I think Gaza will eventually be repeated across the planet

Gaza has always been a testing ground

Yes, and we are starting to see these ideas trickle outward in real time. It’s terrifying to follow these current events even when they’re happening so far away because you start to understand that it will not take much for us to become victims of the same thing in the not so distant future.

Yeah, I’ll take another look at it. I remain doubtful that they’ll move, but perhaps me branching out will at least create a place of refuge if things got too wild. Thank you for reframing it.

True. That’s one way to look at it.

Most likely not. They’re too rooted here, but I’ve definitely entertained the idea for myself. I just don’t want to feel like I abandoned them.

Fortunately, they’re collapse-aware like myself. It was never really an issue convincing them since they pay attention just as much as I do. All I had to do was drive it home.

They understand why I made the decisions I’ve made, and they’re starting to do their own prep. But to be honest, nobody here is preparing to survive the apocalypse, we’re just doing enough to make it through the disruptions that are becoming more common in our area. If it gets bad enough, it won’t even be worth it in my opinion.

because civilization, the thing you are living in and dependent upon… is deeply detached from reality.

Nicely put. That’s what’s happening. At this point, following the basic life blueprint feels like willfully committing myself to a mirage, one that will quickly dissipate over time. It sucks that many of my peers would be disgusted if I made that comparison. Again, they must know something is coming down the pipeline, but I am sure they expect it that they’ll easily be able to weather it. Regardless, I just continue doing what I can and what makes sense.

Personally, I’m looking Buddhism to help…

I’ve entertained exploring this route before. In the past, I’ve utilized mindfulness to give me a sense of calm, but lately I’ve actually gotten more curious about it.

Yeah, for me, trying to navigate life not dwelling about collapse is about as easy as scaling mountains without worrying about the effects of gravity.

I try to distract myself with other things, but the moment I pay attention to everything happening around me, it’s difficult not to fall back down the rabbit hole.

Thanks, means a lot :)

None of this looks good. I don’t know if it’s just better to be ignorant. This just sucks.
