Lol I'm not really a collapsitarian. This is a fucking meme, people. I prefer to believe that politicians running for office (and the offices themselves) don't bring about real solutions to problems (most of which they created), but rather work on local community building, with individuals who believe the same. We help each other with trades of goods & services, skill-sharing, un-banking, supporting each other's privacy tech/communications & small biz efforts, among other things.
