Sounds cushy, solid retirement plan. What could go wrong?

Do think some magic switch will cause full Somalian style lawless anarchy?
Rioters tend to loot cities, then suburbs, can't loot empty shelves and you can't eat money.
Rural communities are heavily armed and farmers control food production. Rural self-defense militias were raised in the American Revolution in order defend against the government and raise a serious revolutionary army to fight and win in full scale revolutionary war, not to police looters.
>Do think some magic switch will cause full Somalian style lawless anarchy?
Yes, it's called the electrical grid going down and staying down.
This. The power going out would cause some serious shit
we are trying to transition people to solar and direct current to make the happening less intense for them.
>Transitioning to DC
Rectifiers and inverters exist, anon.
Only crazies will do fantasy stuff like "Raiding" if the power went out for a month. And most will get shot immediately.
Who's we?
>Only crazies will do fantasy stuff like "Raiding" if the power went out for a month. And most will get shot immediately.
The biggest problem is that modern infrastructure depends on electricity. Water, fuel, food, etc. Without electricity, most or all of the production and delivery of these essentials would halt. At least until power can be restored, or systems are retrofitted to function without power. Which could easily be over a months time. People would go crazy when they start to starve or face death by dehydration
It would just be a FEMA relief type situation like anything else. No big deal
Depends on the scale. I'm going to assume that fema can't handle a nationwide grid collapse. They would probably focus on maintaining urban centers and hubs at that point. But like
mentioned, if shit does go down, its most likely going to be a localized event like katrina or moore county with gaps in utility service and patches of lawlessness
I believe on a national level, one month of lacking power would be sufficient to anger the american people against whoever cut the lights, but not enough to force them to fight each other.
This is something I fervently believe. A wide-ranging attempt at a "system collapse" insurgency targeting civilians and infrastructure would result in the ringleaders getting fished out of reservoirs with their throats slit, not a general uprising.
People would band together to get through it, like we always do. The minority group of thieves and saboteurs would be dealt with accordingly, as always.
Look me in the face and tell me you trust FEMA in an actual emergency and intend to rely on their efficiency and planning and only that.
And the crazies will thrive. Look at Somalia, you can either he absolutely dirt poor and barely scrape by, or you can join the crazies and actually have an okay life (in the given conditions).
>Yes, it's called the electrical grid going down and staying down.
Oh yeah? And who's gonna keep it down? Because people like modern civilization and will try and restore it before resorting to banditry.
Not that anon but my general idea for SHTF is something that keeps basic services down for like a month and people chimp out, like Katrina. It seems to take a short time for people to freak out about these things.
I don’t think we’ll get a full on years at a time societal breakdown (no electricity, gov, etc) worst case scenario seems like fall of USSR combined with Yugoslavia, where it’s more of a breakdown of rule of law than “the grid”
A lot of it depends on whether or not a large number of high-end transformers get trashed. Many of them take over a year to build, and most of them are built in places like China that can ignore environmental rules.
shit will never hit the fan because it already did
every day the facade grows thinner and thinner, more people live in poverty, everything costs more, your leaders continue to consolidate power, pass laws and work in the shadows to squeeze every last drop from you
you will, of course, never do anything, as did your forefathers
people didn't rebel against covid, they won't rebel against the mark of the beast
Join a Christian commune, it's the only way.
My forefathers fought in the American Revolutionary War and gave birth to this nation, you don't know me but you think you do.
and you lost the way, the religion that once inspired them has been all but lost
>doomers
yes, that's literally the point, christianity is a doomsday cult and if you want to be a real christian you should be ready to suffer, die or even be tortured in the most horrific ways imaginable for going against the grain.
>f you want to be a real christian you should be ready to suffer, die or even be tortured in the most horrific ways imaginable for going against the grain
t. ranjesh
>t. joseph seed
>christianity is a doomsday cult
if anything, its the one religion that ISN'T
So the Rapture and the extremely apocalyptic Book Of Revelations don't count as doomsday?
Of course, you might be refering to christianity being the only religion that don't tell you to prepare in any practical ways.
>the extremely apocalyptic Book Of Revelations
I can tell you've no idea what your talking about. It's not the "Book of a Revelations" it's the "Book of Revelation" also called the "Book of the Apocalypse" you redundant retard. You also have no idea of what "Apocalypse" means beyond pop culture. It means "unveiling" or "revealing" from the Greek "apokalupsis"
Stop being a Dunning-Kruger retard and don't post about thinks you have no knowledge of, it'd be less embarrassing.
Snarky and uncouth. Yep, you must be a true christian and no mistake about it.
