Under the lens of permanent sustainability, there is far less room for systems that require excessive centralized maintenance to continue existing. Automation is essential. The motivation is community.

Compare this to the world as it is now functioning under the delusional falsehood of permanent growth. Most things will fail, and very quickly, without constant attention. It's profit motivated; individualistic and unpersonal.

This is why the world burns and also how we fix it.

The quickest path to unseating the powers that are driving the world in its current direction is to stop asking permission for everything and build our own infrastructures and technologies. Design everything with the principle of permanent sustainability in mind. Erosion beneath the foundations of these power structures is something we can all bring about without ever remotely needing violence.

Always think of how things can be done without relying on someone else to do it for us. They won't be there when we need them later, so it's up to us to not need them.

@valkyrie @valkyrie It's not about needing those people, it's about needing the physical resources that they have monopolized and avoiding their physical attacks against our bodies. There's only so much we can do to challenge their power without risking a violent assault from which we will need to defend ourselves. Regardless, we should maneuver and coordinate as much as possible before that point so that we can maintain our operations while isolating and confusing the would-be tyrants.
