I’ve found that behind every local tree worshiping, animal worshiping, environmentalist, there’s a larger corporate/government interest. There lies the key to stopping them. Become more self-sufficient. There are always ways to do so. Don’t buy anything that you don’t need, and encourage them to spend even more. After the defaults, we’ll get new leadership at all levels.
I try to stock up on ammo every time I’m near somewhere that sells it.
