Your best defense is having good neighbors. Bad neighbors will make your life very difficult if things go down the terlet.
Totally agree with the good neighbors. I extend that to a community that is good and works together as one.
The most important thing is to gain understanding of the greater picture and rise above the emotional fray. This is why the Bible teachings are critically important in this upcoming turmoil.
Bad neighbors will disappear early on. The same thing will likely happen to those known to be very leftist and with a high likelihood of snitching in order to curry favor with governmental types.
Good neighbors are overrated. People change once the SHTF. The only people you can mostly rely on will be family and to a lesser extent close-knit communities who are held together by shared religion and ideology.
Yah, I am seriously considering adopting so my descendants can have a little clan for support once western civilization has fallen and the muhammedans usher in a new dark age...
There is much truth in that.
