In my mind I almost think we need to go on a general strike and become homeless together. Homeless in a sense that we migrate to a location where we can get sensible people together in a location.

Then we can rebel against the for profit system by protecting each other with weapons, food, community.

Go back to a system that protects nature, people, and land.

But I’m curious what everyone else thinks. I know congregating in one location would make us vulnerable to domestic terrorism from our government. But in all honesty who wants to live in an oppressive regime anyway?

    I’m not in or from the US. In my country people didn’t rebel when camps were built, when people were disappeared, when they were sent to war. The world used to think that something was especially wrong with us. Turns out the average person in every country is just too poor, too exhausted, too distracted to oppose the fascists. We sit still and hope that we’re not next. If you introduce the hardships slowly enough people will not complain.

    My advice is ‘Rot the system from the inside’. Be extra slow, be really inefficient. Be obtuse. Have your work gear break often. Make small mistakes. Be stubborn. Appear stupid. And if you want to gather and organize: Don’t gather in one location, gather in many locations, but gather. Don’t meet with the purpose of politics, but start with mutual aid, neighborhood support, hobbies, … Maybe don’t call your organization anything like “Anarchist Antifa Violent Liberation Front” but go for “Neighborhood Support Club” and remain accessible to all who are not total arseholes. Now it’s about getting shit done - anything on the scale of growing vegetables to Luigi that isn’t writing yet another manifesto. Be kind to another.
