I see this statement all the time, but just what does it mean. What does it take to do a reset? I really do not think people have looked past those few words to really think about what it would take to do a reset as people suggest. Once people look what that really means 99% will say F that! You don't want to create something worst, and it seems everyone has a system in their head that is better, but when you actually add humans to it all it can be 10 times worst then what you took down. Just look at history time and time again, there is no great system, but a crap load of really bad ones. In America we have a good one, not super great, but good. There are ebbs and flows to it, but what kind of makes it good is as it drifts one way or another it corrects back to the middle.

I always find it amusing when people on this forum start talking about their government using terms like "fascist" or "Communist", or describing how it as being authoritarian or controlling.
No matter how bad anybody here thinks that either Trump or Biden was are, or even Fauci for that matter. They're kind nurturing pushovers compared to some of the things that I've seen, and I didn't get sent to a labor camp. My friends or colleagues who did have some abject horror stories that put things like mandatory mask wearing into sharp perspective.
21st century America isn't perfect, but it beats living behind the iron curtain.

Oh, I am sure I know what it means, and it won't be pretty. But neither are stories of child sacrifices. I suggest to people if you will look at the Amish people and how they practice living, then you will see how far back we need to reset. We dump the tech and the asshats can't do a whole lot of crap they are doing now. But we won't unless there is a huge world affecting EMP or Solar event. If is going to be hell one way or another if the direction we are headed is not changed abruptly. I would like for this to resolved without it being hell on Earth. We may be heading for that at breakneck speed thanks to the machinations of the Elite cabal.

I have a dear friend, a German lady who was a war bride and came to the US with her GI husband. She's spoken about how her mother and father - "good people" - just couldn't or wouldn't see what was happening around them until it was too late

Well sometimes the boot appears worn on another's foot. Perhaps if America goes down the same way Germany did after the first world war then American Women will have to marry Chinese GI soldiers and move to China where life is kicking.

I am looking into forming a co-op or similar to buy land. I think getting as self sufficient as possible is the best and pretty much the only thing anyone can do. I’ll elaborate later as I’m going out soon. But would be interested to hear others thoughts on this approach.
Communism type won't work because people become lazy. Some motivation to do your part like we have to do in an office setting is needed. Study places like "the Farm" in Tennessee. Having grown up in the Nashville and Memphis areas I have heard about the antics of the members. It took a lot of heartache to get it all sorted out too. That one damn near collapsed. No violence, but lots of laziness after a while of everyone getting their assignments settled. When I was in college my buds were buying the stinky green buds of Indica species of the smokable Hemp from "The Farm". It was definitely something that got some pooh stirred in a Conservative area full of Pentecostals, Church of Christ, Catholics and Baptists who believed too much in the old testament side of the Bible the Israelites use solely.

The idea is just for a group of people to pool their money to buy arable land. As it is generally sold in parcels of 3 acres upwards it is unaffordable for manage and frankly to much for a single small holding, a small family can be self sufficient on about an acre or even less depending on the site. What you purchase would be your responsibility and the amount you own dependent on your contribution to the purchase. By setting up a co-op it should be easier and simpler than have solicitors as the intermediary.
