    We can’t do anything about it, we are literally under the rule of a system that is predicated on exacerbating the problem in perpetuity. And peopl are so thoroughly gaslighted that they are cognitively incapable of picturing an alternative. As if that wasn’t enough, it promotes and rewards those who champion the destruction, and severely punishes and demonizes those who don’t.

    The only way out of this is coordinated violent global uprising. I’m in, if you are too let’s get planning.

        Some violence will be inevitable; but the real power will be when masses of us pull out of the system. Quit your job or work less. Don’t make money, dont spend money, buy only what you need second hand or local. Grow your own food, make your own clothes. Don’t pay taxes or pay for local permits if you can get away with it. You can help starve the beast so that others might slay it.

      History suggests it’s easier to catalyse an uprising than handle the reaction and govern well thereafter - need to think through the whole story.
