War neulich ein interessanter Artikel zu dem Thema im Spektrum — ich hoffe sehr, dass es nur ein Nager zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort war.

Gibt es eigentlich einen belastbaren Zusammenhang zwischen Exportüberschüssen in einer globalisierten Welt, einer strafsteuerinduzierten Rezession und der Errichtung eines faschistischen (meinetwegen: faschistoiden) Systems? Oder in kurz: Trump wurde vor der Wahl als sozial autoritär, aber wirtschaftsliberal gehandelt. Die Zollpolitik könnte eine Rezession bewirken. Verfolgt diese Administration einen versteckten Plan, oder sind die einfach zu blöd? #Trump #USA #Zölle #Rezession #Faschismus

@mountainwitch There’s the possibility to act in groups here — I‘ve looked it up: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/ I‘ll do some research — maybe the connection is already there?

@mountainwitch „Glocal“ or an open system — that‘s what I‘ve thought of. We connect directly with skilled people in our area while staying in contact with groups in other areas. As long as we have the possibility to share thoughts, skills, knowledge, discussions online, we should do so, I guess, because that provides us with different approaches, inspirations to the same problems we all face — plus outside views prevent the social bubble or echo chambers. (cont.)

@synchron Lerne so viel wie möglich. Suche dir erfahrene Lehrer:innen, die dir das unaufgeregt beibringen. Das Wichtigste draussen ist Temperaturregelung (warm, wenn‘s kalt ist, kühl, wenn‘s heiss ist), trinkbares Wasser, 1.-Hilfe-Wissen. Dann: Wo bekommst du Kalorien her? Versuche, möglichst wenige Werkzeuge — generell wenig — zu brauchen. Lerne mit dem, was du hast, zu improvisieren. Versuche, deinen Körper langsam abzuhärten. Nimm das Wissen in deinen Alltag und eigne es dir an.

If someone gave you a spinning wheel, a loom and a sheep, you COULD make your own clothes. But it would probably take you years to teach yourself how and you would be freezing and in rags before you figured it out. However, if you were also friends with someone who knew how to look after the sheep, shear it's wool, clean, card and spin that wool, weave the threads on the loom and then show you how to cut and sew a garment, it would go much faster.

Now if you ALREADY had those skills when you had the leisure time, money and people/resources to learn, you would not only be way ahead of the game but you could sell or barter your product and your knowledge as the needs arise.

Think about all the things you have and use that you have no idea how they were produced or where they came from. Think about all the people in your community with different skills and talents that you could learn from or trade and barter from.

The point is, learn some primitive skills now. Find out what you have inherent talent in. Experiment. Look for local resources. Find your people. Learn all kinds of different ways to look after yourself and your family when things collapse. Our high tech world is fragile and not sustainable. People are going to be shocked at how fast things fall apart and break when the means to continually consume, replace or repair are interrupted.

@mountainwitch Hm. That‘s exactly my approach. An idea: Why not form a community of like-minded, skilled people here on mastodon, keep it going as long as possible and answer questions? Everyone has a skill and a talent, I guess. One could share ideas, concepts, get to know new approaches, and adapt them. The more you know, the quicker you learn, right? #socialprepping #preparedness #prepper #prepping

@jmcrookston I‘ve tried to listen. After 20 minutes I finally failed: just a narcissistic ego-fuckery of limping analogies — thank you, #NewYorkTimes for ennobling this NRxponent providing him with your platform. This guy’s knowledge about historic events is flat like a projection — and that’s still a compliment. #AynRand warmed after a hundreth times still smells like fermented dog shit. It says a lot about the state of #JDVance, #PeterThiel, and consorts.

@mountainwitch The ability to vary the distance to this fascist assholery helps a lot. Then start building a structure against it. Invite family, friends, neighbours to create a space for people. Connect. Communicate. Support. Profit from group knowledge. Strengthen institutions, and resist.

@mountainwitch #Corporatocracy, I wrote several weeks ago. This assumption makes Trump head of communication, not president of the American Democracy. The CEOs run the US.

@mountainwitch That one will do, I guess. 😁

@DoomsdaysCW I like the idea …

@grrlscientist Let‘s add Golfo de Cuba.

@DoomsdaysCW When it comes to rewilding a forest in terms of biodiversity and such I really enjoy following this project here: https://youtu.be/UwTzWRHkz8g?feature=shared Many inspirational ideas … I like the slow approach, and the aesthetics — maybe also for the outdoor classroom?

@DoomsdaysCW Another idea: In my area wild garlic (#alliumursinum, super tasty) grows first. The lily of the valley (#convallariamajalis, very poisonous) joins in later. The leaves are quite similar. To avoid confusing wild garlic leaves with the ones of the #lilyofthevalley, one can plant two or three lilys of the valley in an ideal spot in the garden (with a rhizome barrier, though!). As soon as the first leaf tips appear there, take extra care when collecting #wildgarlic.

@wgd Wunderbar — danke für die Antwort und den Link!

@wgd Hm. Kurzer Blick zurück auf den Schwedenurlaub: gamla stan heisst Altstadt, gammal bedeutet alt. Zufall oder Etymologie?

@AnkeB Bitte schön, gerne!
