First and foremost, you don’t need our permission to help out. These resources are set up so you can learn what you need to be more useful both on your own and as part of your local community.
We don’t have gold stars or volunteer sheets to give out. We’re not an organization with authority to say you did a good job.
As such, getting involved with the movement is more about getting involved outside of the movement, doing the things that the movement is meant to empower and inspire.
Even still, we want to help you put your best foot forward. Here are the first steps to breaking free of victimized citizenship and actually having an impact on your reality;
Turn On Your Damn Brain
The first step to becoming a reconstructivist is reconstructing your own perspective around your ability to provide real value, not just knowing and regurgitating the “correct” perspectives for clout.
While we’re happy to guide people who want to help humanity, the most important thing you can do is get out of this perspective where you need people to tell you how to be useful.
You have the ability to figure things out. You have the ability to recognize and solve problems without anyone ever knowing that a problem existed.
School and your job spent decades telling you it’s more important that you do what you’re told as consistently as possible. That doesn’t serve you as an individual or humanity as a whole.
We don’t have the centralized structure to constantly tell everyone what is best for them to be doing. You need to take responsibility for figuring shit out for yourself.
Get Involved With Real People
This is a movement based on human trust. We can discuss systems and codes and communication all day, but if we don’t trust people to both want to good and to be competent enough to succeed in their intentions, then we can’t get anywhere.
And while we all have likely found solace in various online communities over the years, it’s critical to have IRL contacts. Both for your psychological stability and safety and for the stability of any broader movement to support humanity.
