Consolidate, Outreach, and Prepare
6 months ago
The tides of history are truly shifting not just where I live but everywhere. My best advice to you dear reader is to consolidate with those you consider kin. Choose a place where local laws and support lean towards you and how you wish to live and do your best to convince everyone you love to move to that area. That's step one, the more of us together watching one another's backs the safer you and those you love will be.
After that? Outreach. Get involved with local fundraisers and town halls. Do some potlucks. Go to church or start a religious outing. Volenteer. Get to know your neighbors. Extend outwards and show your true self and your love for the world to all. Some will be skittish or resistant but most will have never met anyone like you. Listen to them first and then, offer to simply let them ask you questions. Answer truthfully, kindly, and with grace. Focus on how we are similar rather than different. On how at the end of the day we all just want to live our authentic lives and enable others to do the same.
Whilst doing this continue that importation of those you care about to this safe zone. Try to get spare rooms ready incase a friend of a friend needs it. Talk with local landlords and find the good ones, they exist rare as they are. Same with business owners. This will be easier if you've been volunteering and doing outreach.
I must highlight the importance of ideological IMPURITY here. Too often have leftist movements failed because someone has a take slightly off of what we agree with or because their stance is too extreme or not extreme enough. The time for these debates are when we have power and we have the least amount of power now than most of us ever have had in living memory. Push past the differences. Find common ground. Listen intently and answer kindly. Every soul with you and enriching your budding community makes it one hundred times stronger.
Preperarion. Learn useful skills. Practice the once you have. Position yourselves to enter local power structures such as Home owner associations, parent teacher orgs, local government, even local law enforcement. Work hard and get promoted whilst making friends at work. Prep to organize, from unions to neighborhood watches to community gardens and events. Buy property. Work the land. Secure sources of clean water and food. Start a business. Continue to learn and hone your skills. The goal isn't for you to become self sufficient, but instead to become a pillar of the community. So that an attack on any member of your community is an attack on everyone.
After that? As hard as this truth may be I need you to internalize it. If you can, have children. Adopt or biological or just Volenteer to help kids. That's why we prepare and why we are willing to fight. Not just for ourselves or our loved ones but so that the next generation can have a better shot than we ever could have dreamed of. The trolly problem is a false premise. The sad truth is there are times where we must collectively be willing to stop that trolly so those on the tracks of the future can have that future. But we must also ensure someone can untie them once that trolly of tyranny is stopped. That's why you're building a community, that's why you're building skills, it's so some people can untie those trapped and offer them a way forward.
Our greatest power is empathy. Our greatest foe is fear and indifference. I know this is asking a lot. I know this is asking for something completely different than most of us hear. But it is the way forward, not just through this dark time we find ourselves in but beyond.
We don't just need to survive, we need to fight for and ensure the future.
