it's crazy that both the dissident right expects collapse in the form of war and the environmental left expects collapse in the form of climate catastrophe yet literally neither are preparing for those eventualities in any significant way. curious

When uninformed people, normies, civvies, larpers, when they start going "give me some of that Fallujah please, and make it EXTRA fucked up, I don't want any baby shit here buddy!!!" you are basically locked into extremely dangerous escalation. And that's where the US is at.

move out of cities start prepping start food production build neighborhood coalitions, maybe militias, maybe mutual aid societies get involved in local politics, know the police and fire personnel find ways to increase local manufacturing building up networks of local food distr.

this is a great example of my biggest issue with the idea of revealed preference or revealed belief: this is a good list of things people should be doing, but it assumes that your average concerned person has any practical clue how to begin doing anything beyond being concerned

this is my biggest hurdle as a communicator/educator. How do I get them from concern -> x -> preparation? What is x?

it has to be communal somehow i think. very few people are going to be capable of prepping if they're the only person in their social circles doing it, it'll just feel too weird. need ways to gather like-minded people together, get them talking, sharing ideas and resources

hmm yeah this is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe like an organized event: vibe camp but for resilience to chaos

invite a couple speakers, maybe people willing to do hands-on workshops of some kind... oh hmm: maybe it could be hosted on a farm or something and you tour the place and maybe people take turns helping out a bit? get their hands dirty

100% we've already been talking behind the scenes about something like this

i would personally be pretty jazzed for something like this! it's a little unfortunate that the amount of money that would have to be spent on plane tickets goes a little against the spirit of the thing... but you gotta start somewhere i guess 😛

in the medium term it'd be nice to have a bunch of local events that people don't have to travel far to get to. that would be better for building local relationships with farmers and other interested locals anyway i guess?

yeah we are already doing DO camps, but those are more meetups of the already convinced. But I imagine it'd be possible to do bioregional workshops no problem?

Replying to

depends on where it's done and who's doing it. e.g. doomcamp east coast would have plenty of potential attendees who wouldn't need to fly. doomcamp cambridge can be accessed by rail from pretty much anywhere in britain (and even from europe).
