We are entering an era where relying on the existing economic system and/or being disconnected from each other won't be a viable strategy, for almost anyone.
But beginning to concretely vision a way through where we become more connected and self-sufficient on a community level helps, sometimes.

Disruption and rebellion doesn’t always have to look violent, either. But when the laws are unjust, the people upholding the laws are unjust, then breaking the rules becomes necessary. What’s that statement everyone keeps saying? Oh yeah - good trouble. Do that.
Today is another reminder why statements like this are such an issue. Please think deeply about "the law" and the people that are seeking to uphold it. And the people that will work with police to "enforce" the law.
The future belongs to the rule breakers. Disrupt. Rebel.
The future belongs to the rule breakers. Disrupt. Rebel.
This 50501 statement sucks so bad. They say they're "rooted in peaceful advocacy" & won't "endanger law enforcement"... they "expect" people to "act lawfully" & "disavow any disruption or violence" & work in accordance with the police
Stay away. These people will sell you out in a second.

Resistance which only operates within the bounds of the very system which it is purporting to resist is not genuine or effective resistance.
Neither The law nor voting stop fascism and the longer this country is unwilling to actually fight back the less likely it becomes that democracy is restored in America for generations

Not just his agenda. His statements indicate he sees empathy, caring for others, as being "civilizationally suicidal". He identifies empathy as an existential danger. That's some serious psychopath bullsh!t.
Musk views empathy as a “bug” that threatens his political agenda. This framing is instructive.

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it:

How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

The long game is a game of dream and vision.
We need to remember that we WILL survive us. There will be wounded to tend and dead to warn, but collectively we will survive.
And we need to imagine a future worth looking forward to.

The beast will eventually eat itself.
The more we can keep it from mauling the rest of us, the more we refuse to offer each other up as meals, the faster it will turn to its own flesh to feast.
That is the immediate game.

Something we all should remember, as we talk about worst case scenarios and ways to plan for and survive them:
It's very much worth remembering that we collectively can and will survive them.
And, we will build something beautiful on the ashes of their corrupt and childish violence.
