Plan B is good and what my wife and I are doing now. But Plan B still requires basic social peace, economic stability and non-intrusion from meddling parties. The sickening dynamic at the heart of lockdowns (one which the CCP has brought to full fruition) is that it requires all those things as sacrifices. Lockdowns absorb all those things and convert them into 'virtue'. The greedy ghouls who gave us lockdowns, the G20 goons who talk about rewiring the global financial system and interoperable health IDs - they won't let us B Planners get on in isolated peace. They will take all the small things we enjoy, even (especially) the things they don't know about. They are the forces of Sauron and not even the Shire is safe from them. So Plan B is also going to have to involve fighting back, hard, in a way that can actually be won. I have no idea what that looks like yet, but at least a lot of people are asking the same questions.
Our gas and electricity supplies are insecure, so we now have soaring prices, threats of 'managed demand'- aka blackouts, the Net Zero cultists have taken over our leaders and mass illegal migration continues , with HMG's connivance.
We have widespread strike action and a decidedly repellent bunch in Westminster, Holyrood and Cardiff, who assure us that they have our best interests at heart, while they screw up our society ,our future and our economy.
But resistance is growing and online comments reveal increasing anger and cynicism.
As usual, i enjoy your writing, but that second paragrapraph was somehow the most terrifying description of 'society's relationship with truth' i've encountered.
Slowly and quietly, new worlds will develop, leaving the old, corrupt machine to either crumble or destroy itself. It’s too broken to fix, do not waste your time on it. Long live Plan B.
I enjoyed your last 2 pieces via Brownstone (this one and Resolve to think carefully), and while I agree with many of your viewpoints, I would like to suggest that issues, ie Covid origins, climate change, lockdown protests, vaccine safety and Ukraine, don't always align. If I've learned anything in my 63 years, it's that easy classification of issues along ideological lines won't work. What is required is a nuanced and in-depth understanding of each issue, one issue at a time. Life is complicated. Think of Fauci's two lies about masks in March and April 2020, neither of them noble, and neither in accord with medical practice and knowledge for the preceding 25-50 years. If you believed one and then the next, you'd have been misinformed twice! In different directions! I applaud your suggestion to keep reading, and not mainstream media, but surely the quality and origin of the articles and authors is equally as important as the ideological variety.

My disgust and alienation grow by the day, here in corrupt and barmy Blighty, where lies, grievances and chaos gather daily:

Hello Richard
I enjoyed your last 2 pieces via Brownstone (this one and Resolve to think carefully), and while I agree with many of your viewpoints, I would like to suggest that issues, ie Covid origins, climate change, lockdown protests, vaccine safety and Ukraine, don't always align.