I make no claims other than that you are a retard.
so, whats your religion then?
or are you gonna tell me you're an atheist?
I am no atheist. That would be to be spiritually blind, or neutered, or maybe both. I like to consider myself openminded. So far I have found something good and something bad in every religion I have looked at. And always someone trying to control others with it. So I will always question religion and always respect faith. After all, who cares which book you have read? You are judged by how you behave, not who you blame your actions on.
fair enough
>My forefathers fought in the American Revolutionary War and gave birth to this nation
dude same
lol
lmao, even
modern Internet christcucks are just doomers who don't even read their Bible
pathetic
They're so disconnected from Christ's teaching it borders on absurdity. They're utterly consumed with sin, their thoughts set solely on worldly things, violent and hateful men who reject love and want to fight and kill for an apostate church.
>Matthew 5:38-40
>“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.
A direct command from Jesus Christ means absolutely nothing to them because they are completely without faith. They're in for a real wakeup call.
>Matthew 7:21-23
>Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Or at least they would be if any of that bullshit was true, deep down they know it's not real, there's no loving god, no afterlife, this is all there is. They'll deny it with hollow words but their actions speak plain as day, they don't actually believe the bible is the holy word of god.
You have very surface level understanding of theology
You always love to see Christians adopting that israeli mode of worship that goes like,
>ok, YES, God did give us this very specific, direct command, but maybe we can employ some linguistic or philosophical trickery to avoid obeying him
You can just say you have no understanding of theology
What are you talking about? Everything is fine. Only unproductive people are struggling.
sounds good
>government collapses
Stopped reading there because it's never going to happen, idiot.
You'd show up at the rally point and either get organized by local government as just another helping hand or sent home to sit on your hands and wait for your relief handouts. Any attempt to turn into an independent organizer will get you shot under martial law. After a few weeks or months of struggle, society will adapt and a new normal will set in. If you were a nobody who sat around daydreaming before the crisis, you're a nobody who sits arpund daydreaming during the crisis.
This tbh. There will never be a straight up "breakdown of civilization" type collapse. Any collapse will be economic - mass poverty, breadlines, hyperinflation, etc. But the government will remain in operation and the military will maintain overall order. There may be increasing looting of stores and/or violent rioting (due to the nagger population, and by and large only in heavily nagger-populated areas), but not full on anarchy.
You should be preparing for the Weimar republic, not Mad Max.
I hope you know how to set up 24hr patrol.
Get in line with the other million people who have the same idea
If you aren't already a respected leader before the collapse you are the last person who can hope to become one after. Your stores of guns and gear will just make you a loot point.
>Be straight californian
>Literally me frfr
>Rape twinks while forcing them to kiss me on the cheek while I call them homosexuals for kissing me on the cheek
>Contract aids and monkey pox at the same time
>Fire toxic cum blasts at aggressors
>Watch as they melt into a toxic green glowing goo
>Build my sewer dweller empire and steal the dehydrated bean kibbles from taco bell locations
Without doubt the straightest californian, the yellowstone explosion can come soon enough.
If you don't have the networks of people in place before the fall you're already fucked.
It would probably be better to have a dedicated group beforehand, with the ability to consistently make their own food via farm, hunting, etc., then trying to convince a bunch of people to declare you leader as the world caves in. Remember, these people are going to be afraid, and pretty unstable. they may just decide to kill you and take your shit. Don't get me wrong, a considerable amount would likely die, but seeing as these are rural folks, everyone likely has some manner of firearm. though rural people will likely have a much greater sense of community, as well as being better off shtf-wise, which (at least compared to the cities) would put you in a safer spot mutiny-wise. Just saying, probably want to work on being a leader before civil collapse.
congrats anon, you just discovered feudalism.
Next step is calling yourself a king.
myself leader of the area
>and when he self identified we shot him
I like the future you paint.
its funny how in all the crisis and wars and recessions up till today this never happened, even once
You will most likely be shot in the head by some nog that thinks it's funny. You need to disappear from people as fast as possible if a full collapse happens. You dumb trannies romanticize it to the point that you think you'll be playing a video game instead of being shot at daily.
You think these retards actually know what they’re talking about? These are the guts trying to justify why they’er sitting on a pile of dry rotting gas masking and stale mre’s while fantasizing about nursing people because they can’t I go socializing
>recruit militia to help me protect people (pay them with food)
>declare myself leader of the area
they'll literally just shoot you in the back of the head once you turn around like says. You give people too much credit. In desperate situations, real depraved individuals stop withholding.
Misanthropy isn’t skepticism
