In my wildest nightmares throughout my life, I’d have never imagined the depths to which this collective citizenry has fallen. Everything you say, and more, is completely true.

Our Constitutional Republic was fought for and won by freedom loving patriots. The framers of its Constitution were inspired by God, I believe. If there is a fault with it, the sole weakness of it is that its defense and execution depends on honest men and women.

It seems that the other side of evil has won. They control our courts, our legislatures, our Presidency, our Media, our entertainment and our social discourse. Even our children have come to believe fundamental socialist principles and ‘popular trends’. They have no idea about human greed, sloth and the realities of the human condition.

Frankly, I think this experiment is essentially done. It can’t revive itself - it doesn’t want to. They all just think their utopian views of the collective will endure if they just “don’t be hatin’”.

My only question now is whether it will become just another anarchy after one of many potentials for collapse happens or whether it will become just like another South American Dictatorship.

The best case scenario (and it's not real terrific) is if the global and national structures crumble while there are still people around with the integrity and skills to create islands where civilization endures. Us older folk are going to have to contribute what we can and besides that be prepared for a very long ride.

I see a world just a few years out where travel is impossible, it'll only be safe to leave ones house for basic errands for very short safe periods of time, and where disruptions make it impossible to acquire basic needs. I honestly don't know where it's safe to move for tong-term potential. Might as well stay in place and have at least some assets if a move becomes necessary.

It's no longer reversible.

This is what happens when we raise a generation that believes they are entitled to all the free time they want. When enough people stop working - stop producing - and expect "the government" to pay for their idle time, there won't be enough "government money" to pay for everyone.

Next, they will plunder the lifetime savings of you and me. And then there is nothing left.

Imagine the Aesop fable of the grasshopper and the ant. Only this time, imagine that the grasshopper gets a thousand of his friends to raid the ant's stockpile.
