Same. I regret not having ten kids. I only had two and now I'm too old. If I could go back in time I'd start at 20 and keep having as many as I could. And I homeschool my kids. They're far from weird and they're super social. Weird comments in here suggesting the only place kids hang out with...

Ukraine and Russia not exporting wheat and fertiliser is going to mean more than an opportunity in the food market... It's going to lead to famine. Smart green houses will be required with global climate change but I'd say anything that teaches people how to grow and preserve food in creative...

Couldn't agree more. It was covid and all the conspiracy theories that came with it that got me into this mindset. I've been prepping for about a year now and after I got to a certain point for myself and my family, I started on my community. You're absolutely right. At this stage it's when not...

Dude, lay off the wacky baccy.

Agreed. I first noticed this during Brexit and subsequently covid. If you disagree with the person/narrative, you're clearly not even human. Quite, quite bizarre. :D

No.

I don't know if a maternity hospital was bombed or who bombed it. Remember the incubator stories? I don't relish the fact we live in a post-truth world. But here we are. The OP above was right, MSM has absolutely destroyed any semblance of trust. For a long time now. It's a very sad...

Because it's all a pile of bollocks. We're but pawns in a terrible game. I'm not going to debate with you because it's more than clear where you stand on the whole thing. You're so convinced you know. It's very interesting to watch.

Yes, I have many doubts. I'm in doubt about all of it. I don't know what's really going on. None of us do. 2 years ago people were falling down dead in the streets of China with covid. I don't trust any of it. Literally none of it. If that makes me a fool, so be it.

I've not seen anyone complaining about Ukraine and turning a blind eye to Russia. I see a lot of people in this thread quite rightly refusing to believe what they're told on MSM and realising that none of us can know what's really going on.

Much easier to fake when masks cover the mouth! Convenient :D

I filled my oil tank before the price goes up even further. FWIW it's double the price it was in November. And I'm stocking up on and growing food. Because, you know, impending food crisis...

Doesn't the Ukraine and Russia export 30% of the world's fertiliser and wheat? This is going to be a serious problem. China already hoarded a lot of wheat. It's likely been preparing for this.

I see that's now being reported as fake news.

An overly-simplistic view, I fear.

Yeah. You said it. Have some kids, man. And my Dad's a boomer. He lived through post war poverty and rationing. I think you mean Gen Z don't stand much of a chance and I'd agree with you on that 100%.

Isn't cyberwarfare more of a potential? Schwab already told us it's the next pandemic... ?
