    There’s a lot one can do. This is a nice starter:

    I would have framed a few things differently, so here’s my take:

    • The system thrives on fear and isolation of individuals. So, obviously, do not succumb to fear and apathy.

    • Be kind to your fellow humans (that includes people who believe the bullshit! Most of them aren’t evil just very misguided).

    • Offer help and look out for each other.

    • Get organized, don’t isolate yourself hidden behind your phone. There are organizations in which you can help a good cause and gain a network of trusted people in return.

    • Stay alert and aware of the situation.

    • Don’t assume safety just because you think you’re not the target right now. They start with the weakest ones but that’s just the beginning.

    • Plan ahead and have an escape plan ready just in case.
