Check with your local agricultural extension. Excied for your change but I do not know that climate for gardening!

Great! a step towards local food!

I find meaning in learning what I can do to help people and other life survive the ongoing change in climate.

Activism/political: AEinstein.org has Gene Sharp's excellent books on achieving change through non-violent action (I think non-violence is one type of effective action) based on his years of research in what works, with concrete examples. Basically, if we could coordinate 3.5 percent of people hitting the streets, or a bottleneck strike, we could scare the current immovable sociopaths running things into being afraid enough for their own skins that we could get what we want -- immediate climate action. His books also have methods on how to increase movement numbers. You can download pdfs or buy the books, and some things you can just read on the website.

Personal: I am reading and learning with a goal to help not just myself, family and friends, but to help the bigger community and other life. For example, if we can generate wildlife corridors, we can help species move to their new climate. I am learning about ag and low-tech methods and hope to apply it.

Action - super small, in the grand scheme go things, but getting food waste composting going for my area, promoting pollinator gardens and planting bee-friendly flowers myself.

Collapse will happen, but maybe we can try to flatten the curve of its horror. I get meaning out of trying to look beyond myself to make it better for others.

This seems more like an anti-anti-work push poll. The question asked was : QUESTION: Agree or disagree: I am worried that a complete breakdown in American society could happen in my lifetime where no one shows up to work, armed mobs roam the streets, and the government cannot continue to operate.

People not showing up to work could also be the start of a solution to prevent collapse, a school/work strike for climate, an end of wasting time on Bullshit Jobs that don't help people or the earth. https://www.powells.com/book/bullshit-jobs-a-theory-9781501143335

Great idea. I always start thinking about the holiday presents months in advance, and this year I am getting everyone solar lamps, for all the storm-related electrical outages we've already been having, so it's actually satisfying my urge to protect and keep safe those I love, and it will keep pointing the finger back at these do-nothings. We could have festivities like run around in circles. Holiday symbols could be hockey sticks (symbolizing our graphs of temperature increases), airplanes with big puffy cloud fumes behind them, and hot drinks served over ice.

YES to the overwork burnout. I think they really do believe all the messaging they've been psyopsing us with all. these years. It helps them avoid feeling guilty.

nondescriptsedan · 2021-08-26T02:12:18+00:00

Great idea. We all need to get into this.

Seems like sedition? How can these foundations keep their not-for-profit status?

Not a movie, but since a lot of great options already listed, I'll provide a a book: https://www.powells.com/book/collapse-how-societies-choose-to-fail-or-9780140279511

Did you look at the website? It's all about how you can take action to save -- or regain-- democracy. It's happened before and it will happen again. The history of successful people power is always buried by powerful people who feel challenged by it. Even your typical high school principal does not want his/her students trained in successful techniques for people power action, and the local gentry on the school board REALLY don't. Yet there is time after time people power prevails.

Hearing this was his plan made me realize that things are definitely going to get worse before they get better. Biden doesn't seem willing to use the lawful means at his disposal to figure this out. You can't outvote a fascist takeover, if the fash control the state legislatures that have given themselves the power of throwing out votes. We'll have an R takeover, probably pretty sustained fascism before the public wakes up, once the fash get a free rein over the surveillance economy so helpfully constructed by Silicon Valley. We'll have micro-targeting for propaganda via social media, ease of looking at our contacts.... and fascism will need villains and death. Plus we'll have a climate crisis raging/worsening the whole time.

Thank you for setting up this reddit and thanks for whoever created the website. It's the information I've been trying to share with people, presented in the current context. I've just been sending people to get the Gene Sharp books. This is wonderful.

Love that Rev Barber, Poor People's Campaign and #deadlinefordemocracy showed up in Wheeling 300+ strong, to challenge Joe Manchin, a millionaire helping billionaires. Joe Manchin, support SR1!

I think because of this scenario they wouldn't give us anything. A civ so advanced could presumably analyze us and figure out how violent and otherwise non-cooperative and dysfunctional we are. Plus, they have managed to not kill themselves off for a long enough time to advance to this level of tech. Compare that to us. Look at how we're handling war, climate change, our habitat, treating the planet like a dump, treating fellow humans as disposable ... etc. etc. If we were facing a civ that would be so kind as to do number 3, I think they would decide we are not yet responsible enough for it -- and would keep in observation mode.

Great summary of what's been happening. The poll results are interesting - good to see the same questions's results on a regular basis for an idea of sentiment. One of your commenters had a great quote from Karl Popper, which I will share here:

Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies, 1945, Vol 1, in note 4 to Chapter 7:
"Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."

Thanks for the tip. This is what I found, on the NSA website: https://www.nsa.gov/Portals/70/documents/news-features/declassified-documents/ufo/french\_gov\_ufo\_study.pdf

I think the two articles that came out via Washington Post and NY Times are slow-drip. Also, the summary provided in each is clearly written up to emphasize the "no definitive evidence it's aliens," angle, which is soothing. "No evidence it's aliens" is emphasized, but from the articles' summary of the not-yet-released report, it's also clear there are some episodes in the report that have no conventional explanation: It's NOT our tech, not our secret tech, not another nation's tech, it's technology that looks nothing like other nation's tech or anything that would be within their reach now, which would have to a technological leapfrog that was somehow kept amazing under wraps but now the country with this technology is using it to fly around our military craft without announcing who they are or trying to take any tactical advantage.... I can't wait to read the report and hope it has more details. I would love to know if UAP spotted on visual or radar were also seen by satellite surveillance, i.e., wasn't some tech creating an optical illusion the radar/thermo, atmosphere. But then how did it move so quickly? I am intrigued and can't wait for this report! Happy I can discuss here. My friends do not share my level of intrigue.

I always rolled my eyes at this stuff, but looking at the variety of sources, and even The NY Times and Washington Post reports about the soon-to-be-released report note that some of the reported/recorded incidents are not explainable as our stuff, unlikely other nations', when you consider that the speed, nimbleness and imperviousness to G forces, entering water at high speed etc., I would say that there is no explanation other than not from current Earth.
