a post about economics, or a nice bit of hash depending on your audience.
the transaxe part is just about adding your btc address to collect the btc.
hope this helps.

In order to receive money from the referrals, the ones who clicked on with must also be registered on LB and you'll receive a small % of the paid price whenever they place an order.
It is not enough just to share a link and wait for someone to click on it...
It is not enough just to share a link and wait for someone to click on it...
so, you only get paid IF there's a transaction at the end of clicking on your shared link? What about if the user clicking is new to LB and then registers after clicking? The guide link you shared above is not opening for me... thanks!
I don't think this does work if someone clicks before registering, it depends about how the administrators have built this system.
About the guide, yeah, looks like someone has deleted it, idk why, maybe an admin could give more info...

Thanks so much. I am on really strong painkillers atm nothing is very clear. I really appreciate your help
Never though to add it as a weblink - lets see if i get the message. Thanks guys
Not sure if it does make an impact but I usually add the URL I want to share as a weblink (in the box under where you write the comment). As I've done on this post :)

the only word i can see after comment is "edit" and that's after i've commented, the only other word i can click is "save"
got there in the end.!!!!!!! after weeks of banging my head against a wall and doubting my own sanity I have finally sussed out the elusive "share" link. Despite the advice from others I just couldn't see the word "share" anywhere, People even sent screenshots as examples but the word "share" just wasn't there on my screen . I had just about given up ,,,,,and then,,,,,,I turned off my "ad-blocker" that was running in the background and ,,,,,hey presto the word "SHARE" has now appeared .....so if you are having the same problem try turning off ad-blocker..worked for me.

How you Discovered LB??
Cool stories and one liners on how you personally discovered LB ?
So the local stuff got that bad i had to look elsewhere, and I'm glad I did,thanks Google. although watching the post man everyday is pure torture in itself but worth it lol
Ditto! Thought it was all a big scam for a while until one day took the plunge. Anybody not of like mind browsing this site - yes this is all one big joke and a scam now go back to your beer and fags and forget what you have seen. :)
a friend of mine told me about it but what i remember is the feeling when i got here. 1st my stomach sank a little like it was a shock and as i scrolled i started seeing all the posts as well as the items and it just felt like i had found a colony of escapees from dystopia.

What is the best DIY bong?
and this is not the Hacker News, chill.
+ 2 more
Holy shit! Did that in school 15+ years ago. Do kids even have pens at school anymore!?!?!
I bought a device on eBay that screws onto almost any bottle, turning it into a bong. When the bong water gets nasty just throw the bottle away and attach it to a new bottle. It's not completely DIY but it still has some merit nonetheless. Besides, nobody likes dealing with bong water and it's easier to hide when compared to a regular bong.
where were you . Back in the day I remember so many times we could have used this. why didnt we ever think of this. lol.. love it. thankyou
When we were little the wikihow salesman used to come door to door with books like this
That they would sell newer versions of there Bong every few months. That cost more then the last one and has miner improvements. Auto makers found it didn't work for them but it has worked for Apple
If you mean best and don't mind finding some tubing and drilling you will have something that beats most expensive bongs
The bottle and small pipe combo is the most quality and convenience I have ever had the high honor to imbibe.
You take a real simple weed pipe, metal or glass, and stick it in the mouth of the bottle.
If the bottle is plastic use any sharp object to stick a hole at the base.
Hold the bottle horizontally, put a straw in that hole and prepare for a monstrosity of a hit.
If it's a glass bottle you need something super sharp for the hole at the bottom, the tip of a strong knife or an ice pick does the job easily.
Water is optional, you don't need and its hard to balance. The best part of this is no cleanup, chuck the bottle when you are done, imagine a bong with a disposable chamber, that's what you got now bro.

Haha awesome
Try, a 500 ML soda bottle + a few inches of garden hose + cake icing socket... voila !! Homemade shotgun bong

Cut the bottom off a 2 litre bottle of pop, stick it in a bucket of water, use a milk bottle foil cap to to make a cap and fill with weed. Light it and pull up. Make sure you press down as you inhale.

