It seems like nobody has free time, they're too busy working and/or raising a family. (Maybe I'll just not have kids.) So how do you find the time to do something good, like gather people for a revolution or get your town to meshnet?

A few of my friends are illegalists / antiwork, e.g. trimming weed or doing sex work, and usually that helps them have free time.
Other friends try to find a way to work doing something they're good at that can be helpful, like academia, or community gardens.

Well pretty much these are your options:
- Marry into the top of the social/economic political structure
- Become so sick, you qualify for disability, then scrape your way along the bottom of the social/economic political structure
Once you have accomplished that, you now have the resource: *Time
One of six aspects necessary to actually change anything.

I'm still waiting on a UBI to fund my revolutionary activities. Haha.
Seriously though, you have to make certain sacrifices. Learn to live cheaply. I worked in IT 40 to 60 hours a week. Absolutely miserable, but the pay was good. I left that job and started a market garden/farm with a friend. I do that during the day and at night I work 20 hrs a week dispatching for a mom and pop restaurant delivery service that respects me and my politics though theyre silly liberals. I still find time to do food not bombs and other things every now and then, plus donate my overages to them. I would like to do more, like a guerrilla Cafe/restaurant weekly, best community building direct action tactic I've ever been part of in the past. Bartering and scavengimg goes a long way as well. Half of our veggies from the farm are traded for everything from booze to labor to massages, which every farmer knows the value of a good massage.
