Today, though, we're 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: just gonna run through some headline news to give us 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: a sense of where we're at here. At the start 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: of twenty fifty five, it has been a busy couple 21 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: of weeks, and then we've got a special report on 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: Singapore and on supply chain logistics from our own Meal Wong. 23 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: So if you're sick of here and me, you should 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: stick around or fast forward.

You haven't seen videos 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: of baby dinosaurs sledding, you're missing out. The center left, 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: revolutionarily aligned New People's Liberation Force of Louisiana announced today 33 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: that they've taken control of Baton Rouge, driving out the 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: independent warlord Don Raptor, who had gone from the showy 35 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: proprietor of the Dino Zoo Don's Wild Pets to becoming 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: dictator one of the most climate ravaged parts of North America. 37 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: Don's fate is unknown at this time. This new expansion 38 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: of territory marks the first time that the NPLFL has 39 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: extended their control past the city of New Orleans, and 40 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: of course is likely to cause backlash from the Christian 41 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: nationalist group the Louisiana People's Force for Democracy and Freedom. 42 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: But it's still a cause for celebration. It's always a 43 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: cause for celebration when people succeed at doing good stuff, 44 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: even if there's always an inevitable backlash. The Deputy Prime 45 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: Minister of Canada, John Harold Chris James, announced today at 46 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: a press conference that Canada is now revoking the residency 47 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: permits of all citizens of the former United States who 48 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: were granted residency in exchange for building the wall along 49 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: its southern border. Now that the wall is ninety percent completed, 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: basically they're done with us. Chris James said that the 51 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: residency program, officially called the turn your backs on your 52 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: shitty country to join our Grade one program, was a 53 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: remnant of quote World War III and a moment of 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: sheer desperation by our great country, and that all Americans 55 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: should get the fuck out and fix their own country. 56 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: It was, of course a statement from the deputing Prime 57 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: Minister of Canada, because the Prime Minister of Canada, the 58 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: right wing former twitch streaming star Maximus Rome Smith, has 59 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: not made a public appearance in two years, and that 60 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: analysis of all publicly available material from him appears likely 61 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: to be deep fakes scripted by Chris James working with 62 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: old fashioned chat GPT style AAI, so no one knows 63 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: where Maximus is. Normally I'd say good riddance, but Chris 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: James not any better.

Despite living in one of the most climate 72 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: change ravaged continents on the planet, fighting continues against the 73 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: white nationalist forces that control South Africa and against Islamic 74 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: forces along the northeast coast of the continent.

Zombie dire wolves 172 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: are slower and less capable in battle, but like all 173 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: reanimated dead, it is very easy to direct them to kill. 174 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: The offensive comes at an unfortunate time, as most of 175 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: the people's defense units of the area are currently fighting 176 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: elsewhere because the area was scene is pretty safe. The 177 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: attack really came out of nowhere. Civilian militias have begun 178 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: to repel the attack, but at great cost. This week 179 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: we also mourned the loss of Warren van Beek. You 180 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: probably haven't heard of Warren van Beek, and there's a 181 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: reason for that. For twenty years, Warren worked deep undercover 182 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: within the white nationalist movement in Johannesburg, feeding information to 183 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: anti fascists. It's thanks to Warren's work we know about 184 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: the failed Nationalist Unity Conference of twenty fifty. Garon Robert 185 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: did a whole week on this topic back then when 186 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: the findings came out, and it's worth going back and 187 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: listening to. But brief well, the nationalists have a pretty 188 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: major internal conflict, and internal conflict that serves us well. 189 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: There are three major factions on the nationalist side. There's 190 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: the Stalingrad Faction, the Dallas faction, and the Johannesburg faction. 191 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: The stalin Grad faction believes that all the nationalist forces 192 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: should be united under a single leader Russia. The Dallas 193 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: faction they believe more or less the same thing, but 194 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: think that the US should be in charge. The Johannesburg faction, 195 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: joined by hundreds of regional forces from around the world, 196 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: believes that the alliance between nationalist forces should not be unified, 197 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: but instead the global right wing should stay decentralized. It's 198 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: good to know that they have the same problems we do. 199 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: It was Warren von Beek who exposed this divide to 200 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: the internationalist community, at great risk to himself and the 201 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: internationalist community. Social engineers have been able to do an 202 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: awful lot of deepening that divide. This is a war 203 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: full of nameless behind the scene heroes, and now that 204 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: he's dead, we can acknowledge that Warren von Beek was 205 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: one of them. If it weren't for von Beek's work, 206 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: we might all right now be living under nationalist stalinist governance. 207 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: We don't yet have the full details about his death, 208 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: but it seems as though he died clutching a grenade 209 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: when fascist forces raided his house. 210 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: I guess he'd been outed. 