(No, not the dig-a-bunker-hoard-food-and-shoot-everyone-prepper will survive. Nobody will make it alone, and also nobody will make it on the expense of others. Our greed and self-centeredness needs to die. I know I repeat myself, but let's grow up and help each other.)

Analysis of nations on their potential resilience in the ongoing climate and system breakdown, defining possible "collapse lifeboats"

MDPIAn Analysis of the Potential for the Formation of ‘Nodes of Persisting Complexity’Human civilisation has undergone a continuous trajectory of rising sociopolitical complexity since its inception; a trend which has undergone a dramatic recent acceleration. This phenomenon has resulted in increasingly severe perturbation of the Earth System, manifesting recently as global-scale effects such as climate change. These effects create an increased risk of a global ‘de-complexification’ (collapse) event in which complexity could undergo widespread reversal. ‘Nodes of persisting complexity’ are geographical locations which may experience lesser effects from ‘de-complexification’ due to having ‘favourable starting conditions’ that may allow the retention of a degree of complexity. A shortlist of nations (New Zealand, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland) were identified and qualitatively analysed in detail to ascertain their potential to form ‘nodes of persisting complexity’ (New Zealand is identified as having the greatest potential). The analysis outputs are applied to identify insights for enhancing resilience to ‘de-complexification’.

We outnumber them by sheer numbers, so let's flood the streets, flood their mailboxes, flood their phones, withhold the money, walk out of jobs all at once, volunteer in free community help in whatever is needed.
Pick one and do it.

Any activist event demanding you RSVP with your name etc... is bullshit... some of these political parties asking this of you should know fucking better, I get emails from some parties because I signed a petition or more on some things I agree with but they ask too much when it comes to protesting and usually its far from antifascist actions anyway.

"Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated regions of intense atmospheric moisture transport that are responsible for a large proportion of midlatitude extreme precipitation. [...] ARs will intensify due to warmer air’s ability to hold more moisture."
