Alito's draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage). He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not "deeply rooted in history."

There is no plan. Do your best to become integrated with a robust local mutual aid network and wait for the government to choke to death on it's own dick like everyone else.
I'm leaving the country
Join a political party and a union. We're far away from victory, but all movements that won were once in desperate positions themselves to.
Where to? Canada is actually pretty difficult from what I understand. Estonia has a digital nomad visa that's easy. Thailand is out since covid. Mexico? Costa Rica?
french foreign legion baby!!! gonna change my name to Florence Croque-Madame and commit unspeakable acts for 5 years until I get that sweet citizenship
Change your name to Hexbear Dotnet. Might as well do some free marketing for the forum while you're over there.

Apparently it's very very easy to find a job teaching English in China if you're certified bc the demand is so high. You need a college degree but it can be in anything, doesn't need to be related to English or teaching. Once my teeth are fixed that's my plan. Lets all have a hexbear party in Kunming

you can get a visa as long as you have a job, which as I established is not hard to find provided you're certified to teach English
the language is hard but not harder than living in this shithole
the culture being alien is good. The more different from western culture the better
normal people don't just assume people are sexpats, especially if they're actually employed. That's an extremely online weirdo thing to say
arent you the lib who thinks cancelling student debt would be bad? Leave me alone dumbass

Do you live on a coast? I'm trying to convince my spouse to ditch apartment life and get a houseboat. When shit hits the fan, I'll just raise the anchor and live off of fish for a while.
There's an episode of River Monsters that focuses on a Moken community, a stateless group of sea nomads who live in fishing communities built on giant rafts made from old boats and stuff. They're located somewhere off the coast of Burma. Anyway, that's my dream - a big ol' floating ocean commune. Move into a houseboat and join me.
China has been developing rice that can be grown in saltwater, could be useful
Holy shit, for real? That is a total gamechanger. We'd still have to mostly rely on trade for anything besides fish, but a secondary food source that we could grow without wasting our limited fresh water would be huge.
Plus, pre-salted rice.
I think currently they are targeting salty soils, not the literal ocean. I dont think the tolerance is anywhere close to ocean levels yet but maybe one day
Seize a container ship, plant crops on deck
Just when I thought china couldnt be more based, they go ahead and figure out a way to top themselves
Waterworld but communist
I hope my boat comes with Dennis Hopper, if I can appease him he will keep us safe
Seasteading is hard and never works out. What makes you think you can defy historic precedent?
It worked for those guys on River Monsters.
You won't have a production company funding your exploits. Reality TV was a mistake. The revolution will not be televised.
Have you seen River Monsters? It's just a guy going fishing in more remote regions around the world. They aren't constructing sea nomad villages for some sort of Survivor-esque challenge - this was a real place that he visited for like 15 minutes of a mid-season episode that primarily took place in Thailand. The goal was to get a first-hand look at the unique fishing techniques and gear they use to harvest needlefish.
You could dunk on me for the silly idea that I could organize something like this and you'd be absolutely right, but this isn't a made up concept. Look up the Bajau, Moken or Tonka peoples for a few examples of stateless groups that have been doing this for generations. Hell, there's evidence that the Bajau people have become genetically adapted to seafaring life, possessing spleens that are on average 50% larger than neighboring, land-based groups. This allows them to spend more time underwater when they freedive, which is their main method of gathering food resources. Think about how many generations they must have been practicing this lifestyle in isolation for... it's interesting stuff.

You're absolutely right. My boating experiences have all involved other people's boats and I'm probably underestimating how much upkeep is involved. I think I'd need to learn a lot more about boat repair and figure out what I'm capable of doing on my own before jumping into this, but I can't stand the claustrophobia of being landlocked.

This is extremely useful advice and I fully intend on making my boss start calling me captain the day I pass the exam. I appreciate it!
What if this, but on land and really low profile
Armed resistance wouldn’t necessarily be suicidal.
Convince Peter Thiel to hire some assassins to make the future safe for techno libertarians like himself.
Plan hasn't changed, the same solution is still a silent withdrawal from this economy and emergence into a new one.
