Were Antifa Protests Mad Max?
Black Lives Matter parades?
Travon Martin celebrations?
George Floyd remembrances?
How about the great Corona Toilet Paper, N-95 Mask and New Automobile Shortages?
Or the insurrection of Jan 6?

None of those qualify as Mad Max because there was no cannibalism evidenced . . . that we know of.
Abortions, well yea. Childhood gender reassignment, you know, OK. And plaque ridden people being sent to infect people in nursing home, kind of happened.

But no one actually ATE other people.

So no, not gonna be anything like Mad Max.

Grandpa used to tell me this story about you cook frogs. I think he was wrong
 

L.A.B.

Goodness before greatness.
The psychological conditioning through intense stress-fear-and guilt assigned mandates is leagues worse than going hungry for five days between food availability.

Taking a knee to roving Antifa while turning a street corner in a food line is more detrimental, than missing dinner that night.

Store food and kick @$$ as necessary.

Your submission is their mission. So strengthen your position. LOL! I’m starting to sound like a old SWR radio-guy from the 90’s.

Wait until the digital dollar is activated and the globalists will control every aspect of our lives.

Don't comply and you can't get food or gasoline.

It will be their ultimate power trip.

ETA: I just noticed that my bank upgraded its online site. I am now getting email alerts whenever $100 or more has been spent. The only other time a bank questioned a purchase was during the 2008 financial near meltdown.

All the withdrawals have been legitimate and made by me.

Gives a clue how fine as degree of oversight is coming.

The next step is their requiring approval before allowing the transaction to go though.

Only watched a few minutes of it and turned it off. So called ‘experts’ are a dime a dozen today. You prepare for a worst case scenario then pray and hope for something less than that. If you start off assuming that it won’t be as bad as many believe it causes you to slack off and take shortcuts.

I don’t know what God has planned for the U.S. and it’s inhabitants but I can read the scriptures and see to the extent he chastised nations that have gone before us falling into depravity. And I know that God is sovereign and can do as he wills but somehow I don’t think he is going to let us off the hook.

If the experts are right and it won’t be as bad as we think we haven’t lost much by preparing beforehand. If the current crop of experts are wrong (as usual) being prepared for a very rough ride ahead is wisdom I believe.

And maybe time for partition if there's no remission?

As always, good common sense.

If the stores who take EBT and alike suddenly can't get restocked because there simply is no stock.......

People will freak out, with in a week. By the end of a month, they will start eating each other, while pillaging the MAN.

The man is anyone who may have or does have stuff. Gated communities will be targeted big time. Custom homes with fancy fences, gates, etc... highly targeted... etc..

Generally speaking, gated communities aren't preppers.

Mad Max is just an erotic fantasy for a lot of people, including some so-called preppers/survivalists.

It may get to a timeline period that equates to pioneer years, or Great Depression years, or even pre-Colonial era for some sections of the country. We still have people living in those constructs today even without economic collapse. However, it will take a complete government collapse and significant die-off before we reach some of the those levels.

What I am concerned might happen is balkanization of the US with constant in-fighting which will leave us vulnerable to outside forces like China and Russia who will come in and steal what resources and assets we have remaining. What happens to all of those illegals and legal refugees at that point that are only here for the free-crap and economic bennies? They'll be pissed and take out their anger rather than return to where they come from and that will be another kind of war we are going to have to fight on our soil.

Mad Max? No. But it will be the psychological equivalent for some populations.

This is true and for the most part, but they are convenient and easy to assail. Those gated communities will be attacked first simply because they can. The preppers, generally, live further away from any big urban area and little bit more difficult to get to. Eventually, they will be "knocking" at your door, but it should give you time to beef up security and prepare for it.

There's folks already practicing and celebrating TEOTWAWKI

They're playing the EOTWAWKI. And that's about all they are doing. The fact that they have it up on youtube should be your first clue that they are living in fantasy land and won't know how to really operate without fuel, easy water, and internet connection.

