So what do you do to be prepared for sudden geopolitical changes? I’m not sure I what to do. Or if I am doing something but don’t realize it?
The sudden geopolitical changes I refer to is to that, of the fall, of the political authority, of Washington DC and that it has not happened yet.
In that instance, assuming that we already preppers and have the means, for our own immediate familial relations squared away. I would start, by beginning to be discretely noisy and looking around to see, whether there already exists established or rumored groups that talk about life, in the aftermath, of a fall, of the US. Staying away from racialized or organized crime related elements, I would begin my search there and see what I can find. If none exists, within your immediate community, expand your search farther and see what you can find. If you still can find nothing, then maybe, it may time to begin the discussion casually with trusted people around you and go from there.
Unlike the rest, of the CONUS, Texas and Hawaii always had elements that casually or fanatically believed, in the illegal annexation and legal restoration, of both nation states. Hence, there have always been rational people and maybe whole communities that felt they were always independent. This is very important, if the federal government, of the US, no longer functions, for whatever reason. Such people are mentally prepared and perhaps even looking forward, to that geopolitical eventuality, and were ready, to do whatever it takes, to restore their respective sovereign nations. In such cases, the restoration, to nation state status possessing societal normalcy will be relatively quicker.
It is that mental shock, of knowing your nation state does not exist, that will render most people incapacitated, in doing what they need to do, to restore order, in the communities around them. It is this phenomenon, that hvybarrels speaks of that can lead to tremendous chaos and death. However, as I pointed out, in the fall, of the Soviet Union example, it does not have be a totally bloody affair, if people can acquire the right mindset now. Fortunately, for the nations that made-up the Soviet Union, they simply reverted back, into being the nations they were. For the US empire, theoretically that should be the same case. However, unlike Texas and Hawaii, and maybe the original 13 colonies, most other states do not have that kind of rich pre-US empire history. Being subjects, of the US empire, is all that they know. With the exception, of those territories that belonged to Mexico and perhaps Alaska, which is literally always, on their own, the other former states will take a longer time, for the people there, to acquire the right kind of mindset quickly enough, to pick-up the pieces around them and think of themselves, as truly sovereign states.
