Sup man. Listening, I'm with you. Where there is one, that one will find another and there will be two.
Two can find more and two will be four. Four can be eight and before long there are many, many people willing to take a stand, to talk and to learn more about where we are going.
Lookin for a good list of books to read through to in regards to all this. Already been through Ishmael and Endgame, though would love to know more.
Nope. Can't change peoples minds. Change your own mind, cultivate a different consciousness, nurture it and continue to raise your OWN frequency. Doing so, will make you resonant to other people of a similar vibration. Every movement starts with one person, then few, then many then masses.
We have already overshot our carrying capacity. If everyone stopped using oil today, I'm guessing that half the world population would die within a couple years of starvation and disease. The crash is happening now! Drop out now! Some good skills to learn include: wild herbal medicine, delivering babies, hunting game, making sail boats, learning to use a hand gun, learn to socialize and make friends, and whatever else you can think of.
one thing i've been noticing is to put the "collapse" in the near unforeseeable future... it's happening right now. we are more than half way into everything you've mentioned right...? all the "bad" shit we think we're gonna see is already happening in abundance right now... we're just dumb enough to think because it's not happening to us the way it is happening to iraqi's, alawa,etc we're ok for now... so it make sense to start there... ???
you end this on a good note "lets talk more" don't underestimate the publics want for different options. when they hear different options or see them a shift happens right away, it might take time for people to rationalize thier options as possible but we store them in mind and when we need them they surface right away.
I've found that when I read something new about the climate crisis, about species loss, about pollution..whatever. It just makes me depressed, and that drains my energy. I don't need to know all the details anymore to know that civilization is fucked up and needs to come down NOW. So instead, I spend that time, say, learning about wild food in my area, and then when I'm out with a friend, I point out the wild plants. Just an example from my own life. Hope this helps.
Letting yourself feel the full impact, letting yourself get scared, get hurt, get angry, get sad, is very, very important. Initially. But after you've woken up and realized how bad it is, thats when you've got to let it roll off your back, because staying down in that darkness only drains the energy that would be better used resisting the system, and educating people, and continuing to educate yourself.
We know that the system will collapse, in that sense, we will win. In that sense, the system will destroy itself and do some of the work for us. What remains a question is what will be left when its all over..thats where our obligation lies. In doing what we can to protect the land and species that are left, and to educate people about sustainability. If we're doing what we can, thats all we can do. Beyond that, you just gotta let it roll off your back, lest it hold you down.

very true, because its not in our backyard, we cant see on a day to day basis how bad it is (and thats probably on purpose).
thats kinda what prompted "the end is here" campaign. it worked (and is working) for many...
