Thanks for the post. I had heard that description before, but had forgotten it.
I kinda wish that folks here would rethink their “I’ll grow my own food and shoot all looters” philosophy. At the risk of repeating myself, it won’t work out that way.
If there is a national collapse to the extent that you’ll have to grow your own food, the looter you face won’t be some hobo just passing through or some punk looking to break your window and steal your TV set.
It will be thugs from urban areas, with guns and no morals.
It will be your neighbors, armed with rifles, driven half-crazy by the cries of their starving children at home.
It might even be rogue national guard units.
It is pure fantasy to believe that a family can prevail for any length of time in a world like that.
And no, I don’t have any alternatives... But neither am I going to let a fantasy go unchallenged.
