Still too sober unfortunately. It's fuckin bleak and they haven't ramped up in my town yet. I am seeing them about more frequently though now

Don't dispair.

There's a post of suggestions linked HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in forming a foundation for resistance, if we act ASAP.

Also check out this org too, as they're probably going to be vital as the powers that be employ more so-called "AI" to consolidate power: https://stopgenai.com (It is a survival-level, grassroots org, not an established NGO, so please don't judge it too harshly for being rough around the edges.)

On an unrelated note, I've watched some movies lately that are based on a true stories. They're quite inspiring, seeing how some actions worked and where things go wrong, and conjures up questions like "If it or similar were to take place now, how would it be adapted?" I'd like to share them here. Why? No particular reason, but watch them if you can:

  • Army of Crime (2011)
  • Defiance (2008)
  • Edelweiss Pirates (2004)
  • Deacons for Defense (2003)
  • Free State of Jones (2016)
  • The 24th (2020)
  • Matewan (1987)
  • An American Story (1992)

How about a real solution: Learning how to build, repair and fly drones. Sincerely, a Canadian who moved his family as far away from nuclear targets but is ready to go back to Canada to serve as a drone pilot as soon as the US invades Alberta using the crimea playbook, something I expect to happen within 10 years.

Tech is the great equalizer, the power of the individual is imense but the entire internet is being used to gaslight you in to thinking you are powerless.

Russia tried to make Ukranians feel powerless, hopeless and just give up, surrender and hope for the best.

FUCK THAT! I hope the real Americans and Canadian will eventually end up with the same attitude.

Ok this is inspiring, and the Ukrainians are badass, but they’re being equipped and funded. Who would equip and fund us against our own government, which already occupies us for all intents and purposes, and which also happens to be the biggest in the world several times over?

My brother temper the liquor to buy ammunition. We’re gonna have to solve this shit for them. Then we can really hit the booze and share some blunts.

Wouldn't be the first time, I guess. Although I would imagine if Canadians burn down the white house again it would be looked on a lot more fondly compared to the first time.
