If you beleive that after the SHTF there is anyone other than first degree blood you can trust then you are in for a rude awakening. Bands of patriots, neighbors, etc will turn on you without hesitation. Like at the poker table.. if you don't know who the fish is then you are the fish. |
You make a good point.
When the SHTF, individual survival means everything.
At that point, patriots, neighbors, and I would seen in extreme situations even your own family will turn and attack. It’s simple human nature.
Not saying that humans aren’t capable of altruism and loyalty, of course they are; but you can’t eat loyalty or honor.
You can eat Fred. Or George. Or whomever. Or alternatively, kill them and take their stuff.
I take a fairly sanguine view of humanity. People will and do band together for the sake of ideal, and we’ve seen that throughout human history, from the American Revolution to the Battle of Thermopolye, from the Bolsheviks to the Nazis; right or wrong, people will cooperate when and idea is on the line.
Take the idea out of the picture, and replace it with raw human survival, then all bets are off. I would modify the headline to read, “It’s Entirely Possible That Nowhere On Earth Is A Safe Redoubt”.
You must be a city boy.
