Don’t be scurred.
Unless you see ZOMBIES

What do you mean, “unless I see Zombies?” I’m already seeing them...they’re massing inside the WH!!!
And I’m still “scurred”
Thank you, dear. :)
Pass the shotgun.
Well, the second.
The first was the "peak oil" bullshit.
There is more oil or oil equivalents than the whole 6 billion can use in our lifetimes, even if everyone consumed like a US citizen, in the coal, natural gas, and shale oil deposits in North America.
And then we have the next-generation nuclear reactors which convert Thorium into fuel.
And he forgets the core of Christians in the US, and the self-reliant culture...we do not have a cultural history of 70 years of gulags and corrupt apparatichiks...at least outside of big cities in Blue States...
Cheers! Cheers!
Find it later BTTT
save for later
Aw hell.
Pass the shotgun

Here baby!
Zombies are not edible unless pureed.
Very good read.
This is a highly debatable proposition. A native Russian observing the commercialization and generalization of American cultural values through these channels might be forgiven for his mistake, but he may, in fact, be very, very wrong on this point.
There is a set of "values of the forum" that is older than Babylon, and they aren't hard to detect in operation on the American scene -- putting prices on life, for example, as in the case of abortion, setting "limits" (triage and rationing, assisted-suicide debates, ethical proposals concerning passive and active euthanasia) to socialized medical care, and so on -- but many "commercial" values are in fact intrinsically American and reflect the commercial world's adaptation to American customers.
Ergo, the author's insistence that social and cultural collapse are imminent or underway, may be very much mistaken, particularly since evaluating his statement -- as well as making such a statement -- requires somehow standing apart from a social experiment which one is observing from inside the experimental vessel.
I hereby coin the term ZOOMBIETM.
Well played.
I sped read to here.."Aside from the big government programs, there is little available in the US to help those in need. Again, Americans make a big show of their philanthropy, but, compared to other developed countries, they are in fact quite stingy when it comes to helping those in need.
And quit...because I think that is a total lie.
Maybe I missed some of the authors good points...but IF he can't get that right...Why should I read more closely?
The author has some good points. but he overlooks the fact that the US has lots of oil that we can drill for and in addition to oil we have coal which is a good energy source.
What happens when we can’t get parts for foreign machines - we make our own. Just like we used to. Americans were handy and still are.
Hopefully, we will have enough sense to band together as we did in the frontier days and keep the wheels turning.
Economic collapse is certainly underway. Complete financial collapse has been temporarily slowed down due to the massive printing of money and the seeming willingness of virtually every other country including China. I don’t think the author counted upon the virtual destruction of fiat currencies by every in the world. The question is how will the country stay together when the dollar becomes worthless or nearly worthless. If you listen to Gerald Celente he is predicting that our cities will become mini-Mexico Cities with daily kidnappings, out of control crime etc. Its hard to fathom such a situation in the USA, but our system has become more and more fragile.
