 no militias anymore, that is the key problem

people just sit there passively waiting for The Man to send The Boots On The Ground instead of being equipped to solve it locally

 Militias are still around, they've just moved their focus to "the big one" & most of their activities offline & underground.

 i would literally migrate to join a legit local militia serving the neighours

a militia doesn't have a quartermaster... everyone has to bring their own and the main thing that makes it work is they gather and train

warfare is a very very very important skill to have and i would drop everything and move if i could be part of a legitimate defense organisation, i have wanted to be part of one since my mid 20s
