Collapses don't have "breaking points", they reach maximum compression and then they stop.
Agree.
We need the turmoil to burst a lot of egos. People are so full of themselves that they have no room for God.
The field is about to be plowed to make room for the new.

Reading history makes one realize that it can, and has, happened everywhere. And worse. And every developed civilization has sincerely believed it couldn’t happen to them. The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history.
Pagan Rome ended its persecution of Christians across its empire in a moment by the edict of Milan through its once pagan Emperor - Constantine.
Israel, against impossible odds, became a nation in a day on May 14th 1948.
The Lord has the final say in the affairs of men and nations.
"Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying, “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before Me.”.....
Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, requiring a three-day journey. On the first day of his journey, Jonah set out into the city and proclaimed, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!” And the Ninevites believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least. When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let no man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink. Furthermore, let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and have everyone call out earnestly to God. Let each one turn from his evil ways and from the violence in his hands. Who knows? God may turn and relent; He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.” When God saw their actions—that they had turned from their evil ways—He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them."
The job of the Christian is to proclaim the gospel. The Lord has promised that His Word will not return void! Preach Christ! Preach Truth & Grace! Intercede for our children and the seed that follows them.
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." - Paul speaking in Ephesians 6:10-20
“ But see, we can’t just go through life constantly worrying about what TPTB might possibly do in every situation.” This is something most conservatives can’t seem to get through their heads.
“Maybe it’s time to grow a spine and just do what you need to do with locals in your area? Honestly, if people just want to constantly blackpill about maybes/might bes/could bes, then they should just sit down, shut up, sit in their pods, watch Netflix, and eat their bugs.”
This is, to me, likely what WILL happen if there’s to be trouble. People of like mind and determination will get together and damn the consequences. These probably won’t be anywhere near even ten percent of the right wing.
Yaddyyaddyya.same as it ever was
I’ve only gotten through half of this article so far, but I thought it was so well-done and aligns with what (Matt) you have been saying a long time now, that it is important to bring to your attentions.
Now wait just a minute there. How about those compassionate millionaire (billionaires) who take time out of their busy schedule to avoid a collapse? They all privately jet to Davos or some other exotic place (away from prying eyes) to discuss our future. They have nothing but good intentions for us. Telling us to cut back on resources and how to survive on bugs and other good survival skill stuff. They explain electricity is (or soon will be) scarce and to think about not using air conditioning. And giving up private vehicles. A person has to admire them for the sacrifices they do for our benefit.
Excellent article. He’s a good writer and I generally agree with what he wrote, unfortunately.
In case you’re interested.
Not to difficult to predict the consequences of (eventually) no fuel, empty Walmarts and grocery stores, non existent law enforcement and weak people.
tl;dr.
Anytime anyone blathers on like this guy does, it’s always best to go to the very end of his blatherings and look at his conclusion. And what does he conclude?
This: “So it’s probably best to be ready for any eventuality.”
So another words this guy doesn’t have a clue what’s going to happen. But he spends 10,000 words getting to this very point.
I just cut the same line and was prepared to make the same point!
Glad I scrolled down a little.

Its a fourth turning. History is seasonal and winter is upon us.
👍😉
Try to not drool all over yourself in excitement.
DeSantis wouldn’t and hasn’t been treated any better than Trump - if you’ve paid attention to the news in the last few years. Just as attacked and defamed in the media. He does, however, handle it better and doesn’t let it phase him or get under his skin. He counter punches just a hard with a smile on his face.
Bkmrk.
I agree with you. Recall how even Bush was severely demonized.
