If crude gets to 150 or higher the entire Western economy will collapse. Diesel will become too expensive for trucks to continue shipping food and goods to warehouses and retail stores. Trucking companies will file bankruptcy. Massive shortages will begin to appear. Price of fuel will be too expensive to commute to make a living for most of America anymore. Not to mention the ripple effect on price inflation, which will turn to hyperinflation and the END of first world civilization as we know it.

PS: I think it's a 90% probability most of us here will be dead within the next 10 years. Unless our government grows a brain stem and stops the war with Iran but I doubt it, they always double and triple down on STUPID.

We are now in a very real dangerous crisis if this war continues. All it takes is 120 crude to make life miserable for most of the world, including most Americans. All it takes is 150 or higher for massive economic depression and starvation. If crude becomes too expensive so does fuel, fertilizer, industrial petrochemicals, plastics, electronics get too expensive to manufacture anymore.... your whole fucking way of life the last 100 years? GONE. Not for a year or two. For DECADES. Think barbarism.

So many young people today regret taking on massive federal student loan debts to get worthless college degrees while people in the trade can take on mortgage payments after a couple years of working and saving. It was never college that created the middle class, that was all a lie, it was the trade, vocational schools, learning hands-on skills.

I knew an old neighbor who was able to retire by the age of 50 just because of the money he saved up doing trade jobs since 1966. Before he retired he paid off all his mortgage debt and bought an RV to go on yearly road trips with his family, his wife not having to work. The trade is what made America great, don't let a bunch of "educated" marxist nut jobs or maga grifters fool you telling you otherwise. Without the trade middle class America would have never existed.

And guess what? I own them. I have full admin control over my operating system. I have awesome software for free, media rippers and converters, p2p networking, Tor and much more. I have a multiple backups of everything I want and need too. You know what's ironic about my "old shitty refurb laptops"...? THEY WORK 1000% FAR BETTER AND FASTER THAN MODERN NEW COMPUTERS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS DO. At least my laptops are not bogged down with corporate spyware and bloat.

Older laptops are overall better for basic common use, unless you are into intensive gaming or running local LLMs. Those older laptops even have CD/DVD writers and multiple USB ports making them great for media collectors and enthusiasts. If you are into local LLMs or gaming then you will need something much more expensive, technologically advanced. For an average Linux or Windows 7 user a refurbished laptop works just fine with almost any other task.

what did you end up getting op?
hardware: even 20 year old laptops have enough horsepower to display pdf fast
software: try Okular, it's foss. in it you can set how much memory to give it. i set mine to max level (greedy) so long documents with pictures are no problem.

Which would you prefer... depopulation by mass produced crap food for the dumb down "masses who are asses" or depopulation by starvation and war? It's not the best set of options but that is the options we are given today. If the "masses who are asses" want to eat toxic shit let them. Not everyone has to. I buy organic non-GMO as much as possible and stick to a healthy keto diet (fresh meat, fish, eggs, fruit, vegetables, dairy) limited carbs and avoid sugar. I also support the local farmers market so I know where I'm getting my meat from.

How would you start an anonymous political movement today? Anonymous 07/17/2026 (Fri) 18:09 [Preview] No. 79118 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
How would you start an anonymous political movement today?
Purely theoretical question (thought experiment).
If a single citizen wanted to build a political movement from scratch today, how would they do it without getting doxxed or the group turning into a cult?
Looking for theoretical answers only:
How to start from zero.
What are the concrete first steps.
Not looking to start anything real, just wanting some information on if it is possible in today's world

Begin by creating a parallel economy and isolated hidden communities where you could realistically survive as a self sufficient society in the hypothetical scenario where the government you are rebelling against did not exist. Without that there cannot be any revolution.

The fatal flaw of the panopticon is they have eyes everywhere but no clue what to pay attention to. Someone realizes that the chances they are being watched with any interest are slim, and just do whatever they want.

Both meat and vegetables are safe and healthy to eat. It's too much sugar and carbs that are bad and lead to diabetes. The so-called "food pyramid" was always a lie and we all joke about it these days how fucking fraudulent the medical establishment is today.
