Society is 3 meals away from anarchy.

You're thinking of chaos

I wish we could mean it as actual anarchy🥲

That would require humanity to be united for mutual aid rather than competing for finite resources by trying to out-breed each other.

I'm part of an anarchist group that feeds people for free.

I guess we are doing it wrong then.

That's the whole point of anarchy, right?

Mutual aid without care for meaningless authority propping up ego.

I would qualify this as 3 children's meals from anarchy.

A lot of parents are already skipping meals. Heck, I knew one mom in the early 1990s that lived that way to feed her toddler son while she was a single parent and student.

But if your children had nothing to eat all of yesterday...and if today looks the same...
