Disengagement from the system

The general theme of most politically aware liberty minded preppers has been to “circle the wagons” it has been the general theme of my various blogs from about 2000. The “world” cannot be saved, we need “the Great Winnowing” a great test of fire - I don’t want it, I fear and dread what I know will happen but if humanity is to be free and not decline into de-evoloutionary drone slavery we need to make sure the oligarchy and parasitic classes do not make it out of the “the Great Winnowing” intact.

Decades back America was such a country..."

"As decline begins, and government becomes oppressive, self-righteous, and ruthless yet incompetent, as official spying flourishes, as corruption sets in hard, and institutions rot, it is time to disengage. Loyalty to a country is a choice, not an obligation. In other times people have loved family, friends, common decency, tribe, regiment, or church instead of country. In an age of national collapse, this is wise.” "A fruitful field of disengagement might be called domestic expatriation—the recognition that living in a country makes you a resident, not a subscriber. It is one thing to be loyal to a government that is loyal to you, another thing entirely to continue that loyalty when the Brown Shirts march..."