My special skill is that I can McGyver a bong out of almost anything.
Basically, as long as you have tin foil you can do anything. Make pipes: a few wraps, tight around a pencil, seal with scotchtape lengthways. Fan out the end before doing so. Tear a circle of tinfoil, and a pin ("anyone wearing a badge?"), open the back page of an unloved book, place the foil on the paper, and tap the pin up and down repeatedly and you have a perfectly serviceable gauze that you can poke in the end of your fanned pipe.
I prefer not to smoke out of anything plastic. Just seems like we know not to burn plastic in the outdoors, so keep that shit away from your lungs, right?
Fruit has always been a friend for the thrown together party bong. Watermelon is obviously beautifully carvable. Always thought a papaya, with its natural internal chamber and a couple of pipes would probably be viable. Poke holes into the fruit with a screwdriver or, if you don't have one, a pencil or pen.
Finally, you can make an incredible ice bong, but it's a faff. Get two barbeque skewers. Place them in a pint glass, of water with the ends 10cm from the bottom of the glass. I made an inverted kind of A frame with some tinfoil to hold them. If you do the same, keep the crossbar out of the water. Freeze the glass.
Boil the kettle. Use a combination of twisting and pulling to extract the metal skewers. Then, tilt so that one side is facing down over a sink and slowly pour boiling water into the holes. Eventually, you'll have a bong. Make a tin foil gauze. Smoke like a muthafking champion.

Have I missed the boat?
yes but the hovercraft departs in 15 mins
Have I missed the boat?
So I’m thinking of investing in Bitcoin but the problem is I’ve had my eye on it for a while now and it’s not moving very much. Is there a boom or a drop predicted any time soon?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Btc is becoming a ‘gold’ for crypto, they aren’t related in the same way as gold/silver but that’s its position now. Basically BTC is slowly becoming inefficient to spend with due to high fees in periods of volatility and as the price increases, so do the fees. I have no doubt Btc will hit 100k/coin in the next handful of years
Tesla bought it, Apple bought it (I think), visa are planning to integrate Btc into your bank accounts and ApplePay made a deal with bitpay which will allow you to use Btc in the same way you do your card.
I said all this to say, if you’re gonna buy it and hold onto it for at least a little while then I think go for it. I feel lots of small cryptos will benefit from BTC reaching this gold/long term status as those with faster payments and lower fees will get bought more.

BitCoin is a terrible medium for buying items!! It is like Weimar Germany, prices increase over night due to currency fluctuations, 4% in the last twelve hours!
You need the mentality to ride the volatility. The press love to deride btc when prices drop 10-20% but that’s just another normal day in the crypto-verse! The fact that forecasting asset based values are so often wrong, forecasting crypto is basically nuts. If I had to predict anything it’s this: the rich are going to do far better out of crypto than the man in the street....
When I discovered LB back in January, I also discovered how to buy Bitcoins. At the time, I ended up buying £3 worth of Cardano. Why? Completely at random because the coins were very very low and I thought why not... I'd forgotten about those until today when I realised they had risen by 500% since. Wish I'd invested £3000 instead! Some say it could reach $10 within a few years.... It's currently on $1.13... Who knows if it's worth investing in!
Timing the market is hard. When btc was 36k I took 25% out expecting a pull back then again at 44k and it just hasn’t happened yet. Lots of people are expecting btc to hit 100k by the end of this year and eth 10k... if you’re holding long term go for it and don’t worry about the volatility.
Not crypto related but any one get on the wallstreetbets shit with gme?

A friend of mine did but entered around 280. I thought about joining him but I felt I was too late so I looked for the next big thing. Dogecoin. Just left that with £400 profit, got in around early 2p and left late 4p.
If you ask me BTT is going to be huge (not financial advice, I’m a retard) and it’s dirt cheap at the moment.
Good luck biggaz.
Ps. My tip is to join Reddit, join your crypto subreddit and monitor the hype, not the charts.

Do we know the source of our weed?
Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has any idea of the source of the weed we buy from venders here? I ask as a good friend of mine who lets a house out has just had his house ruined by an Albanian crime ring that turned his house into a weed factory, they literally gutted the house ripped all the wiring out holes through the ceiling, there had been fires from the dodgy electrics they had run from a lamp post and they had a poor Albanian slave locked in there running it, who feared for his life if he tried to run. It really hit home and I would hate to be contributing to this sort of thing.
Yes, this issue is important to me. I don't want to potentially put money in the hands of violent gangs running shitty operations with human trafficking and modern slavery.
The best thing about LB for me is being able to buy DIRECT from legit, knowledgeable growers who care about what they are doing and are selling their own produce.
The vendors I've tried so far who most represent this spirit are:
UKCannaFarm - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4791333
GreenFinger - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4779547
There are others on here who do this, like ChronusBuds and British Bulldog. I have yet to try them, but it looks like they get v.good feedback too.
When a new indie grower like this joins LB comes along and gets noticed, there are usually multiple attempts to leave fake negative reviews. These can only be coming from some of the shadier vendors trying to force them off the items wall, or off the site completely - just ignore this kind of hate and show love to the decent biggaz!

