“The system may be working exactly as designed.”
Maybe it never happens. Maybe democracy holds. Maybe the alarms go silent. That’s the best-case scenario. And if it happens—if the skies clear—you’ll have a stocked pantry and a stronger password. No harm in that.
But if it doesn’t—if things shift like they have in so many places before—you’ll be ready to stay safe, stay sane, and stay one step ahead.
And in a regime built to make you helpless, that alone is a kind of defiance.
