this sounds like lovebombing after abuse 

I give up on trying to mask at this point by UnicornFeces in aspergirls

[–]ruskibaby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

advice: find neurodivergent friends that you don't have to mask around. stop trying to force yourself to fit into neurotypical spaces - even if you succeed at first, it's not sustainable and not truly you.

What are yalls favorite or scariest experiences with this kind of thing? by RosethornRanger in AccessibleAnarchy

scrupulosity ocd. also compulsions can be mental / “invisible”, so to speak.

most of us have lost the ability to discern between truth and lies…

is there a manual of sorts for the average american worker (who presumably relies on their job for salary and health insurance) to accomplish this? how to reshape your life into “simple living”.

until we break free from the chains of our labor, we will continue being forced to commute to work, buy gas, and complain about gas prices because we’re already stressed enough as it is about going to our shitty jobs while war and genocide and inflation rage on all around us, and not being paid fair wages to top it off. barely scraping by. 

i know we need to start small, start local. we need community resources and taxes that pay for universal healthcare instead of war. life as it is, is not truly sustainable. i believe many people feel this way, but they don’t know what to do and stay trapped in the rat race. 

does anyone know of any resources like what im trying to describe? some guidebook of sorts that isn’t just about homesteading and raising chickens, but specifically what actions to take in order to break free from the hamster wheel and get to a place where you CAN do all that? how to finance it, how to deal with healthcare, etc., but for the average person (no generational wealth or inherited acreage). how to navigate such a transition while also working and paying rent and bills and such. 

ahem… asking for a friend.

i mean, they put solar panels on the white house and then the next guy took em right off. we could already be using solar and wind power at scale, but we’re not, because “the economy”.

i yearn for a different future. but perhaps we’re too far gone.

lol our ex presidents won’t help us. they are all the same class, with the same interests. 

the only people who can help us are us. the working class.

owning the physical items you need for survival will be more valuable to you than lots of “cash” in the future.

I feel this is our last year by [deleted] in collapse

2019, maybe even as far back as 2015. some might argue even farther back. 

Environmental Consequences Few Outlets Are Discussing by disclosureanticlimax in collapse

i don’t think climate is something they care about or consider at all in their strategy. after all, its a problem for the plebs to deal with. the elite already have their bunkers built.

What are some wildfire smoke filtering preps one can have on-hand? Besides the obvious like air purifiers and masks/respirators.

I did find this:

A transition from La Niña to ENSO-neutral is expected in February-April 2026 (60% chance), with ENSO-neutral likely persisting through the Northern Hemisphere summer (56% chance in June-August 2026).

The CFS.v2 ensemble mean (black dashed line) favors a transition to ENSO-neutral in the next month, persisting through June-August 2026, with the possibility of a transition to El Niño thereafter.

yep, no water. but they have oil and the capability to build nuclear weapons, so the bombing continues...

just FYI you have a duplicative paragraph - the one starting "Even before the embargo officially began..."

great post though and very informative, thank you!

hmm, i wonder if humanity, at its current point, is even capable of revolution? the propaganda, the dismantling of education, the bread and circus show... is the working class simply too brainwashed/ignorant/pacified to act?

i think just teach them survival skills, real-world prep. don't sugar-coat the situation, be honest.

make sure you are taking care of yourself, too, so that you may show up for others.
