It is not about based vs woke.

It is about independent vs subservient.

Think for yourselves. Pursue truth. Build your life as though society and supply chains could be disrupted for several months.

It doesn’t mean being a prepper. It means understanding what your life relies on for a moderate amount of time, and thinking for yourself.

Bitcoin taught me independence

Check out nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n podcast, The Survival Podcast. Prepping should help you live a better life, if times get tough or even if they don’t

Jack is the man. A bit of an ass at times but speaks the truth as he sees it and has steered me right many times.

If you're not a prepper, you'll be subservient when SHTF 🙃

Shit hit the fan in 2008, 2020 and many times before that. And way worse in basically most of latam multiple times. The learning lesson was not to become a prepper but more so not to be in fiat.

Planning for a movie like doomsday is more of a hobby than a reasonable course of action. Fun hobby tho, love an excuse to buy cool shit I’ll likely never use

True but it is also very profitable to be a public doomsday prophet these days (especially in a saturated niche).

Depends where you live and how healthy the community.

Nobody understands it until it happens that it is their only way.

What makes me happy is that applying game theory we are on a train that goes to emancipation.

Who understand that will be rewarded, mental slaves will suffer for their lack of human coscience.

When you endorse bitcoin to people it seems you are convincing them to save the world. What you are really doing is convincing them to save themself.

An evergreen sentiment. We would all do well to heed these words. Beware the yoke of ideaology 🗽

Earned yourself a follow 🤝🫡

This is 100% correct, except this is basically the true definition of a prepper (most people incorrectly think prepping is just about guns, MREs, bunkers, and so on).

Real prepping means analyzing what things you are dependent on for your basic needs and determining how to increase your resilience in case e.g. supply chains are disrupted as you said.

Another comment already mentioned nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n, and I second this; on The Survival Podcast he does an excellent job of analyzing a wide range of topics with an eye towards building more resiliency in case of disruption or disaster.

Thank you Lynn

We’re fucked aren’t we? Most people *want* to be farmed.

It’s about both.

But false binaries are so hot right now

💯!

I love this, but after years, I am skeptical. The majority of folks can't kick obedience and be independent.

"No King but Christ" <-- independence, subservience, and based rolled into one.

Know your farmers :)

independence is a hard thing to learn when you have been told to play the game your entire life.

the education system, religion, workplace all follow the dogma do as you are told not as we do.

covid was the greatest demonstration of that cyops coming to fruition. masks, lockdowns and obedience.

question is - will they succeed again

or did the masses suffer enough pain to get smart?

time will tell.

resignation or rebellion

either way it is going to be ugly for a while unless .....

BTC gets so much traction in the next few years, that the meglomaniacs are left with the toilet paper.

i am for option 3. let's educate and give peace a chance.

> Build your life as though society and supply chains could be disrupted for several months.

your words sound very relevant to us Ukrainians.

Nope any disruption and I'm gonna scream.

Can not agree more! Unfortunately many of the new "self proclaimed maximalist" are doing nothing more than parroting and teaching Bitcoiners to become sheep. Worst is they are not being called out because they "toe the line" to get likes and boost their accounts.

Well said 🤙🫡 #thinkforyourself

This is great advice, and I would like to add, is the very definition of prepping.

Just sayin’…

In some ways, it might also be viewed as simply contributing to building a resilient community (physical and otherwise).

This looks a little different to each, each person, family and community, and we need to be talking about what are the needed elements… I’d say #bitcoin is one. And #Nostr. Some elements require greater degree of coordination. Our new ingredient is the ability to coordinate value across space and time without a central authority. The central authority now becomes our Community. Pretty freaking exciting. What’s next?!?

Based. 🤭

I suck at being a prepper. I prefer to have houses in safe haven nations and a plan to move quickly if the need arises.

This exactly. I’ve lost many friends due to thinking for myself, and not for others.

With all strands of organizations & entities being hellbent to establish layers upon layers of governance (often under democratic gestures) who R gunning to take over our rights & liberties globally, transnationally & subnationally the main problem remains over-saturated governance that fragmented & diluted our rights & liberties. The urgent task in critical thinking & acting is to strip these entities from their grip over our livelihood rather than participating, establishing & deputizing more governance in order to redeem the currently elusive personal "independence". This needs to be accompanied w that economic self-sustenance that u mentioned as these entities will do whatever it takes to stay in power & won't give up easy.

there is definitely a level of personal responsibility, too. the more you can take care of yourself, the less you need other people to take care of you and the less likely you are to be affected by a supply chain disruption

Yea if you have to mentally dodge being associated with 'preppers' (aka identity politics label) I doubt you'll survive any amount of time without a supply chain.

thinking is hard
