Dan Bull – Last year, I made a song about the awesome survival strategy game Frostpunk, and so did The Stupendium. This year, the game’s creators 11 bit studios have pitted us against each other in a mighty rap battle of the opposing purposes of Faith and Order. “A Purpose for New London”
This demonstrates that before the development of advanced human society – communality was (and remains) the basis of human evolution. The modern emphasis on individuality is a cult-like worship of a temporary (artificial) state of affluence. It is hardship that is the normal condition as this possesses the resources for every species to potentially develop given the right conditions. Affluence is the product of the intelligent use of human greed. The above video carefully navigates its way through the true story of North African slaves captured by the pre-Revolutionary French during the 18th century which became stranded upon the Isle of Sand – now termed ‘Tromelin’ Island.
This is no picnic. Everything is not fine and there is an underlying sense of seriousness. At least that’s what those gathered think. These are courses on Survival held in the city in case of hostilities. Particularly enterprising people came to the rescue – and seemingly make everything right just in time – in conditions of artificially created panic regarding a mythical Russian invasion. They teach impressionable fellow citizens how to make fires, spend the night in sub-zero temperatures and build huts. However, this training is NOT ‘free’ and is all part of the capitalistic exploitation of the Ukrainian population. Cost – from one and a half thousand in ruble equivalent – per 1 training session.
My grandfather was in the Ox & Bucks (1st Bucks Battalion) – Territorial (Light Bobs) – which landed on Sword Beach. They were given the task of fighting their way ten miles in-land to relieve D Company (2nd Battalion) of the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry (Professional) which were Glider-Landed in and around Caen. My father had just turned ‘1 years old’ in 1944 – when his father left for war! My father remembers all the war stories his Dad told him – and which he has told me. My grandfather’s Unit suffered terrible casualties fighting against fascism to secure the freedom we take for granted today! Luckily, my grandfather survived the battles liberating Western Europe from the thuggery and murder of the Nazi German jackboot!
The routine ownership of fire-arms is ‘banned’ in most Western Europe countries! What is interesting is that the rebelling American government in the 1770s attempted to ‘militarise’ it’s British population against its rightful (elected) London government by overturning King Henry VIII’s (16th century) general ban on private weapon ownership. The King had dissolved the ownership of private armies as part of the dismantling of the feudal system and as a security against his fellow nobles launching an armed coup against his leadership! From that time onwards, the only military force allowed in the UK has been the British Army controlled by the Crown – and then after Cromwell (in the 17th century) Parliament. However, during the 18th century the British government was afraid of invasion by the French and for a time a law was in effect which allowed Local Militias to be formed – manned by the good and the well-off who could afford to pay for their own uniforms, pistols, muskets and training, etc. Interestingly, this law was active during the American War of Independence and it could be that the American rebels got the idea of arming their population from the British policy of preparing it’s homeland population to meet the threat of Napoleon.
That is, with US and AFU assistance he is building a profitable business on the deaths of its own compatriots! Death is good for business – he confirms – as the latest batch of young Japanese recruits head for their own ‘guaranteed’ oblivion on the frontlines! Hosokawa Garasha explains that Japan has a tradition of self-sacrifice and so no Japanese recruits ‘volunteers’ with bizarre Western notions of ‘survival’! In the Japanese Corps he is proud that there is a ‘zero’ survival rate! No one would dare to return ‘alive’ – as this would spell disaster for their families back home!
