I can’t agree with your statement that widespread rioting in America would necessarily require or produce a worldwide collapse of civilization.
>>I can’t agree with your statement that widespread rioting in America would necessarily require or produce a worldwide collapse of civilization.<<
So a small problem of a few days MIGHT break out in your area (none of the riots were in places where people have 1/2 acres for a garden) and thus you think it wise to construct your entire life around preparing for one? You might notice NONE of these happened throughout the country at the same time.
And that isn’t what the OP says to plan for...
Your seeds, your gold, your risk analysis. YMMV.
I cannot understand the relevance of these small localized riots you listed with a economic disruption? I don’t think anyone on this thread is talking about a race riot??
Check out what happened to the middle class in Argentina over the last decade. It wasn’t a cholo riot my friend.