Thank you for the mention, Father Jack, PM me for a sample if you want to try, no problem.
I agree, I really don’t want to be part of a problem with the most simple answer (legalise it, but a conversation for another time).
Thank you for highlighting vendors you have researched, I will look them up.
If I may just add to your list of decent vendors, I have been using MKK2020 a lot and I believe they grow a lot of their own. The service is excellent to the point where I had a minor issue and they resolved it brilliantly.
Cheers

Give me a number, or a word, I'll write it on a piece of paper then put it infront of my grow.
I'm of dual heritage, but yeah, I'm British (as you might have guessed)
Nothing to hide. But I agree, let's oust the dodgy geezers on here.
Cheers BB

I'd do the same if it helped.
But I would take a guess that most vendors arnt growers themselves.

Thanks for your openness, I get the feeling most venders on here are genuine like yourself, but there is a dark side to this industry that are also in the business of people trafficking and slavery and there products should not reach the LB community.
Noble enough sentiment, but you do then start to ask about the potential human cost that put your shirt on your back and the potential inhumanity that put that sausage on your plate.
I get it that suffering in the drug chain is a big part of the ‘Just Say No’ argument but it’s hardly unique in mass consumerism. I guess growing your own is the way to go (and making your own clothes, going vegan etc)...just don’t have time.

I hear you pollypuff and agree whole heartedly, unfortunately I suffer from the inherent human disposition of only seeing the problems in things when they have affected you or someone close to you.
Getting a medical prescription is the only way to be confident that your weed is unadulterated. It is easy process if you have an unmet medical need
Thanks Forestfire, My needs are not medical though, I just love to get high from time to time!
we need a decentralised testing solution. the last thing i want in my life is some twat with the authority to tell me if i can smoke weed.
Was thinking about this yesterday. I started shopping here a few months ago because I had to stop growing my own. It was nice to know you were full organic, not bothering anyone, not causing any problems with your smoke. But because it's illegal here I am getting it from god knows where :(

What is post-scarcity?
Seems like negative interest rates are post scarcity for money.
a pipe dream, even with free replication of everything people find a way to have scarcity. look at what people pay for things in game worlds.

OK so what's better at this moment Star Wars or Star Trek?
That still doesn't answer the question, you must choose.

Do you mean Jar Jar Binks was a great new thing? No, that was an omen of things to come. As for the new trilogy, somebody must have been put in charge of supplying adult diapers to the original cast members. Probably changed them as well.
jar jar binks would have been awesome in the muppets, this is exactly why you need the right agent folks
Both franchises are getting as old as mythology, this op ed piece from syfy (yes they have op-ed pieces :) ) hits it on the money for Trek.
I like both though lately they have both been crap film wise but i would say star wars is better just from their tv series The Mandalorian its a great show and they have some really talented producers cutting their teeth on it,if they can keep up the quality with the new shows they announced coming then the future looks bright for them,Star Trek tv show on the other hand is bollocks and needs to stop dicking around changing canon.
I think they have both been rubbish for a long time. Probably since the 80's. Just milking it.
Ok, then. Had to think about it for a while. Going to go with Star Wars.. Final decision was made because someone rammed a Star Destroyer in Rogue One.

Bitcoin network fees, please simplify.
No upvote for the help? You're going to make people think Scotts are cheap.
Bitcoin network fees, please simplify.
I tried to order a $10 joint, just to try that strain I usually buy more.
I have $36 in my BTC wallet and it tells me that I don't have enough to cover network fees!! Are network fees for that transaction really more than €26?
I've tried slow, fast the lot, apparently $26 isn't enough.
I can't justify that, I had to cancel the order as I've had to do with several other orders as I never seen to have enough to cover the extortionate network fees.
Bloody frustrating.

