Consider this from Concerned American:
Stick to your damned knitting, folks.
Resistance elements need to max their PT and other training/organization efforts, while continuing to work on their reconnaissance surveys.
Support elements need to focus on materiel preparation and storage efforts, along with acquisition and refinement of skills.
Propagandists need to keep their efforts focused on building effective resistance, rather than the utterly-futile political arena.
Polygonal Battlespace. You must be working on all fronts at the same time.
The only statement I would qualify regards the utter-futility of the political arena.
Voting will not get us out of our current problems. That is a fact. But there will be a political space after implosion/Ruckus/TEOTWAWKI and work now in the political space to lay the ground holds value, for me.
There are natural allies out there to reach before the world changes.
If you believe in the concept of Tribes, never forget that the biggest, best-organized, best-equipped Tribe on the field is the Tribe made up of the Political Class. They have the resources. They have manpower. They have tools. They have millions of people directly on their payroll, with tens-of-millions more dependent upon their favor. They have the ability to take control of many of the critical factories that feed preps today, from bullets to beans.
Do not relax on any front.
Remember, hundreds of hot-dog vendors were conscripted for nothing more than the license to sell hot dogs. Comply with the Political Class, or they pull your card.
That Tribe has serious power.
Here's CA's piece.
