"do you hear the people sing" is not the vibe of revolution in modern times.
For us it is a message of kindness, that we might deliver us from the dark.
People singing are easy marks. Don't turn your phone on at night. Fucking turn
it off. Don't do barricades, don't do broken windows. We need the city in
working order. We are no longer protesting, we are seizing control. We will
guide us, trust in the reasonable and heartfelt.

Keep in mind that this is sedition. Do you trust in democracy? Do you see how
it may be spoiled? We've elected our hitler, yet 40-50% of the nation does not
consent. America as we know it is about to change, and we need to protect the
pieces we love. I see no future without splitting into three separate states,
with city-state allies plodding along, keeping the siege ongoing.
Trust in convoys more than farms. All it takes is a drone with a fire bomb and
your crops are worthless. We must deprive them of their ports, if possible.

I live in the Pacific Northwest.
Tactically, nothing has changed - we must still work to secure food, housing,
employment, HRT, and all the other materials necessary for life.
Strategically, we're suddenly in a whole new game.
In the Pacific Northwest, the first goal should be to unite Portland and
Seattle. Right between them lies the capital of the Proud Boys in a town called
Battleground. How fitting.
To the south, below Portland, there is Salem. Salem is red, but cities trend
blue, so there might be allies there.
Below Salem is Eugene. Eugene is blue. Salem must be secured.
Part one: control battleground
part two: control Salem
Part Three, and the ultimate goal of phase one: deprive the far right of a
pacific port
strategically, preventing them from utilizing the pacific ocean will be SO much
more productive than anything else we could be doing in this area.

I need an editor. Someone who can re-arrange what I say and present it to an
audience. The pen is mightier than the sword, and while my pen is mighty, you
still need swords.
I believe in democracy. I believe in the will of the people and the respect of
the land. I believe in life, light, and liberty for all.
Our nation has just elected, fairly, a dictator who will sell our country to
foreign authoritarians just because he is small. I am stronger by far, but I
lack his experience, and so I must rely on trusted advisors who grow with me.
I am perhaps not the best choice, but I do believe I am one of the bravest.
Judge me as you will.
Trump will destroy the American experiment and invite fascism into our home. We
have people to nurture and protect, and authoritarianism prevents us from doing
so.
He would deprive us of our light, and frankly he already has.
He would deprive us of our liberty, and his plans to do so are clear and
apparent.
He would deprive us of our lives, and history has shown that this is a
precedent.
I do not consent to a Trump presidency. I do not consent to his corruption any
longer. No more will I or my people be governed by such evil. We will fight
back, of this I am certain.
My demands are threefold.
First, I demand that Trump be replaced by a moderate republican. Hold a primary
and let Democrats vote. If none of your candidates work for us, pick a new
roster and try again.
The second is that Trump must be executed for treasonous high crimes. Nothing
less than execution will suffice.
Next, let the supreme court be purged and replaced. Half with democrats, half
republicans, and one moderate who is widely regarded with respect.
Failing these demands, I am willing to wage a terrible civil war for the soul
of our country. I know this is treason, but I do it anyway even though I am a
patriot. I do it because our land has been stolen by a man and his followers
who seek to plunge my people into despair.
He is but one man. So am I.
He has an army of followers. I do not.
Each of the wars we fight will be smaller than the last, as each of our cities
struggles toward our last gasp.
But together we are strong, and by connecting them we might deliver ourselves
from harm.
Against the far right, we must secure a cleansing blow. There is no greater
fight. The world is watching.
To that end, I suggest a great and perilous fight. I see no other option in
this remarkable century. Prepare as you might, I suggest pushups and resource
acquisition.
Deliver your resources somewhere safe if you're in a red area, and meet your
neighbors if you're not.
A blue city in a red state must survive a siege. Prepare yourself for this.
Assume that supplies will need to be delivered by convoy if by land, and drone
airdrop from the skies. Develop ways to protect these supply methods.
Public spaces are our homes now, our houses are just where we sleep.
I swear this to you: on my life I will be honorable and fair. I will seek true
justice when I can, where everyone gets what they want, and failing that I will
be plainly just. I will respect all peoples, and do my best to fight for a
brighter tomorrow.
I dare for the bright age. I see nothing else that I'd like to spend my life
doing than daring.

The bigger a county is on the electoral map, the weaker it is. But, the more
space required to control it completely. Treat the largest counties like

you're a bright shining target. Very little food, very few supplies, often not

"Fighting back" doesn't necessarily mean standing on a street corner with a

Begin to orient your life around guns. How can you support the people who wield
them? We all need food, shelter, kindness, and inspiration.
Your fears and your worries shall bother you no longer, for your life as you've

Give them better rules however, and they will be a crucial ally. See these two

resistance would involve protests.
Don't protest now. March. Be in many places at once. Have eyes beyond your core.

Their numbers are not that much larger. We have many advantages they do not

Fight back with your fists if you must, but do try and fight back with your

We are all in this together, each child woman and man. We live on a planet

Our fates are calling. We will get stronger. We will overcome.