211 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: Mostly he took four of those fuckers out with him. 212 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Warren. Glad you blow yourself up so 213 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: they can't reanimate your body. While we're on the subject 214 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: of right wing in fighting this time. It's bad news 215 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: about that. It's in fighting in Allian scene. The Arizonian 216 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: anti Pope Benedict the seventeenth announced today that his Army 217 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: of the Righteous Catholic Faith has signed a peace treaty 218 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: with the white nationalist Protestant leader John the New Baptist, 219 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: paving the way for new Catholic slash Protestant unity fighting 220 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: for a white nationalist America. This ends, or at least pauses, 221 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: three years of bloodshed between various shades of far right Christians. 222 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: Benedict the seventeenth and his followers were of course, formally 223 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: excommunicated from the Catholic Church ten years ago during the 224 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: Disconcordant when Benedict the seventeenth told his followers that the 225 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: Pope was the Antichrist for having supported citizen efforts to 226 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: end World War Three. In much better news, scientists have 227 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: announced that good Boy Benny is now the oldest dog 228 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: to have ever lived, having reached thirty years of age. 229 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Benny was the second dog to have undergone age delayment treatments, 230 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: and the first one to be so successful. But there 231 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: are tens of thousands of beloved friends across the world 232 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: who have now lived extraordinarily long lives thanks to the 233 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: age delayment treatments. Fifteen years ago, scientists claimed by twenty 234 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: fifty five, dogs and cats will live as long as humans. 235 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: Of course, when they said that in twenty forty, they 236 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: didn't realize that war and climate change were about to 237 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: drop the world wide life expectancy by thirty years or so. 238 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: So dogs and humans are racing to keep up. An 239 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: anti fascist revolt in the heartland of white nationalism broke 240 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: out over New Year's unnamed anti fascist group in Knoxville, 241 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: Tennessee put out a press release calling their revolt the 242 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: Night of Nat Turner, and then they went on a 243 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: targeted killing spree of local nationalist bureaucrats as well as 244 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: several prominent racist figureheads. They killed a total of nine targets. 245 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: Sixteen of the rebels were killed in the attack. Well 246 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: another six have made it to Free West Virginia. And 247 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: that's about where we're at here at the start of 248 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: twenty fifty five, besides all the stuff that went on 249 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: in Singapore, which we have some in depth reporting from 250 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: MIA about that and about the state of the supply chain. 251 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: But first it's time for a little ad break. Don't 252 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: you think even thinking, as it's been two long since 253 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: Margaret cut to ads, what's held all this filler? I 254 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: know a lot of you all subscribed to Cooler Zone 255 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: media just to get the weird edited, just the ad transitions. 256 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: So you know, here's an ad transition. It's time to 257 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: stop eating house plants. The Council for Countering Houseplant Consumption 258 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: would like to remind you that most houseplants are mildly 259 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: toxic to humans and do not contain nutritional value. The 260 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: videos telling you pothoses a superfood were likely cooked up 261 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: in a Dallas misinformation lab. Do not eat house plants. 262 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: Are you tired of suffering from climate grief syndrome, overwhelmed 263 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: by hot summers and mass extinction? Do you want to 264 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: spend your time riding a stegosaurce through the remaining forests 265 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: of the world, rifle in hand, friends close by, listening 266 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: to the birds shooting clearcutters. The Earth's lungs Defense Force 267 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: might be right for you. We are looking for dedicated 268 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: environmentalists willing to stand between the lungs of the Earth 269 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: and the corporations that are trying. 270 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: To destroy them. 271 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: All potental applicants must pass a mandatory background check to 272 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: determine eligibility. Disqualifying factors include an inability to distinguish between 273 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: sustainable harvest and clear cutting or impulse control, or a 274 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: sentimental attachment to human life. The ELDF advocates violence and 275 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: is considered a terrorist organization by all nationals governments as 276 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: well as roughly twenty percent of internationalist governments, and even 277 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: application to the ELDF may be considered criminally punishable in 278 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: your jurisdiction. Joining the Earth's Lungs Defense Force has not 279 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: yet been tested in double blind studies to reduce the 280 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: symptoms of climate grief syndrome. Ask your therapist today if 281 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: joining the Earth's Lungs Defense Force is right for you. 282 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: We turn now to a different kind of war. Update. 283 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: Much has already even said about last week's sudden collapse 284 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: of Singapore's ruling People's Action Party and the wave of 285 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: assassinations that finally broke the stalemate on the Singapore in Front. 286 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: I will leave the immediate military analysis to others, stopping 287 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: here only to note that running an entire social system 288 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: based on having a bunch of servants to poor co 289 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: of water free use you don't have to get up 290 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: for your couch is an extremely bad way to run 291 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 2: a society, both morally and logistically, and move swiftly on. 292 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: What I am interested in, however, is how Singapore became 293 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: a front to the first place, and how shifts in 294 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: global supply logistics heralded but not entirely produced by World 295 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: War three point five, has led us to the end 296 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: of Singapore, one of the world's most brutal settler colonies, 297 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: at the hands of internationalists and indigenous gorillas. Singapore's relative 298 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: weakness in their war against both the internationalists and their 299 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: own population has been in large part of product of 300 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 2: what we've been calling the devolution of the supply chain. 