” If you do not already have friends and family on board with your way of thinking, you will be isolated, making survival far more difficult if a breakdown does occur. “
The breakdown is occurring and we ARE isolated. The National entities designed to protect Americans are in enemy hands, as they are in Germany. Any non-governmental organizations are immediately denigrated as “insane whack-job militias” completely infiltrated by agents. Often an accurate portrayal unfortunately.
There must be a middle-ground. Patriot Self Defense Forces. Something. Something of the sort is needed. I just can’t put my finger on exactly the idea that would work best.
Study the tactics of those who have been under occupation before such as the French underground, Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty, or even the VietCong. To survive against a larger force you often need to go underground rather than put out a signup list.
