A huge part of autonomy is knowing how to stay healthy. I'm seeing a vast gulf in health between people who think that health is something that doctors do, and people who know that much of it is up to the individual.
Nice essay. You are spot on with homeschooling. That is what we are doing. The children were always on the front line, it is long past time we take them out of the trenches by getting them out of the public school system. Build the fortress in their minds, grow the numbers. Perhaps in the future we can achieve critical mass
Some good thoughts, and I try to do many of these things. Sadly most of my coworkers are besotted by the convenience, and younger people don't know any other way of doing things-don't know how to cook a simple meal, sew a button, basic tasks.
Agree that the Republicans aren't solution. 86 of them just voted to extend the FISA spying on citizens, without a proposed amendment that would require a warrant.
One thing that I do that also makes me feel a little independent of the globalists is that I ride a bicycle for transportation. I kind of hinted at this to some folks a couple weeks ago-I rode a bicycle to the bike night at a local moto cafe. Some of the people there thought it was funny that I rode a foot powered bicycle. I do love motorcycling, and driving, but it's nice to have a method of transportation that is available if for some reason the power grid collapses, or gasoline prices soar into the stratosphere. Not to mention the benefit of exercise.
Great thoughts. We are amassing skills and sustainable practices while avoiding the ‘convenience’ of ‘smart’ technology. I feel good about having more control over my existence and we seek out others in our local environment that have the same goals.
You are 100% right, people need to come to the realization that they are not voting their way out of what is happening.
Focus on the reality of the situation. Stop the endless doom scrolling and voluntarily surrendering every aspect of your personal lives on social media. Turn off the tv, Netflix propaganda. The stress of it mentally is exhausting and unproductive. Turn off all of the life management devices in your home. Leave the cell phone alone. Ditch the Amazon convenience store and get out and support local businesses and vendors, before they are gone. Grow some food, grow your community connections. When you have a clear mind, focus comes easy
"Articles that delve into the grim realities of our predicament often garner far more attention than those offering practical strategies for resistance." I've noticed that, too. Let's face it, more clicks equals more revenue., who doesn't want to make more money?
"Disturbingly, within the liberty movement itself, there is a tendency to focus more on discussing the problems we face than on proposing concrete solutions. Articles that delve into the grim realities of our predicament often garner far more attention than those offering practical strategies for resistance." That has certainly been my experience. However, there is now an actual legal solution for the citizens to fix this issue that is practical, nonpartisan, and solves the root cause of control by the political parties and those who control them by changing two government processes to create the first realistic, scalable, direct democracy. Parts of it have been used around the world with great success in eliminating political division and producing better results.

Good, simple common sense recommendations.
