A good read for those just figuring out how bad the situation really is, and sort of freaking out. Look, if we retreat into a remnant, we're actually in a much worse position to influence what comes next. When people ask their libertarian neighbors who invested in their defense how they knew, we will be in a very influential position. Nothing wins an argument like success.

Of course, you always have to worry about whether you need to resist being rounded up; but if we are using our quiet influence in the black market rather than rioting and demonstrating, the state will be too busy to remove us; furthermore we will be too useful to remove.

In the meantime, just keep working harder to secretly increase the standards of living of yourself and your family. It's the only way forward. If we can't reverse the capital depletion, we are doomed as a society.
