As with all (and especially self-identified) doomer literature, this piece stops just before the important realization: you can't do it yourself, but you can do it with your community.
Our lives are going to get worse. Many people will die. If we form sustainable local communities, and build political coalitions to lessen the damage going forward, fewer of us will die, and our lives will get "less worse".
It's not over until it's over.
- oniony 3y agoExcept it doesn't stop before that realization, it explicitly mentions it in the article.
- NoraCodes 3y agoIt mentions it in one sentence and then caveats it with saying oh but they're crazy and irritating. It then moves on to talk more about how we're all doomed. It's just unnecessarily negative.
- IggleSniggle 3y agoIt doesn't. It says that once you've built a proper community, you've built "the grid." You're not living "off grid." That's like the whole point of the article. You're never going to make it on your own. Like it or not, we're all in this together. And it's pretty clearly aimed at the folks that don't think they need anybody else to make it.
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoThank you Build community not bunkers Only one has the ability to last and be sustainable
- myshpa 3y agoHistory is full of communities that were eradicated and buried in the ditches meant to protect them.
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoI think you're agreeing but it's unclear
- pixl97 3y agoTypically killed by other communities...
- mikestew 3y agoAs with all (and especially self-identified) doomer literature, this piece stops just before the important realization: you can't do it yourself, but you can do it with your community. The article mentions it, and it calls "community" a grid. I mean, what do we think a "grid" is? A collective effort to more efficiently bring $GOOD_STUFF to...you knew it was coming...a community of people.
