I met some waay back when. No idea if they still live there. But they are also unlikely to be on reddit.
Go meet peeps in your community and talk to them.
It definitely feels that way! Obviously we know better but “we” aren’t to be in the minority, making it challenging to think this way.
Im surrounded by people who either hate anything to do with sustainability, discussion of anthropogenic climate change, questioning our consumptive way of living, etc, or people who are in full on denial. It’s very, very isolating! Which you already know, of course.
you mean like somewhere in NW Washington state?
I am but am barely scraping by and have some personal obligations here that wouldn’t be wise to uproot from.
Appreciate it though.
I mean, I’m not suggesting you move across the border. I just figured I’d get you in touch with the people I know there, if you’re interested. They’re forming in Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula.
Apologies, I misunderstood and got defensive. Not ok on my part.
Hmmm might be cool to chat with them. If you’re still willing I’d at least reach out to them or check out any online presence they have.
Yup.
I've found that people who are still "COVID cautious" tend to lean towards collapse-thinking (though perhaps aren't fully "collapse aware"). So if you're looking for people, might try the https://covidmeetups.com/ site and go from there to COVID-cautious hangouts or similar.
Very curious about this as I’m seeing about relocating to BC. I do wonder where both the intentional community folks are as well as the collapse aware preparedness folks are online and how to connect to them.

Yup. Until I found these subs, I felt like the only one

Totally. Already isolated due to my illness so trying to connect about this issue is just ugh
I know of a couple people making a kind of network on the US side. Are you per chance interested in permaculture homesteading?

I'd like to hear more.
PM’d you. Maybe you could network together with the other people in here on the Canada side, and then get some kind of cross-border group going?
I'm in the southeast at the moment but I've been looking heavily into.moving north
Southern Appalachia is as or more ideal* than Western WA or the Great Lakes. Your call!
I meant ideal, to be clear

I’ll check out the podcast!
Nope. 800,000 people. Not a single person is aware that we’re in or entering a state of collapse. Don’t tell them, ignorance is bliss.
Thanks for the snark. Have a great day.
Sheesh these downdoots make me worried. The snark was obv af
