Been thinking about it a lot, and how would people be able to communicate with each other if the forces of capital (huge telecom conglomerates) just decided to shut down and become dormant? Capitalism has such a stranglehold on society that we'd be absolutely fucked. What about our electrical grids? And to add onto that, you're probably facing the US military in addition to the militaries of all its allies

    A revolution doesn't have to be big and flashy. In today's capitalist hellscape, giving money to a homeless person is a revolutionary act. At least for now there's various ways to check out of society as much as possible. Pretty soon I'm going to start doing experiments with reducing my reliance on the grid. At least until something larger inevitably happens, if we try to reduce our consumption and work together, we can each do a little bit to make everyone's lives less shitty.
