Here's a text translated from Bulgarian that suggests ways to survive in these troubled times. It's about Bulgaria, but it can be implemented anywhere.
Due to the lack of a strong policy instrument for the protection and freedom of Bulgaria at the moment, I think that the solution of some of the issues has to start at a personal, local level without the state.
1. Regarding our physical survival:
I imagine the creation of autonomous farms in not large groups of several families, associates, friends, relatives. Creation of local structures such as nurseries, schools, community centres, farms, alternative exchange of goods and services independent of the state and the banks. For example some exchange services: like one will repair someone's house in exchange will receive another service or goods. Such mini-societies can only exist through the guarantee of commonly accepted morality and goodwill. They could have structures as diverse as the people and their needs. When such a strong, vibrant and viable environment for life is created, external pressures lose their destructive power. In an energy or food crisis, for example, such mini-societies would provide the lifeblood for the more serious battles that can be fought in cities. Village life naturally brings people together and unites them, and this unity is quite imperative given that Bulgaria is in something of an ideological civil war at the moment. However, it is also likely that the opposite will happen - another division between those who choose the villages and those who stay in the cities, but that is another topic.
2. Another very important point seems is the education. In such small communities, educational and cultural gatherings of all kinds can be easily organized. It is enough to have volunteers who give a little of their time to the children. Crafts could be revived, as could the semi-fabrication of many items without much investment. There could be such classes in all subjects and we could regain our spirituality, history, mathematics, spelling, etc. That is, what the state does not do or does badly, let us create it ourselves.
All this is naturally linked to the return to the villages which are begging for repair and care. But there are plenty of houses. I think the revival of the villages is a major part of Bulgaria's salvation.
3. On energy independence: In rural areas a huge part of heating costs could be reduced by introducing new home insulation techniques. The internet is overflowing with information on all sorts of methods for saving energy, but also for producing it. An energy crisis could be a powerful stimulus for introducing these ideas into practical, everyday life. Ecology and sustainable development are not the monopoly of the left-wing Western parties or the EU. These are necessary and good things for life that have been grabbed and corrupted by the globalists. That is to say, permaculture, free energy and all nature-friendly practices can be a real lever of salvation in difficult times, because they are not expensive. They just require knowledge and work. Knowledge is exchanged, and so is labor, It all rests solely on good will.
Here are a few applications:
Exchange of knowledge for rainwater harvesting and purification, heating and insulation with materials at hand, clay, straw, biogas production from plants, heating greenhouses by the heat of the earth or compost, high productivity farming without artificial fertilizers, with little water and digging, etc. The knowledge of agriculture has evolved tremendously since the time of our grandparents, due to the vast global exchange of experience and the internet. And while some of them are still alive, we also have their invaluable experience.
Same with solar ovens, cooking boxes, air conditioners, etc.
All of this doesn't preclude larger scale solutions, nuclear and power plants, but it seems to me that it would help in the next few years in case the politics go bad.
In summary, autonomous farms in small groups of a few families, free education centres for children and adults, a revival of crafts and a return to the villages seem to me some very sensible and realistic ways of strengthening Bulgaria and the Bulgarian spirit.
In fact, this is no longer just about Bulgaria. Reasonable people everywhere are moving towards autonomy and self-sufficiency and taking matters into their own hands. Even people with large financial resources are moving towards such practices.
Moreover, dispersing the population in villages would make the implementation of any dictatorial measures more difficult. We all saw what happened during the so-called pandemic.
What is needed is complete civil disobedience combined with the ability to survive. That way, whatever happens at the political level, a population scattered in the villages would have a much better chance of survival than the huddled and dependent-for-everything inhabitants of the big cities. All it would take is for a bomb to drop or your water to be cut off and life could come to resemble that in Mariupol.
Organizing a new way of life in the countryside may be a priority in the years to come.
