people are talking about buying paper copies of The US Constitution and crank operated radios with solar panels. I'm just now realizing how docile I've been my whole life because I never thought the stuff I learned about in my history textbook would actually happen again. I thought the fight for civil and reproductive rights ended long before I was born.

I'm not physically fit. I'm not even fluent in my native tongue. I haven't doomsday prepped for a democratic collapse. I feel like I was living in the illusion of freedom all this time and I've finally woken up to the reality. lowkey having a crisis and I'm in shock. I can't believe this is the country I'm stuck in.

This is going to catch a lot of folks off guard. Start building a tribe of like-minded folks to support one another.

I feel this! Not necessarily because I wasnt expecting it (I wasn't expecting democracy collapse like this but I want to prep for other end of the world scenarios to ease my anxiety) alot of my problem is money and struggling with having fun or preparing for a future that might not happen

more energy into building something sustainable versus prepping for a collapse. the sense of urgency is going to depend who and where you are.

I’m 52 with MS and depression

If the worst comes to the worst

I’ll either volunteer for a one-way mission for the cause

or just get unalived in the street by the bad guys
