I think we're going to have to learn how to build real-world self-sufficient communities again. Act like outsiders settling a strange land with a hostile native population. Then it becomes a question of trying to find a region where that's both feasible and where the hostility of the native population is minimal.

I also work for a globohomo megacorp. One thing I will say is that there are a lot of powerful people whose entire fortune is tied up in globohomo megacorp stock, and they will exert gargantuan levels of effort to keep that system afloat. Bet against that at your peril. I'd rather have land, self-sufficiency skills, and community as a hedge against the system collapsing than anything else.

I have been thinking along similar lines. If I had money now, I’d be looking at buying as much land as I possibly could. The potential downside to that being if they really want to strip people of land in the future, they can make taxed prohibitively high, but cross that bridge when we get to it.

I think that’s kind of where we’re headed, some kind of gated community/tiny city-states, where no one is claiming to be politically autonomous, or attempting to live off the grid, they just live surrounded by private land, and take care of their own stuff, for the most part.

The more self-sufficient the community can be, the more immune to external pressure it is. Remember when LA was turning off power and water to houses where people were holding parties? Doesn't work if you have your own standalone power and water infrastructure.

The trick will be gatekeeping the hell out of the communities and building up whatever legal infrastructure will be necessary to allow that gatekeeping to occur.
