In this episode, we discuss the warning signs (hyperinflation, climate disasters, failing infrastructure) and debunk the myth of the lone survivalist. From Rome’s collapse to today’s crises, the real key to resilience? Community. We’ll explore mutual aid networks, food sovereignty, and decentralized solutions that actually work—because when systems crumble, cooperation outlasts competition.

Featuring insights from the organizers behind @thegeneralstrikeus, we’ll share actionable steps to prep now—from growing food to building local networks. Plus, why the Land Back movement and Indigenous survival strategies offer a roadmap for what comes next.
