    Indeed, once faith in the system is eroded to the degree it has in you (and in me) we must all next figure out “what is to be done?”

    The answer i have come up with so far is to read. I have been… exceptionally surprised to learn firsthand that the problems we face aren’t new, and that smarter folks than me have put in a lot more thought than me.

    I think the other bridge (learned from what little i have read) before actual revolution is community building, by that i mean doing anything and everything you can think of to replace the systems that have failed with the people who it have failed.

    Because the way we’re getting squeezed with no sign of slowing it is going to become less of a fantasy and more a necessity and how much we are hurt by its violence will have a lot to do with how much we are prepared.
