Classic liberals cared about the country and state of the people in it overall. Did not agree with many of their proposed solutions but never thought they were all in on the outright destruction of institutions and the country. We saw all that go out the window with the recent summer of love riots. What was once on the fringes was rolled out nationally.
They think they have enough horsepower to push this thru and they do if we let them. What you do to push back will take different forms with everyone who does so and that's what makes it so powerful. Instead of coordinated groups it's totally random forms of opposition. Remember when riots are staged that's the battlefield they want you to fight on. Be a doer but not a joiner.
And the easiest way to be a doer is to downshift & limit your consumption of new goods. Starve the beast of income. Some new goods are worth buying but most aren't. Teach yourself to discern what actual value vs. veneer is -
Repair what's broken do not replace
Buy used items whenever possible and use them up
Buy used clothes from thrifts, tailor to fit you
Buy new clothes from work wear brands (they last), tailor to fit you
Invest in high quality shoes/boots (they last) and take care of them
Have local water sources (stream, lake, pond) tested for contaminants
Learn to cook and with that you will learn how to grocery shop
Seek out local farms w/ farmstands and buy direct
Consider buying a farm produce "share"
Learn to forage native edibles in your area
Grow some portion of your own food supply
Learn to hunt, trap, & fish
