lmost all of us are bullied at some stage, which leaves
scars whether we are kids or pensioners at some nasty
old age homes where footage has shown horrendous
levels of torture. One of the world’s most hated men is a
narcissistic bully who thinks he will get away with the harm
done to millions of people. Putin, Stalin, and Adolf Hitler
were all masters at cultivating fear and tyrannical control.
Ironically, Putin is not a Marxist and promotes Kremlin-
KGB-capitalism. He wants a vast world that stretches from
Germany to China but underestimates the well-armed and
determined people living there. Thousands of Russians have
been protesting, getting arrested, and leaving Russia. His
fantasist, Tsarist styled Russian empire will never survive in
an informed modern world where people want freedom and
resistance grows exponentially.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy enjoys levels
of popularity never seen before and his defiant bravery to
stand by his people to fight against overwhelming forces has
impressed everybody.
The suffering in Russia and the Ukraine is pointless as
nobody will back down. NATO and the US have never been
this united and the world’s isolation of Russia reminded us
that we all need each other. The exodus of almost four million
Ukrainians is the greatest humanitarian disaster since the
Second World War. It has had a huge impact on the supply of
critically important resources globally. Most of those resources
required for anything from car to aircraft manufacturing are
available in South Africa, including platinum and palladium.
Our own “Silicon Valley belt” from Upington to Boegoe
Bay may soon develop in this 700km long corridor, as the
production of silicon gains traction. Being the most important
components for microchips and solar panels it could
stimulate local production. SASOL and Toyota have also
started the process to export green hydrogen from Boegoe
Bay. Discoveries of crucial raw materials have increased
in Africa during the past decade. International migratory
patterns since 1970 have increased by 700% according to
the World Migration report 2020. Ukraine’s war impacts far
wider than anticipated, especially on migratory patterns in an
era where people can work remotely.
Thousands of affluent people have also been migrating
to South Africa, even though about 4000 multi-millionaires
have left South Africa since 2020, so there is room for a more
tax-friendly base.
We must rely on ourselves to establish safe spaces for
us, as there is an abundance of skills and resources in our
community to create anything we need. Let’s start building
everything we need from gay lifestyle villages to harvesting
technology to go off the grid.
