I think that self-preparedness is critical. Survival skills should be known. On the other hand, I don't agree that the culling is here yet. There is punishment for those among us who are the most outspoken (think Fuentes), but that is mostly to keep the rest of us in line by showing us the practical consequences.

They are not yet at the stage where they are cutting conservatives off of the financial system or anything like that. That would lead to a very quick exodus to alternatives, and that undermines their goals. They want conservatives to stay in the system so that they can remain the system. If all conservatives left Facebook or dumped Google and went to their own platforms, then they would lose control of us.

We are far easier to manage in one pen. You can see that from how they waffle back and forth on implementing a vaccine passport. On the one hand they want to punish us by denying us services for our lack of compliance, but on the other, if they go too far then we'll just split off and create our own society without their control systems.

They have to condition us to accept our own slavery. It's simply too easy to rebel otherwise.
