Vote as triage, but lower your expectations on a "big strong man" solving broken systems. Life is short; voting takes time from other meaningful activities. Triage, if time allows, but do other meaningful activities.

Being cautious of the "big strong man" will help recognition of the slide toward any of the flavors of fascism. Populists promise "for the people" or "for the workers" and then centralize "power to" and "power over". The revolution results in the same broken systems with normal people with no power.

Regarding individual actions:

  • Build mutual aid with neighbors
  • Develop defence skills (firearms, explosives, hand-to-hand, drones, cardio, trapping, etc)
  • Learn real world skills (gardening, mechanics, chopping wood, carpentry, ect)

No gods, no masters. All power to all people.
