I have to wait till the food in my stomach settles so I can workout.
meanwhile...

How to survive a dystopia/the modern world & prepare for it (Mainly for the US and UK folk on this forum)
A dystopia is a shit world no matter why it appears or how. Now the first thing you NEED to understand is that a dystopia will be.
- Harder to live in than the current world
- Still easier than idk living in fucking 1400 cause modern medicine n shit

How would it be shittier than the current world?
(just some examples or the usual things)
- Combat : higher chance of police attacking innocents, higher change of people from "other tribes" attacking you, london chance to get mugged in places that aren't london you get the point.
- Surveillance : The gouvernment controls most payments,bank accounts, "free" markets etc. The gouvernment also sees what you do more.
- Everything turns into a concrete jungle.


(we are talking about something that MIGHT be possible, not some fantasy cyberpunk type scenario)

As for preparation, lets consider you are the average joe:
- Can't learn real dystopian skills like hacking
- Can't become a criminal (still low level theft or similar stuff like paying your taxes
is doable, just that you arent gonna be robbing banks or be a serial killer)
- Can't learn very intricate combat and don't have the balls/license to carry (Talking about real weapons here not a 3d printed glock)
This is what you should do BEFORE the world becomes dystopian, basically when you start feeling like it will pretty soon:

Surveillance and censorship: You should buy at least 2 years worth of a vpn that you can get without an account. (ex: Mullvad). Buy it with crypto.
You should get yourself access to as many types of crypto wallets that don't require KYC as possible. (ex: exodus but try getting as many) This website should help : https://tokyniq.com/. You should have AT least 2x the average monthly pay in your country in crypto on a KYCless wallet/platform.
Buy a new laptop, phone (google pixel which is gonna run graphene os)/older iphone . DONT ADD ANY ACCOUNT USED ON ANYTHING ELSE ON IT, and for data use MOBILE data from a esim you bought . One way to buy it would be here:https://www.blacktel.io/en/esim/global

Non virtual tech things to buy: As I said before, laptop and phone but we add a few things:
- Solar Powered powerbanks At least two/three. At least 10000 mah https://toughtested.com/collections/solar-chargers can get from here
- Crank powered powerbank At least one . At least 25000 mah. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/GOODaaa-Wire...g-Flashlights/dp/B0CN6CF43Z/ref=sr_1_3?sr=8-3

You might be thinking: This is a dystopia, not the end of the world. why get powerbanks? You never know when the gouvernment is gonna cut electricity.

Defense:
For defense there are gonna be a few levels: 1-fully legal/no way to get in trouble. 2: fully legal/kinda legal (to carry) 3:kinda legal/pushin it 4:Need license/balls to carry it.

Level one: As far as level one goes: Pepper spray or any kind of self defense spray you can carry that is small.
Level two: If you want something fully legal in any place in the world think a REALLY small blade, something like a keychain blade . Think something that is so small and compact you could have it in a court room and nobody would realize it. Another really safe thing would be a swiss army knife in most places.
Level three: Small 3 inch blade. Amazon
Level four: gun or blade over 5 inches.

.

Other usefull stuff: Data storage devices for old world things (uncensored movies, information , a local LLM model (locally run ai))
at least 5 tb
Survival things: survival kits, water cleansers like LifeStraw.
Old world commodities (which might be harder to get) : Stuff like skincare, technology that isnt controlled by the state or big tech, you get the point.

Now what should you be doing when you are actually living in the dystopia?
Move to a city that is either full of crime/crime opportunity or a place very fall from society.

City full of crime (think detroit / london ) PROS: - Easy access to crime stuff (buying weapons, selling crypto for cash , whores, etc)
- Easy to go under the radar because who is gonna care about a dude not paying taxes
on his 1000$ side hustle when there are mother fuckers killing each other everywhere
- Easy access to people who also do crime / dislike the system
Cons: higher chance to die
more surveillance
City very fall from society(think very small asian city in the middle of fuck nowhere)
PROS : Lower surveillance
Lower chance to be shot
Peace and quiet so you can build a solar power farm or something.
CONS: Not as much crime opportunity , harder to get stuff for crypto without using delivery services.


Congrats, if you have done all these, realistically , you would have a 60% higher chance to survive a dystopia and around a 70% happier life than those around you who will be controlled by the gouvernment (if they didn't prepare)