Doz thanks for the link its been ages since we heard from Paul at GunsAmerica Digest. He explains in the video that his Prepping 101 blog he let fall to the side a bit as so many preppers started channels. But he still advocates for simple man preps of beans, rice, spam, armour sausages, tuna etc as ‘calorie per dollar’ for the strapped folk, elderly on fixed income and apt. dwellers.

He noted the pantry ready MRE type foods can be replicated at home with pasta and velveeta as opposed to a mylar pouch with macaroni and cheese powder. So his budget friendly message is welcome in these times. Its not gourmet livin but its a day’s ration. He was among the first along with George Ure at Urban Survival who went off on their own to advocate for preparedness. Some of these current YT preppers were still in 7th grade then.

Well Kathy, the world today seems to be playing at being civilized, so why not? At least they are getting a "taste" even if it's only playing at it. Even if only camping out in the middle of the desert for a weekend. Heck there's a lot of folks running around today that couldn't even do that....camp for a weekend. "WHAT NO ROOM SERVICE!?!" :hof:

One of the issues I had with him is his focus only on calories. To be sure beans, rice, pasta and all the cheap carbs will keep you alive for awhile but you will quickly have your body give out on you. Good nutrition is essential even during normal times in this toxic environment let alone during times of acute stress.

Cheap carbs are not going to supply the vitamins, minerals and proteins you need to repair damaged cells and maintain a healthy immune system. The calories only focus will quickly lead to malnutrition and susceptibility to disease and pestilence. That doesn’t mean you need 20K worth of freeze dried Mountain House (which isn’t the greatest nutrition either) but that is why you need a homestead if possible with the chickens, eggs and other meat animals.

Along with some beans and rice you need wheat berries which you grind yourself and immediately turn it into breads and muffins etc, utilizing both the bran and the germ (great for B type vitamins) and then putting away supplements in your preps that your not getting from the diet.

There are no quick shortcuts and while time yet remains to chip away at these things the best you can. When I heard him talk about the cheap caloric focus that is when I decided he really wasn’t going to add much to my focus.

YMMV

I muse that if power, water, etc...goes out that 99.% of soft Americans would freak out when they poop them selves and have no toilet paper much less a working toilet.

People be walking around with sewer pants. And blaming capitalist for all their ills.

I suspect when TSHTF, the zombie inner city hordes and the “new” illegal hood rats will not unite as a powerful aggressive force against white folk neighborhoods. These groups will likely be fighting among themselves, rather immediately, as they settle scores, compete for in-close home territory expansion, and attrit one another in the early days. Just their nature; genetic; unable to think strategically; fetal alcohol syndrome all grown up.

That will delay outgoing attacks, reduce their numbers and ammo, deplete fuel, dis-unite their groups, limit their potential range of expansion… for a while (days? weeks? months?). Eventually, strong warlords will emerge. They will likely have degrees of mil background and be quite a bit more intelligent than their followers and have some knowledge beyond the hood. But their efficiency and effectiveness will hopefully be limited, but that is nothing to rely upon.

They will initially rule 5-10 miles beyond city center. Suburbs will be easy picking as the majority of resisters who dare to remain will be weak and stupid. But this is where the groid will gain enough vehicles and fuel to push outward toward the countryside. This is where they will encounter warlords from the opposing side, with lots of firepower and supplies and intimate knowledge of the AO.

The hordes of color will likely not be the big threat. That will come from the multitude of rural warlords and their manpower followers, who evolve from protecting their communities to becoming local despots. Some regions will become like New England 1776; others more like Serbia or Lebanon

As stated by Hfcomms… nutritional supplements are critical. You will not make it when several diseases pop up due to vitamin deficiencies. Scurvy, rickets, and so much more.

Water stores and backup sources are most critical. We keep a few dozen of those blue plastic jugs. Half are filled and treated with a bit of clorox. Also two 30 gal bulk plastic barrels. We have two dug wells we can access by 12v water pump, backed up by bucket retrieval, plus nearby streams. Strict rationing and recycling increases capacity further. Strict sanitation rules.

Easy to assail? Uhh, gated communities are...gated.

In a Mad Max scenario, running off with someone's 105 inch TV isn't going to do much good.
