Re: “But I have tried to avoid thinking about the reality of what is likely to happen over the next five to ten years, as this Crisis turns from rhetoric and debate to violence and death. Keyboard warriors will yield to real warriors.”Good article. The excerpt above touches upon an issue I've sometimes raised - namely, that while some understand things are quickly worsening and could get very, very ugly . . . few are doing much on a personal level to prepare for it. I've never been sure whether this is due to:
• Pollyanna syndrome where people think things will just work out if they're ignored
• A lack of conviction as to the cause and, therefore, what to do about it
• An inability to connect the dots and predict where they lead
• A philosophy of helplessness, that "there's nothing I can do so why try?"
• Treating it as a game. "We talk about starvation, mass casualties and killing one another, but it's just talk. Right?"
• Fear-induced paralysis
• Societal pressure to not be a DOOM AND GLOOMER or a PREPPER freak
• A childish belief that "I might fall but my mother [or somebody else] will always be there to pick me back up"
• A mentality that "I've heard dire predictions before and they never come to pass" (which is demonstrably wrong, btw)
There are other possibilities and the problem may be a blend of things. I do find it interesting that, with hard times ahead now being widely acknowledged, not many have lifted a finger to get ready for them. Indeed, it might be the libtards who have done the most. They're the ones installing the solar panels and buying the electric cars, right??
BTW, I don't think I've done enough either. Not nearly enough. I don't want to suggest that I have. But I *have* done enough to realize how difficult, depressing, time consuming, expensive and wasteful preparing can be. Worst of all, preparations are quite possibly futile (bullet #4).
It's an interesting situation.
