So, there is no one that's going to stop this regime? Nobody knows right from wrong, constitutional from fascist, good from evil anymore? This does not bode well.

there will be no saviors. Anyone who has any ability to move the needle at all is happy to not stick their head up because they are too worried about their money/power. unbridled Monopolistic capitalism has won in America. If you don’t like it get the fuck out, it's only gonna get a lot worse.

Connect with your community, make stable social relations and find like minded people to support each other. Forget that prepper lone wolf shit, the ones who survive are the ones who cooperate.

Like ... real life social connections? I'm on your Matrix channel, you can't fool anyone

Very much true. Don't just go Lone Wolf. Find a local leftist militia. Train together. Prep together.

I've been collecting since November. I have enough provisions at this point for the next five years.

all I lack is solar to power my home. I have solar to run small electronics like laptops, radio, lights, etc.

IMO, it's going to have to get much worse before it snaps, and when it snaps and there's an Arab Spring moment, it's going to be too late to recover any of it.

The world power era of the USA is over. The 'dangerous rogue nuclear state' era is here.
