Without a doubt. Personally, I still have a lot of hope. But we can't just sit around and think that a new politician is going to save us or "just wait until 2024 we're really going to get back to normal then". I don't think we are going to necessarily ever have anything close to the "old normal" in our lifetime. Or maybe ever. *But* we can create our *own* "new normal". And I think that actually looks more like the normal that our ancestors that settled America had. We'll have to work hard, be self-sufficient, have little or zero debt, stay in our families and communities, and we *will* have some liberty. I think there are going to be some amazing opportunities to form long-lasting and valuable relationships with like-minded people and a whole plethora of other "good things" in the future for those of us who want that. We wont be going back to the old normal... we will be going back to an even "older" normal. I'm dreading some of it of course, but super excited as well. I hope I'm right about my vision of the future for the liberty community more than anything. We *can* make this happen. It's just going to take some hard work. I'm up for the challenge. Thanks for being here Brian!
I hope we don't have to go back to a pioneer state of being. Not all countries will, and they will want our resources. It would be so easy to turn the US into a 19th century version of itself with the destruction of the electrical grids. Either by conventional armaments an EMP device or simply shut down via government edict. Would make the virus look like an extravagance as a method of population reduction.
I hope that values and principles can make a comeback and there can be alignment amongst the masses based on mutual benefit. Your efforts to help, as you say, "the liberty community" are welcome, needed and deeply appreciated. But to save civilization from itself a bigger, broader unity is needed. I thought we were getting that with Trump as president, but his ignorance or miscalculation of the enemy's vicious determination took him out at a critical point. Maybe we do need to start over at the literal grass roots level. I hope not as so many will perish and the globalists will achieve their goal in the end any way.
Hope the Canadian truckers resolve stays intact and their demands are met. It would be a start.
It's not going to be anywhere close to that easy. This will test us, big time. And all these messed up institutions and political/legal/financial things-- it'll take time to sort it all out. Years. But we can get started on the basics.
I have been trying to get people thinking since 1984, when I became an adult and saw how the IPDITs in government were outsourcing our entire economy overseas, mainly to communist China. The IPDITs thumbed their noses at the young men and women who died fighting the Chinese communists in Korea and Vietnam. What was those wars for, if communist China is now our sole supplier of pretty much everything, steel, electronics, drugs, food, clothing, furniture, silicone chips, batteries, the list is endless.
Try to find something NOT made in China. Almost impossible.
You are right about growing your own food if possible. I believe a lot of the ingredients in our grocery store foods are imported from China and "processed" here in the U.S. Who knows what the Chinese put in the food we import. The Chinese government is NOT the American people's best friend. The Chinese government is the best friend of the IPDITs in the American government.
We need to get back to self-sufficiency in America. Open the coal mines, open the steel mills. Breakup the foreign-owned agriculture conglomerates and allow Americans to own land and farm. The electrical grid needs to be American owned not foreign owned (like National Grid in the northeast).
I try to do my part by seeking out made in America products (unfortunately most are assembled with foreign parts, from China). I grow my own herbs, rhubarb, strawberries and I buy vegetable and fruits from local farmer's markets.
We need to be self sufficient or we will be slaves to the country/people that we rely on for everything.
I missed this comment long ago. Thank you for sharing that Napoleon! I live in a similar climate, but 4 generations of my family lived in this climate so I learned how to make things work. Water is definitely a concern here as well. And as far as a sewer... well, it wouldn't be the first time in my life I had to dig a hole. Thanks for being here!
There's videos with how to have a toilet that's completely non-flush, composting, not stinky... I saw this a long time ago, but search around, and maybe I can do that, too, and you'll find it.
Love this post!!
I'm a very, very weak gardener, and this inspires me to keep trying. Thanks, Rob!
Thanks, Rob D. Managing an impending apocalypse is not enjoyable but beats the alternative.

I'm of the same thinking. We can, and we WILL, prevail. LET'S DO IT!

Yep. I've looked into that. My uncle used one for years. I should probably get serious about building one. They sell some that are pretty cool too.