I got done to the tune of £110 on a Q a few days ago including £18/$25 in fees. Should be able to get a half for that but just run out and needed the reload
Pretty gutting I hope LB can do something about this - don't see it getting better either with Tesla, Apple etc buying up crazy amounts of coin
What provider are you using?

Dude it's no fun, I've just found out that opera browser on Android has a built-in crypto wallet.
I'm unsure about BTC purchase charges through it but the network fee seems lower.
I've also been advised to order at non peak times as network fees are lower then.
Currently I use crypto.com and their own wallet, must be a cheaper way man.

youve done what you can bigga, which is changing the fee. maybe your wallet provider has a minimum transaction setting?
Not sure why Coinbase fees are lower than a lot of others but it only cost me £1.27 to send a vendor some BTC yesterday
If I forget to upvote just give me a nudge, I suffer from a poor memory.

what if we let the boomers die?
just playing devil's advocate here literally. and I know there's a zillion boomers right here on lb.
but we are shutting down the planet, this is the largest mutual effort in history. the only thing that compares is oddly enough, war.
in war old leaders decide to send young people to their death, wiping them out and their many potential offspring. yet the old are especially protected. this doesn't make sense in any societal or evolutionary way it just serves the self interest of the old - who happen to be the rulers calling this shot.
now the young are called up again, in history's largest timeout they will lose finances, jobs and sanity as they are terrified into submission to save .0001 of the population, nearly all of who will die from other causes within a few years.
im not really advocating we let anyone die, i am happy to sacrifice for them further than this but lets call this what it is, the story that is always hidden. self interest from the ruling class.

I disagree strongly with the war comparison - that's not an example of a mutual effort, but the opposite: it's an example of large scale confrontation. People were called up to defend/attack from other people. MILLIONS of people died over YEARS.
This is a public health crisis, not a war. And the young haven't been called up, keyworkers, carers and health staff have. When I've been out and about with my family, it's fairly clear that the younger generations are the least bothered by what's going on, and aren't necessarily abiding by the guidelines to any effective degree.
And sadly, I don't think this is even something defined by the self interest of the ruling class. I think it's exposed the current ruling class is about as clueless as it ever had been. Johnson's flabby ensemble of random wankers have never at any point been good leaders. They got there off the back of a dishonest, divisionary Brexit campaign based on some entirely different agenda. They now have absolutely no idea what they're doing.
Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to humanity that if a democracy is to succeed, you can only back honest, able and skilled statesmen. Anyone less means we're fucked if there's any deviation from their intended narrative.
I don't blame anyone in this scenario. It's a collective human failure that it escalated to this scale. What I think matters now is the outlook, vision and ability of the leaders that might rebuild for the future. In 2019, world leadership probably never looked so weak... in the entirety of human history. And in the UK, we've currently got one of the most inept setups. BUT. Look at Starmer circling, look what we need to overcome, look what we want to build.
Give it a year or two and I think HOPE will be a usable word again. The Johnson/Trump/Bullshit breed need to move aside.

Yes but the fact that people are even looking to politicians in an era of science, free flow of information and consensus building media - why the fuck do we still have the twats?
I know my case is extreme, but its not just old people who need protecting. My son is 2 years old and immunocompromised from chemotherapy. I don't fully believe in the lockdown but it is a bit more assuring for me that it isn't running rampant out there.
You definitely have a point.
The approach of "us-versus-them' is in fact a very European way of dealing with matters.
Indifference to social position, and consequently, acceptance of one's social status no matter what it is, became somehow a doctrine and a duty in the current world (if we are honest to ourselves): it is really the ideal philosophy, an ideological superstructure adequate to peacefully govern our world, conquered with its own consent.
'The old" send "the young" to wars. Because, "the young" (well, all ages really) willingly accept, for example, army duty.
It is only natural, that in current situation, "the young" are contemplating 'retaliation'. :)
I think, the value of a human life became something very insignificant.
Young people wait on the old to die in retirement homes, old are upset with the young, that they show no respect, etc.
A vicious circle.
And we do not really value human life, because we do not understand the concept of self-worth.
Which is nowadays confused with 'pouvoir d'achat', like they say in french (ability to buy). Just look at who the majority of humans are looking up to (movie stars, ufc fighters, etc.)
The thing is, we are never independent or self-made, and we all hopefully will be old one day too. So what connects old and young is gratitude.
No life is more important than another, whether it is an old life or a young one.
And no ideology or state will defend this point at all times, speaking sociologically or/and economically. It is self-damaging to an ideology or a state.
Should we or should we not do this or that? I don't know. Each individual should decide for himself.
I know that generalising (oh those olds, oh those youngs, oh those russians, oh those arabs, oh those french, oh those - would be an insult to my own intelligence.
A boomer is different from another boomer. And i am a survivor and want my children to be survivors too.
I may be never be in a position where i can decide on a broader scale of "should we or should we not".
But i can decide on my personal level and i just value life more than i value my ego.
Here is my humble opinion.
Thank you for being brave and raising this point.
It is important to discuss without fear to offend.
That is what freedom of speech is no?

