  • Suicide isnt the answer

    I too am attempting to figure out how to best navigate this new world, my hope is that there is a path that i can walk which still preserves most of the quality of life ive enjoyed so far in our old flawed system, and which counters the strength of this new techno fuedal world thats being built - or at least does not continue to empower it, and also, one which does empower a more solarpunk future and life which i do want to live.

    How im finding that path currently is first, understanding what reality is now and what i actually want - but be careful here to not completely devote all your time and energy to just understanding, least those insights never turn to action

    Then, im taking little steps, the smallest steps that i can, within this system, but towards my solarpunk ideals, and against the technofuedalist ideals

    For me, that means growing a small garden, self hosting some services, going to at least one local politics meeting a month - it also means canceling some subscriptions, not eating some foods, and not consuming ads and using various tools to reduce my information footprint

    They’re small steps, but i can tell that theyre building a foundation and momentum, that backlog of experience and resilience which can be drawn on, so that bigger steps, such as quiting my corporate job, moving to a larger property with land to homestead on, and more deeply integrating with the community is a smaller and smaller gap until im able to get to the point where in able to make that leap

    You’re path may look different, but hopefully its a good reference for you
