/r/collapse is very fertile ground for agitation, more so every year. This new subreddit, specific to the global supply chain collapses, is also a place where we can speak directly to the emotions people are feeling and the material conditions creating them. If it isn't full of socialists it will soon become full of libertarian preppers.

edit: I've also got no part in leadership there. It started popping up in crossposts yesterday.

    If it isn’t full of socialists it will soon become full of libertarian preppers.

    This is important to recognize. When people figure out that business as usual has no answers, they go looking outside the political mainstream. This is one of the rare groups of people who are (at least momentarily) willing to significantly change their worldview.

    But what they hear earliest, most often, and most persuasively can lock them into another entrenched worldview where change becomes difficult. We can pull them left now, and if we don't, they might get sucked into some garbage ideology (e.g., libertarianism) for years until they're reachable again.