I do not fear as you do. The center will stand by the side, but as time goes on
more and more of them will fight. And most will fight for what they know, what
they were once told is their home. They will fight for the constitution, or for

... Maps, my dear, those are important fuel.
But also food is important. Why haven't you gotten groceries for weeks?
It's also important to clean yourself. Doesn't your apartment still have fleas?
Your cat demands your attention. Give it to her.
Wear masks when in public, to ward off disease. When you are speaking remove
it, so others can see your totality.
There are some who belong here who aren't so kind. Remember that your neighbor
is republican, their neighbor is democrat, their neighbor is republican, their
neighbor is democrat. It's going to get messy, but here in our cities there are
plenty of us. We can defeat them, so long as we are armed.
Practice reloading. Practice aiming. These things can be done in secrecy. The
noise and the recoil are enough to set your nerves ablaze, but ride that high
and trust in your adrenaline. Have your foes surrounded on at least three sides
before you engage. These are words for a different day, but keep them in mind.
Internalize them.

They may return to us if they choose, when they realize that we were right all
along.
Otherwise, they might feel disenfranchised and choose to disengage. That is
expected and allowed.
Others amongst them might go right. Fuck 'em, they always cared for gold over
lives.
You are right, their methods have not worked. They have sustained our society
up to this point and for that I thank them - but we are entering a new age for
our country, and we shall build it as a federation.
They are more than welcome to observe and offer insight from their years spent
observing and wrestling with Republicans, but understand that much of their
insight is dealing with their elite class of politicians and not with who you
and I might come across on the street.
They are encouraged to learn from us. To do otherwise is at best to neglect our
only route to a bright future - at worst it is to obstruct us, to delay us, to
keep us running in circles.
Find the people who are sabotaging our efforts and move on

On the plains, it's easier to pass through a large country than a small one. In
forested or mountainous areas, the opposite is true - they are large, wild, and
untamed, and thus difficult to get through.

I refuse to consent to genocide. Find your bravery. Fight back. You personally
might never get a chance again.
Being queer is a culture. In the future you describe where we are wiped out and
forced to regrow our lives, nothing will remain of us.
That is not a future I foresee, not here in this century.

they are not MAGA anymore. Don't call them Trumpers. He won't last long.
Call them what they are. They are part of a newly born Confederacy, and we must
call them by their name. That name demands respect, and we must respect their
power.
Then, when you're sufficiently cautious, begin conjuring visions of their
downfall. Ideally accompanied by carefully laid plans intended to accomplish
specific strategic goals.
They are top-heavy. Once their bravest and thickest perish they will have
nothing left but their weak fools. They are scared, nothing unites them more
than fear, and for that they are weakened.
Our bonds are those of love. I would die for my neighbor. I would die for our
world. They have no passion, no rigor, all they have is hate and vigor.
Martial skills we can learn. We will have to, sooner rather than later. Be
prepared, work hard, and do what you're good at, ideally what you'd like to do.

expand national parks
build carbon scrapers out of moss, wood, and automated water misters
use heat pumps, rocket mass heaters, and subsurface airflow cooling in new
constructions. Try to convert older buildings when possible.
maintain trading routes to China and other places that produce solar panels.
cut down on plastic waste by switching to glass and metal containers for food.
Develop infrastructure to clean and sanitize cans and bottles at grocery
stores, and refill food containers to be resold there.
Remember that plastic is a wonder material that can do so many things. We can
use it, but keep it in check.
I think electric vehicles are a mid-term goal. For now, gasoline is more
flexible, unfortunately. In the near future that reality will change, so look
toward tomorrow and rejoice.
Our infrastructure is car based. We cannot change that in the near term.
Above all else, keep our national parks pristine. They are our heritage to our
children, and they are temples to our nature.

I like Void Linux because it's simple, clean, and gets out of your way. It was
my first Linux distribution and I think it's excellent for a beginner.
I use Gentoo because my old best friend installed it on a thinkpad she gifted
me. Then I kept it because I liked the idea of compiling all my software
locally and being as flexible as possible.
I installed NixOS on my newest laptop because I thought it'd be nice to have a
system that was dependable. NixOS has all the system configuration done in a
single file, so if you save that file you can rebuild your system on any other
system with minimal effort (at least, that's the idea - I haven't tested it yet)

we talked about hormones and bathrooms and politics and all the normal shit
these meetups tend to do. I don't tend to go to them because it's the same
stuff every time, and I'm over that. I've been out for a decade. I've shared
what I need to share.
Partway through I said "If you want to talk about how to bash back, meet me
outside."
people came.
Be like me.
You will forever vanquish your demons if you face them in earnest. I had
stagefright and adrenaline but I took the lead, and we had a productive
conversation. We need to have many more conversations.
We have strategy. It is not set in stone, it is flexible, and able to be
adjusted based on tactical successes and failures.
tactics are what we need to discuss at in-person meetings.
You are just one person. The people you know are more valuable than the value
you personally provide.
