We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata quote of the day “Switching transport to electric in a short timescale will inevitably mean buying Chinese. Are we really about to force ourselves to become even more reliant on a totalitarian regime that stamps out freedom in Hong Kong, commits genocide against the Uighurs, threatens war on Taiwan and refuses to be transparent about how a pandemic began near its leading virus laboratory?”
Matt Ridley.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

The West is more than willing to support what China does because “out of sight, out of mind” is a thing.
Switching transport to electric is thought to be a good idea by ignorant people who are under the delusion that it will save the planet from imaginary problems.
Australia fears a war with China within 5 years…..but yet the economy is dependant on its raw material exports.
Meanwhile it imports thousands of solar panels….let alone electric cars
The madness of current Western policy – both the energy-and-transport policy, and the dependence on the People’s Republic of China, is difficult to overstate.
The international Western establishment are either fools or traitors – or both.
Yes.
Can a fool be a traitor too?
