I know I'm not the purest anarchist in the bunker.

My preference for obsolescence and deconstruction leaves me a passive follow-behind amidst the #collapsitarian and #btfsttg friends I have.

But there is one point on which I will inevitably be considered radical:
The governmental monopoly on violence.

Like all government-enabled trusts and monopolies, the few permitted to "provide for the common defense", often called the military-industrial complex but also including the intelligence community complexes, lock out competition.
In doing so, the individual's right to self defense is destroyed.

And make no mistake. You have the right to defend yourself. A right to bear arms is a right to assert oneself in equal force against tyrannical government using violence against you.
This is not limited to muskets or semiautomatic weapons. If they come with tactical nukes you too should have tactical nukes. If they come with drones you too should have drones.

And it is that latter that I think people need to consider as their best current option:
I spoke of this last night, briefly, but something as inexpensive as a raspberry pi zero and hobby propellers can get a UAV airborne. Scrapped car parts, coiled copper for magnetic acceleration, and even paintball gun parts can make it effectively offensive.
A Kinect from the old XBox can give it eyes and 3D analysis capability. Free code from GitHub can grant it stunning responsiveness to it's environment.

You can have a defensive swarm for $125 each, controlled abstractly from your phone or laptop.
All monopolies and trusts fail on their inability to rapidly adapt to innovation. This is why they fix prices and block out competition: it extends their lifespan.

So innovate. Seek out the bleeding edge and find creative ways to ensure for your individual defense.
Tactical nukes are terrifying but far from flawless. UAVs are young and designed by inflexible trusts who take years to accomplish what two people in a garage can accomplish in weeks.

Find vulnerability. Exploit it. Force them to play on your field, not the other way around.
If you have that, obsolescence and collapse are both much closer in hand.

With no other choice, they will either escalate, which would cause conflagration (#btfsttg), or it would open the floor to negotiation, causing eventual obsolescence through compromise and awareness.
In conclusion...

(1) The story of #RubyRidge is nothing but heartbreaking.

Let's take a moment to discuss a story the Federal Government would rather be forgotten. A story of a family that only wanted to worship their God, raise their children, and be left alone.
(2) #StoryTime. Ruby Ridge is an outstretch of mountains in the northernmost part of Idaho, in a county named Boundary, as it rests right along the Canadian border, between the Washington and Montana borders.

When someone wants to be left alone, Ruby Ridge is one place they go.
(3) One person who wished nothing more than to be left alone was Randy Weaver. Weaver was a devout Christian & US Army vet who had become disillusioned with his government; in the early 1980's, he moved his family to a 20-acre plot of land on Ruby Ridge and built himself a home.

(1) I find this to be a fascinating interview. Chris Wallace sits down with President Putin.

(2) Wallace is clearly trying to frame his questions to force the false pretense of Russians hacking into an e-mail account being tantamount to election interference.

But Putin isn't playing that game.
(3) Putin LAUGHS at Chris Wallace's attempts to sound smart.

He doesn't even look at the papers Wallace tries to hand over -- and why would he? He knows what Units #26165 and #74455 do. They're part of his government.

(1) The #California Legislature is panicking tonight. They're currently presented with a watered-down #ConsumerProtection bill that would require tech companies to disclose the data collected on users, and delete the data collected on them at request. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavC…
(2) This bill poses a huge threat to the profits of FAANG corporations, and it poses a threat to the companies who rely on this data to sell advertisers and political groups analytics on prospective consumers/voters.

Why is it such a problem, though?
(3) The #CCPA is actually quite milquetoast, as it's written now. But if they don't pass this bill, California has a much bigger problem coming for them in November: the will of the people.
