Topic: Rebuilding Communities and Identities with USB sticks and Love (Read 274 times)

Finally, as people strive to find their own role in rapidly changing societies, they must prepare completely different tools and processes of organization to sustain themselves, and as part of this process, abandon old ways.  This requires cultivation of a mindset in which you will have largely attained freedom from fear in the context of typical judgments and condemnations (which are designed to elicit fear in the population), and where you will also need to enhance the level of comfort and support provided by local community networks to help you weather the storms as you proceed to seek out change in your community and beyond.

In the process of working through how to move forward to make technological tools for communities to take ownership of their future, one of the real failures of the software development communities, particularly in privacy oriented circles, has been the issue of complexity in what they have produced.  That which is good for helping people to protect themselves against real threats, has often been developed without an eye to what most people would consider obstacles to practical use.

With this in mind, I've presented here a guide to rebuilding and rebooting communities for increased independence (financial and other) from the corporation-state which is intended to be as simple as possible and, with some help from others in your community, the hope here is that these tools will provide a fully portable starting point which can be used and shared (even when you don't have access to internet).  Everything shown here is intended to be fit onto a USB drive and run from there, to keep things as streamlined as possible.
