As I previously mentioned, I really can’t afford to move again. Where I am and what I got is all I got.
I’m not in any immediate danger yet but I see the signs. While I like most of the people in my area, I haven’t done as much as I should have to get to know them. That was a mistake, and one that could prove dangerous, or worse, in days ahead.
I ran a small offline org back in CA for a few years. It could almost count the members on only two hands, but it was meaningful and made a difference for hungry homeless people.
Instead of trying to post through things and/or reporting the daily inevitable count of bazinga billionaires tearing copper out of the walls, salting the earth, and ordering the construction of temples to themselves with the wreckage (and corpses) piled up beneath them, I feel no further desire to do that now.
The desire to mock the monsters is no longer there for me. Planning locally for how to survive the imminent accelerating decay of the imperial core is taking up my thoughts.
I had the luxury of time and even leisure for a while after my move across the country, and yes I enjoyed posting up a storm while I could. But right now… I think there’s so much I can do to prepare myself and protect those around me. I fully intend to give refuge to those in need once it is safe to to so.
For my family, for old friends and new friends to come, I think this is for the best.
godspeed, good luck and rip jimmy carter? excited to find out!