Very thoughtful post (what a pleasure to read this instead of another sycophantic review), thank you for it my bigga.
I'm going to differ on one point. I think the perceived value of life is heading up and pretty much always has.
We are in the midst of the greatest human sacrifice for the least number of lives (in relative terms) ever.
Today's wars kill fewer in total than we lost in a week in WW1 or 2.
Murder rates are way down compared to history.
The financial investment made to squeeze out a few more years is more substantial than even our most recent ancestors could ever imagine.
There's lots more stats like this, they are hard to see when media profits from perceived conflict and makes everything look cataclysmic to get your attention.

I'm not old (38) and I very nearly got axed by COVID. I don't have a pre existing condition. It's worth considering that many young or younger people with pre-existing conditions are at high risk, as are the disabled and many mentally ill people. The structures of society also make sure that the poor are disproportionatily affected. So, what you're proposing, hypothetical or not, is a cull on the people in society who most need our support. And, I would add, people who add a huge amount of value to our societies. I am as annoyed by how our 'era' turned out as anyone, but putting boomers to death for the greater good? C'mon. Besides, the ruling class are not all old - they have children, who will inherit. Killing old (rich) people would do nothing for society. Advocating that other (poor) people's parents and grandparents have had their time is basically inhuman, or at least profoundly lacking in empathy.
Glad you are ok bigga and your message is hella important. Can I ask do you think there was a better way to handle this? Are you happy with the whole world shutting down to protect you?

We need more youngsters in politics and less old farts creaming off the state. I think you reach an age when you start to become more selfish and want to accrue wealth. Bills and mortgages start to wear you down. I was definitely more idealistic when younger. We need to be a lot braver with who we allow to run the world and kick out the old guard. the youngsters are going to be paying off our debts for ever unless we change the system. Guy fawkes had the right idea.
I believe I am generation X but I will react anyway. It is an interesting discussion and I understand the thought behind it. The biggest issue I have with your statement is: what makes you think that older generations are not impacted by lock downs or other measures against the virus? Like we are all sipping whisky at our 2nd vacation homes. Your generation or any other is not sacrificing more then any other generation. Much love to you all
Probably fair to say they're not going to pay the bills incurred and they're not having their careers snuffed out before they've begun, they're overwhelmingly locked down in better circumstances than the young.
I'm Gen X and thanking my lucky stars I'm not still in hospitality and shared accommodation.
I'm Gen X and thanking my lucky stars I'm not still in hospitality and shared accommodation.
I don't want my parents to die any more than I want anyone else's, but the quality of life for the young is clearly being sacrificed again for the most protected generation that ever lived.
Interesting read here
It does seem if we were a little more honest about this we might come up with a better solution than locking everyone up.
Kind of irrelevant IMO because as a species we are all doomed anyway, which I'm OK with, but it's shame we're going to take most of the biosphere with us though, as it's really no fault of theirs. We are species out of control and one which is destroying it's environment. The planet will be much better of without us humans stinking up the place!
here's what im thinking, as long as when i'm burned for fuel a billion years from now there's this little bit of thc somehow left there all that time. and it says thanks, yeah, thanks, THANKS.
agree somewhat, the damage to economy is going to kill tens of thousands alone, potentially more than would be lost to Covid, but perhaps not (Not an expert by any means). I invite people to look at how many people died on average each 2010-2015 due to austerity measures and debt. Suicides will go up to.
Im in the self employed bracket its truly shit but i think society will come out of this better on the whole
I am in the same boat and i like your positive outlook.
"Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time" - right?
We should also come out of this with as less damage and casualties as possible.
Been self-employed throughout 3 different continents and over a decade already and self-employed equals survivor to me at this point.
