Am I the only one nervous about the state of our nation?

[vraiblonde]

With half of our country AND our government AND our utilities AND our tech companies gone Stalinist, AND pushing for war with Russia and China, I'm thrumming with this low level stress.

Being flat out lied to and fed propaganda by the Democrat controlled news media is alarming enough, but now they're calling for anyone outside the regime to be arrested and punished. And that's them, in their own words, right on their shows and on their Twitter accounts - that's not something anyone else is saying they said, it's them.

After 2020, our elections don't mean anything. The power structure can make the results be whatever they want.

Isn't anyone else stressed about this? Or should I be like, oh well, there's nothing I can do about it, and stop worrying?

I'm trying not to.

Buy precious metals.

Particularly steel, brass and lead.

You are not alone. I feel as if I've been dropped into an episode of Black Mirror, for you old people, it is a modern take on the Twilight Zone.

I think I will stock up on booze and smokes. Those things are always in high demand when things go South.

This is a real question:

Why?

My fiancé used to say this same thing - make sure you have plenty of ammo. He was always willing and prepared to go out in a blaze of glory.
(I can only imagine the conversations we would be having today)

That's the short version of : " I'm investing heavily in all the things that will have value and assist with survival after SHTF." It's an investment strategy I agree with.

Because if a collapse happens anything you have will be difficult to replace.

...and all the things you'll need but don't already have will prove difficult if not impossible to obtain. Think of "milk and TP" shortages on a global scale

The system will implode at some point, you need to be able to defend your self and survive or be a victim

 

[Gilligan]

It has been proven many times in modern history just how fragile is the "social fabric" that we rely on. Moral codes and civilized behavior disappear stunningly fast when people are faced with basic survival choices. Just read any history of the Holodomor..the devastating famines that Stalin inflicted on Ukraine in 1932-33 resulting in millions killed/died and animal behaviors by human beings that truly defy belief and description. Just one example of very many.

The potential causes of said implosion is a long list too....not all of which are "man caused". Or it could be triggered by a series of events, natural and man-caused both.

 

[GURPS]

Just read any history of the Holodomor

They were EATING the dead


During Mao's Great Revolution starving people were eating dead toddlers

yep. And in many cases eating those that they killed for food.
