What would I have you do? Mutual aid my friend. Make sure friends, neighbours, and allies are safe, have food and shelter. Build community. I too would take your path. I’m closer to 60 than I like and won’t go looking for trouble anymore, but I will defend my wife and kids.

Community is your best defence against the rising authoritarianism and something that the fascists want to take from you. They want you alone and scared.

Find like minded people. It won’t be hard. Support them. The hard part that I have found, is letting them support me.
