I think you’re right. None of the “Wolverines” here on FR will do jack when the New Order is complete, because no one is willing to do what it takes to stop it. Standing up to the New Order in any meaningful way means getting wacoed — and no one here on FR has the guts to take it as far as the Branch Davidians did.
My strategy now is to stay alive until the system collapses on its own — and it will. Even the Soviet Union eventually caved. I intend to build my family into a fortress of Christianity and Reason and outlast the bastards. When it all comes crashing down I — or my descendants — will emerge from the rubble and play their parts in the great Reconstruction of the West.

I commend you for having a strategy to defend you and yours in the coming days. I also believe you are correct in assuming that a collapse WILL come. THe United States — at least the large portion of it that are the “productive,” will not long stand for or easily accept the Socialist system being foisted upon them as it is right now.
However, I don’t forsee most of those good people who love peace starting any kind of violence. I’m quite sure that’s not the way it would happen. But one large, jolting event could start the ball rolling — and none of us would be able to stop it. We are one major terrorist attack, one major economic collapse, one act of force against American Citizens, from seeing those good, productive people say “NO MORE!”
Ideally, a national “Atlas Shrugged” day would be ideal. Or, perhaps the citizens of a couple of dozen states reasserting their Tenth Amendment rights, and nullifying Unconstitutional Federal laws and withholding Federal Tax revenues on the State level.
Unfortunately, I don’t think it will be that “ideal.” The more likely scenario is an economic collapse that brings the “Have Nots” out in droves to the Suburbs and the countryside to loot and pillage. Or perhaps the Feds even ordering the “Haves” to “share” with the “Have Nots” in some way. Or, perhaps the aforementioned terrorist attack or maybe a “pandemic.”
In any of those cases, can you imagine the good, solid, productive Americans NOT defending their families and fortunes? Can you really see them roll over and play dead? Just shrug and accept their fate? Some maybe — but by NO means ALL. I would hazard a guess and say, not even MOST.
In Red Dawn, the “Wolverines” weren’t looking for a fight. They didn’t ASK for their enemies to take over and start shooting. But when they did, the Wolverines responded in kind. I think some of us, deep inside, retain that kind of fighting spirit, that kind of conviction and determination that we will NOT let them do this to our country. We may have to be provoked. THEY may draw first blood. But WE THE PEOPLE, like the fictional Wolverines, and like our nation’s Founders, WON’T meekly surrender. And if it does come to that, no fortress you build will be able to hide you from the fight that ensues. You’ll either be all in — or on your knees. That’s the nature of the coming battle.