301 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: The devolution of the supply chain we've seen over the 302 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: last half decade was, of course a devolution in a 303 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 2: double sense. On one hand, control of the vast global 304 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: supply chains administered by massive corporations devolved down to either 305 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 2: networks of coordinating councils or legis six wings of state armies. 306 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: On the other hand, supply chains were now largely run 307 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 2: by dinosaurs. As we all remember well on the day 308 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: of one thousand Suez Is in twenty forty nine, when 309 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: a transwoman named Lily Baker and catch the first interview 310 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 2: she's done since she literally went underground in season two 311 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: of Under the Pants and Under the Ground, tasked with 312 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 2: keeping the Internet running across three quarters of the world's 313 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: cargo ships, simply walked away from her desk after being 314 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: mistreated on the job one too many times and never 315 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 2: came back, causing a pile up of ships in the 316 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: Suez that remains to this day. The tattered remains of 317 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: the old globe spanning supply chains collapse completely in their wake. 318 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 2: The essentialized networks of light manufacturing that had sprung up 319 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 2: as attempts by civilians to survive the previous World War 320 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: by producing the things they needed to survive for themselves, 321 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: revved into full gear to supply them. Vast land convoys 322 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: made of past of Cortheosaurus pulled massive carts of supplies 323 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 2: to areas too contested for the surviving train networks to function. Meanwhile, 324 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: on the high seas, after a brief foray into a 325 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: resurgence of sailboats proved unable to meet the challenge of 326 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 2: running ships. In the age of the Vishnu Shield, various 327 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 2: types of Ichiosaurus have an instrumental in moving supplies across 328 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 2: the oceans. The massive supply platforms they haul are of 329 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 2: course home to the famous pirate parties, the terradacto mounted 330 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 2: buccaneer Dino writers who played such a crucial role in 331 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: cutting fascist logistics lines across one hundred fronts. We'll be 332 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: talking about the platformists and their pirate parties on the 333 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,239 Speaker 2: show in a few weeks, so stay tuned for that. 334 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 2: But in the meantime, it's not just pirate activities that 335 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 2: we can Singapore's defenses. Chinese d industrialization is of course 336 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 2: an old phenomena, dating back to the nearly prehistoric twenty tens, 337 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: when I was still a breadad young lass, still wearing 338 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: men's clothing and posting. 339 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: In text on the original tow. 340 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 2: But it was in the Rush belts of Shenzhen, eviscerated 341 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: by decades of a paradoxical combination of trade wars and 342 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: offshoring that intensified the movement of capital down the Mekong 343 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: Delta and into the Chinese interior of previous eras that 344 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 2: the Third Chinese Civil War began, and it was the 345 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 2: devolution of the supply chain that finally ended once and 346 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 2: for all China's role as what early twentieth century writer 347 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 2: Andrea's mom called the smoke stacks of the world. But 348 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: what does all this have to do with Singapore. Some 349 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 2: of you already know that Dino writers from the either 350 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: optimistically or nihilistically named Final Shanghai Commune, the successor to 351 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: the Second and Third Shanghai Communes of the twenty thirties 352 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 2: and twenty forties, were instrumental in cutting off fascist reinforcements 353 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: from Beijing. But the most extensive damage inflicted on Singapore 354 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 2: by the devolution of the supply chain was economic. Singapore's 355 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: role as a financial clearinghouse for capital in the Pacific 356 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: RIM was already being made obsolete by the shift of 357 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 2: capital away from the old Chinese and more modern Vietnamese 358 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: rouss belts even before the old supply chains collapsed completely. 359 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 2: But as they disappeared, much of Singapore's economy went with it. 360 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: When Neo Neom City, the first city That's a perfect circle, 361 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 2: sink beneath the waves two years ago, it took most 362 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 2: of Singapore's capital reserves beneath the waves with it, Now 363 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: fatally weakened to besieged by internationalist forces, All it took 364 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: was some clever weapons smuggling and the rage of an 365 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 2: indigenous population forced to endure the endless cruelty of the 366 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: Chinese Singaporean settlers to topple the People's Action Parties one 367 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: party state. To everyone on the front lines, we can 368 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: for the first time declare today Singapore, tomorrow the world. 369 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: And that's where we stand. It's a bright, bold new year. 370 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: I can't claim in all good conscience that it's going 371 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: to be better than last year. It'll probably be worse. 372 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: Most years are going to be worse. 373 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: Whatever. 374 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: You're old enough to know this. Every year is worse 375 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: than the year before because of the climate apocalypse and 376 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: encroaching fascism. But there are still so many beautiful things 377 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: that we accomplish, and there's such beautiful lives that we 378 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: can lead. Our lives that are shorter, any less valuable. 379 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 2: No, not at all. 380 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: A life is a life is a life.
