How bad do we let things get? Should we wait until the planet can’t sustain life anymore? Should we wait until it’s 100 degrees F in the Artic? Until wildfires blanket entire continents or the last glacier is gone? Should we wait until fascist billionaires take even more from us? Until there are Flock cameras at every mail box? Maybe we should wait until the wells run dry or the tornadoes never stop. When is it going to be enough? I’m so tired of seeing things getting worse. Every. Single. Day. I’m ready. I’ve been ready. How about you?

How do we coordinate? How do we look after each other? What is the signal? If we don’t work together then we are just continuing our slow march to destruction to the drum of the parasitic billionaires. Please, for us, for the cats, the dogs, the birds and trees. The fish and the whales, the beatles and the centipedes. Please tell me it’s worth it to you, that you’re willing to get uncomfortable, that you’re willing to fight. There are more of us than them, and we are rapidly running out of time to make that mean something.

    Food and energy will start the entropy. No power in the house, food spoils, Hungry/uncomfortable and can’t drive to work then people get mad.

    But now days everyone is fat and lazy on how many medications that you can’t take it to the streets. If they do you will have your banking turned off (see Canada) and you are basically useless at that point.

    Then part 2, how many of you have the means to actually get out there and chop it up? How much cash do you have on hand? Once the riots start their will be a run on the banks. ATMs will be shut off or empty. What happens when paper money is considered nothing? Do you have a plan “B”?

    Then the police/fire stop working, now its true chaos. Do you have the means to defend yourself and your loved ones? Do you have it in you to go that far? How much have you put aside for such an event?

    The short answer is I would guess 99 in 100 are not even remotely ready, capable, or have the spine to get to that point.

    Buy a gun with ammo, train on it, have 6 months of food onsite w/ water, get your HAM license or go rogue as it won’t matter. Hunt, forage, build a community of like minded people. Also have a couple grand in small bills onsite, use them until people figure out they are just paper then goto your PM’s/trade ammo/food as that will be the real currency.
