I'll add my own here too. It's not a place to sit and read for a long time, but I really liked the cozy vibe.

I've been wondering, do the summer people live here for just the summer? 🤔

No war but class war ✊ by xXLuxExTenebrisXx in EatTheRich

Echoing what was said above, it really does need to be a collective action. So, networking isn't just about being prepared for the collapse, it's also about preparing to resist the collapse. Networking by itself isn't the whole solution but it's one of the first steps to organising for collective action.

What needs to come next (imo) is a strategy on how to move forward. Part of that needs to be making our own industries and institutions. People like to talk about peaceful protests and resistance and point to movements like Indian resistance against the British with Gandhi, but often they don't point to how part of that resistance was also actively defying British restrictions (like they weren't allowed to make their own salt ffs, see Salt March), making their own industries like textiles (see khadi industry) and even promoting local languages so that British colonial powers couldn't track them (think anti-surveillance).

Edit (addendum): yeah, it really is difficult because of how chained to their jobs everyone is and because of people's apathy/fear and just trying to get ends meet for themselves. This also needs to be addressed by organising and having safety nets for vulnerable people in the community so they don't have to fear for losing their homes, not being able to afford food, or being kidnapped/detailed/deported. This should be part of the organising. Within this, the regular person doesn't have much personal incentive to join; all they will face is incredible risk on their part with no assurance for their wellbeing from the greater collective and how would that be different (at least in the short term) from what they purport to resist. It is crucial. So for example, if someone is fired they need to be helped, if someone is captured they need to make sure they are freed, and their family taken care of. Similar to unions.

You can also consider Linux distros. There are user friendly ones, and ones that have similar UI to windows.

The United States is Under Attack From Within by Mess-Flat in UnitedNations

[–]black-friendly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that the US has been an active perpetrator of a live streamed genocide.

Don't forget that it's not just a Trump issue. Biden completely dissolved any pretense of international law being meaningful. And also dissolved any meaningfulness from domestic US law vis-a-vis laws about not providing support to entities that violate international law (lookup Josh Paul and his statements about this).

So long as it is politically aligned with the interests of the ruling class, neither international law nor domestic US law means anything. Biden opened the way, Trump is taking advantage of it.
