He might be right about a US collapse, but he's dead wrong about how the breakdown will fall out.

It won't divide into neat categories like he drew -- it'll be urban vs. rural, plain and simple.

There is another level to that “urban v rural” mindset.

It’s “elitist v individualist”.

The urbanites either want someone to take care of them and make their decisions for them or are the “someones” that want to make decisions for others. These are of the elitist mindset.

The rural mindset is more of an individualist mindset. Leave us alone to make our own decisions, good or bad, but they are our decisions to make.

For the most part, that is how I see it, except the suburban areas will be a bit “grey”. It may end up being the rather painful line between the two.

“it’ll be urban vs. rural, plain and simple.”
***

So suburban will be the grey area?

It is somewhat amazing that we all are seriously discussing/reading this.
