I’m just finished with feeling bad/sorry for people that revel in hating me and everything I believe in. so screw them. It now works both ways. they enjoyed mocking me and those like me for standing for principle and what America represented until about the 60s, then I will laugh in their faces when the shoe is on the other foot.
All kidding aside, I fully believe we are headed to a Road Warrior scenario. And in that scenario I’m toast. But plenty of people will survive it. Plenty of us and plenty of them.
The difference is that while we are sorting out who we can trust and working to rebuild, ‘they’ will be either enslaving the weakest amongst them for labor/sex, killing each other for the scraps (since they lack skills most of us possess like farming/camping/mechanical/construction ect) or both.
There are a few of us that joke around about the Fallout video game but it’s not all a joke/fantasy. We have the very recent examples of Bosnia, Libya and Egypt to guide us as to what happens, and how fast, when society breaks down.
And every time you look back over history, the strong prey on the weak unless some form of morality guides them. My particular form says actions have consequences and stupid is it’s own reward. They made their bed so they can sleep in it.
Because I know if I survive I will sleep well knowing they get to experience the full measure of their worldview.
I view the Fallout series as a kind of virtual training tool from the aspect of what to expect in terms of behavioral and cultural norms that will be confronted in such a post apocalyptic scenario. It puts you in the mindset of what it will take to survive in that setting.
You Mean Half the Country will try and rebuild our Republic, clinging to old world values of Democracy and the Rule of Law?
Sounds like those two groups can't peacefully coexist.
