Branding/Collapse

"...the Democrats are in trouble because they branded themselves as progressives, but the system is too ossified to make any progressive reforms. Meanwhile the Republicans have branded themselves as the party of anger, so now they are getting votes even from angry liberals.

Of course, whatever the branding, the job of both parties is to throw scraps to the people while protecting the giant pool of money that wants to keep growing by lending money that nobody can pay. The people are stronger than the giant pool of money, in that money only exists if we believe in it. But it's stronger than us in that our whole way of life depends on it. But that way of life is already falling apart." -RanPrieur.com

"What You Can Do to Survive"

JAN.9TH Entry - http://www.ranprieur.com/

"Find a landbase and build the topsoil; plant fruit trees and vegetable gardens; learn to forage and hunt and repair stuff; learn uncommon useful skills; make local friends; work to make your city and region more sustainable and resilient; make friends in other regions in case you have to move; gradually shift more of your activities and dependencies out of the money economy; break your addictions; get healthy; spend your money on tools and skills and long-keeping food; meditate; exercise your intuition. This is not meant to be a complete list, but a list of examples of the
kind of thing you should be doing. The title of my talk was "Weeds through Pavement", because when pavement turns to forest, the pavement does not turn green and put down roots -- plants crack the pavement and grow through it. So do that." - Ran Prieur
