Just thinking today based on the recent news of well, the past 6-months, that we’re headed in a pretty dire direction. We’re not even one year into Trump and things have already accelerated to the point we are at today. The only silver lining I see here is that the usa has fucked off from abusing the global south and China has stepped in to steer the non-fascism aligned world in a good direction. Great, but I have a sinking feeling for the rest of us poor stuck in this shithole.
I can’t afford a sidearm and I’m never gonna make it out of this shithole to South America in time. On a good note, I’ve carefully assembled a backpack-portable 1-man campsite with everything needed, but chances are I’ll lose that in the first week or it won’t matter much since I currently live in a city and have no realistic chance of moving to a more rural area with ample woods to hide in any time soon. And even in that scenario, I starve. I’ve been slowly working on my skill at growing vegetables for years but I’m nowhere near where I need to be to support my own caloric intake. At best I’m currently at the “can grow food to prevent shit like scurvy and beriberi” level.
You should get involved in a radical organization of some kind. None of us is going to make it on our own.
I’d love to, unfortunately I’m stuck in a catch-22 in that the place where I live keeps me in chronic sensory & social burnout.
meanwhile I tried to get my local friends to do literally anything at all, including just get together and talk over food about practical steps, several times since Trump got elected and the conclusion I came to is that they, like the vast majority of Americans, have one primary aim in life: namely, to not change anything they are doing by the width of a single atom, for any reason whatsoever. The most radical ones occasionally wish Bernie and AOC would team up and do something they could nod at from afar. It’s fucking bleak.
Yeah it’s rough out here 😕 keep your chin up comrade
