Sure, but being realistic is not the same as pessimistic. And optimism shouldn't be delusional. There's a war on, & I think we're going to win, but belief in govt is the enemy.

USA is still the best bet and still most decentralized imo as long as we still have 2A. Get to a sovereign friendly state. That’s really all that matters. El Salvador is moving in a great direction, but pointless if you can’t defend yourself.
To add to this and why 2A is going to be viral when shit goes down… you won’t be defending yourself from the gov imo, you’ll be defending yourself from neighbors “mandibles”. Also why is so important to create a tight nit community.
