@KevinLikesMaps @micah @rvawonk combat doesn't win wars, logistics does. The left has been focusing on building networks, not training to fight. If you read books like Che Guevara's Guerrilla Warfare, you'll find that right wing militias don't have any strategy. They have no real strategy outside of terror and revenge so even if they win they'll just make things so hard for themselves that they'll lose anyway.

The key to surviving the mess they're making is to continue to build mutual aid networks that are resilient and have the ability to pivot in to armed defense when needed. It's easier to learn to shoot a gun, and easier to steal one if needed, then it is to figure out how to organize society without centralized power. Soap and boots are more important than guns. Being able to navigate the complexity of social interaction in crisis is more important than bullets. Sanitation is more important than body armor. Anyone supporting houseless camps is learning the hard things that militas won't have to learn until they're shooting each other and dying of cholera.

What we need to be thinking about now is how to make sure we have clean water, food, antibiotics, and other critical pharmaceuticals when existing logistics get shut down by militia.
