its exactly for this reason I've just abandoned most social media. The f*+king water is nearly boiling folks, but too many worry whether their tv screen is big enough.

A lot of us actually worry about paying rent and bills, affording groceries, and not being disappeared. We need robust networks of supply and support, cash reserves, food distribution, child care. Study previous guerilla tactics, adapt them to our environments, prepare. If one psycho just goes in guns blazing he's going to be leveled. We need to start ACTUALLY getting organized, designating roles, practicing those roles, and drilling. It seems to me like a lot of people think it's just going to be us fighting billionaires. They will very likely retain some portion of the military and paramilitaries will absolutely form quickly around those who can afford it. It's going to be literal war, against the US military. We are far from prepared.
