If I can offer some advice on the burnout aspect of it. Most of the quasi-independent media we look to for information is a double edged sword at best. Most of it has devolved into lying little less than what you’d expect from CNN or MSLSD. At a subconscious level you know they do not have our best interests in mind either, and it’s just outrage INC, LLC to keep you just hot enough to stay engaged. None of these alt media people will ever stand with you if you ever have to do the deed, as it’s all about self enrichment and their brand, and not the cause. You saw how they tap danced and had every excuse in the book for why this administration refused to do anything about holding anyone accountable for Epstein. InfoWars chief among them! This is a huge contributor to the burnout, probably the largest fuel for it.
With that in mind, shut them off. Seriously. Shut them off. Focus on local issues. Look, the GOP nationally is a zombie. It’s dead. It’s a uniparty. MTG herself said straight up, there is no 5D chess nor is there some grand plan to save the country. It’s the looting of the treasury at this point, got it? We are well down the path that the Soviet Union was in 1989.
Shut off most of your alt media, and mute the every living fuck out of every Israel first and MAGA “influencer” on twitter. If they are a paid shill, mute them and block them. Remove them from your time.
If you have time to listen to InfoWars and doomscroll Poso and Draino’s bullshit, then you have better things you can do with your time – like be pleasant around your family and try to uplift people in your direct sphere of influence. It goes without saying that no one here is consuming liberal propaganda and taking it seriously, I would hope so anyway.
There are no brakes on this train, and there is no fucking engineer guiding it either. It’s off the rails and over the cliff. The most hellish of what we are going to face is going to be implemented, that being social credit scores and CBDCs. The mark. We are very much headlong into it. At just under 40 trillion, the reset is going to be a hard reset.. or more like a Great Reset.
The most realistic prepper scenarios IMO… guerilla actions on one hand, and mitigating a lack of resources on the other. As the economic situation further devolves in the direction of contraction, consolidation, and vertical integration, things will either be unavailable or unaffordable or both.
As an example, points of action where you can make friends and have an impact… those data centers going up in your localities. The water hogging, power consuming monstrosities that produce nothing yet demand all of our resources and corporate socialist subsidies – because socialism is good for them, they tell you this daily btw. You can fight them. You can make allies. Network. You know, talk to people and not have twitter glued to your face 24 hours a day. Don’t you think it’s a perfect training op? You can do everything from map reading to recon to area studies. Gives you an excuse to purchase a Maltego license instead of your 12th M4 that will do what 10 of the other 11 do, which is nothing. When you have a purpose and know it’s accomplishing something… you lose the burnout. There is no burnout when there is fulfillment.
100% and then some. Always on target Brother.
