    The problem with wanting change without collapse is you have to figure out a way to live next to the millions and millions of people who didn’t want the change or believed they didn’t want it and will never change that belief.

    The sad truth is for the kind of meaningful change any of us actually want, it would take enough collective trauma that it displaces the collective feelings of comfort and protection that allow people to have set-in beliefs at all.

    This isn’t saying I want widespread disaster at all, nobody deserves the suffering of disease, displacement and starvation. Unfortunately it’s coming anyway, worse yet, it will only impact the people least deserving of this coming misery.

      I‘d say that @Zombiepirate@lemmy.worlds assessment is still the correct approach. If the system collapses anyways, the best thing to do is build local infrastructure through solidarity — which is best anarchist practice.

      In scandinavia anarchist groups started „preppa tilsammen“ (prepping together). It is not about hoarding guns, but community disaster relief.
