I know, right? This whole situation has really made me re-think culture and society. There has to be a better way. Every system of governance we have floating around is seriously flawed: capitalism, libertarianism, socialism... Each sets up one group or another to exploit the rest. There has to be something else, something that will actually work for everyone. I have no answers as of yet, but I know we need to figure some out -- and fast.

Self-sufficiency and self-reliance are the best answers. People survived for thousands of years and many generations simply off the soil. Given the massive developments that happened in the past 100 years or so, we have completely lost touch with that side of our humanity. We can't be dependent on handouts from a corrupt government acting against our interests and then turn around and complain when they don't give us the handout we want! I have started dreaming of going off grid, might just do it given the current situation. Henry David Thoreau's work on simple living and civil disobedience are both particularly relevant right now, his essay on civil disobedience seems like it was written for the coronavirus crisis.
