I&#8217;m thinking groceries especially.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This came up in conversation with a friend and fellow Outlaw the other day. And we, who are usually pretty much in harmony, had quite different takes on the subject.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Me:<\/strong><\/strong> Fully vaxxed and boostered friends or black marketeers will make food runs for us and we&#8217;ll continue to quietly refuse to bow to Faucism no matter what pressures are brought to bear.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Him:<\/strong><\/strong> (Quoting something he&#8217;d read online) &#8220;If I can&#8217;t buy groceries, then nobody&#8217;s gonna buy groceries.&#8221; Elaborating: Saboteurs and monkeywrenchers will track those who take advantage of their government-granted &#8220;privilege&#8221; of buying food. Those whose vehicles are spotted in grocery store parking lots will find their tires slashed, their gas tanks drained, or be otherwise marked as collaborators. It will be made painful and scary for them. If <em>some<\/em> of us are forbidden to buy groceries, then we&#8217;ll make it dangerous for <em>any<\/em> of us to buy groceries. Such was my friend&#8217;s take.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Me:<\/strong><\/strong> Wow, that&#8217;s pretty harsh. That&#8217;s attacking both the innocent &#8212; those who simply want to eat &#8212; and the helpful. Some of those &#8220;privileged&#8221; people might be buying for their friends, neighbors, and relatives. I know people who would do that, either out of the goodness of their hearts or to make a small profit while still doing good. Why attack them?<\/p>\n<p>We went back and forth, coming to no particular conclusions, but talking about such theoretical possibilities as Outlaws or black marketeers hijacking grocery distribution trucks, taking over food stores, or using non-lethal methods of preventing anyone from accessing stores (e.g. setting off stink bombs).<\/p>\n<p>Sure, cutting off the unvaxxed and insufficiently boostered from food sources may never happen. In some ways it seems unlikely &#8212; a bridge too far, too reminiscent of Stalin&#8217;s genocide of the Kulaks. But then, nearly everything that&#8217;s been imposed on us in the last two years in the name of COVID would have seemed <em>wildly<\/em> unlikely as recently as 2019. <\/p>\n<p>So we can discount no possibilities. We&#8217;re dealing with people who <em>gloat<\/em> at the prospect of our deaths, who <em>want<\/em> the world depopulated (looking at you Bill and Klaus), and who increasingly brook no resistance from We the Peasants. These are also people who believe they can do anything they want without ever facing consequences.<\/p>\n<p>So even if you and your neighbors can produce most of your own food, or even if you&#8217;ve got a year or more of stocks in your pantry, what do you think you and your neighbors would or should do in a situation where diktats aim to prevent your fellow humans from feeding themselves and their families?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, 2021 hadn&#8217;t even died its well-deserved death before the CDC basically created a whole new class of the unvaxxed insufficiently vaxxed.
