Grow your own food. Share what you can't use.

Connect with your neighbours. Offer to help with anything you're good at. Share tools with them.

Hyper individualism is capitalism's best friend. You can't borrow a chainsaw from someone you don't know. You have to buy zucchini from the store because you don't know anyone with a garden. You have to pay a plumber for a simple leak instead of someone you know being able to help. And so on.

The powers that be will shit themselves if we all start cooperating instead of fighting. Why do you think they stoke the anti-trans flames so hard? Why make up that they're eating the dogs and eating the cats?

They don't want us getting along. That's bad for business. You can do your part to fuck them up simply by remembering how to be a real human. Not a consumer.

You heard it here first kids, plumbers exist because of capitalism.

most of all - ignore the last 100 years of socialist history detailing what a useless, inhumane disaster it's always been

I started a jalapeño pepper plant two years ago that's been popping out peppers like crazy. I hate peppers, so I give them to anyone who wants them around town.

I do not share tools though, they never seem to come back. If you need a tool or something I have, as long as you don't mind a furry foul mouthed Canadian I'll gladly come help though and bring them along.
