THINKING THE UNTHINKABLE In these times of increasing political instability and increasing corporate power grabs, with a few billionaire bozos to also add into the mix, it seems to me it would pay us well to start considering questions we might not have asked before. It is the unreflective assumption of many that things will always go on as they always have but in times like these that is a dangerous and maybe fatal assumption. The wise imagine what could happen rather than merely observing what is happening. So I wonder: 1. What would you do if your water supply failed? 2. What would you do if the shops closed? 3. What would you do if your bank account stopped working? 4. What would you do if a publicly infectious disease broke out? 5. What steps do you have in place for being able to survive, perhaps for weeks, without recourse to public resources? 6. What would you do if the power failed? 7. If you got injured but the hospital wouldn't accept you what would you do? These, and other, questions are ones you might want to think about in a time when governments all over the place are going rogue or simply being taken over by ideologues. It makes sense to build some resilience into your living situation or have some kind of idea for what to do in an emergency. And the time to think about that is before it happens rather than when it's too late. #politics #resilience #resistance

Hitler’s brilliant propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, famously told the Fuhrer, “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” Donald Trump and the MAGA faction of the Republican Party have taken Goebbels’ advice to heart, and it’s going to make this fall’s election one like we’ve never se...
