Selco, who lived through the Bosnian civil war, explains that there is an inflection point, and you must be sensitive to when that occurs. At that point, all bets are off.
I remember that one vaguely.
Rereading now.
“Things that I experienced in my case prior to SHTF, and things that you might recognize:
Things that make differences between people are more and more problematic (race, religion, political opinion).
Polarization is getting obviously stronger.
People want to come to your country, but they do not want to “assimilate” or contribute to the greater good. They want to preserve their way of life which is often absolutely contradictory to the way that your country (society) works.
The political way of solving those problems often fails, because, in essence, those problems are hard to solve in a democratic way (in the spirit of democracy).
Your freedoms are “shrinking” as a result of that.
Calls for “radical solutions“ for the problems are stronger and stronger.
The media is absolutely working a dirty job, and it is hard to find out what is the truth anymore.
Suddenly people and events from history are “brought back” so people can judge and argue about it, to write history again, to build myths sometimes”
Oh my. Every one of those boxes are ticked.
