I am one of those people that do not spend a lot of time anymore trying to explain my world view to folks. I am neither interested in convincing them that they should seek education, nor am I investing my time showing others how to sustain themselves without help from the government. Many of the folks who read my periodic, semi-psychotic ranting know full well what is happening around us and need no further motivation to seek the truth of it all. One needs simply to step in to the alternative universe of Wal-Mart or the local Quickie-Mart and observe people for a bit to understand just how hard the coming collapse will hit a large portion of our society [such that it still is a “society” anymore]. Turn a full circle at Wally World and tell me how many slick hair, neck tattoo having, 2” ear gauge wearing hipster idiots do you see? How many ultra-obese, diet soda big gulping, scooter riding fat pig-bodies do you see? How about the wage slaves at the checkout counter……see any smiles? Does everyone seem to be merely tolerating their existence, or do they all seem to be happy and content with their lot in life?

Now get in your car and drive through your local neighborhood streets a bit. Are the other drivers courteous and observant or are they completely absorbed into themselves, talking on the phone, texting or jamming noise in their car so loud that they cannot possibly be completely aware of others on the street driving alongside them?

The liberal devolution of society is accelerating in my opinion, and the polarization of the country is deepening. The libtards at the wheel in our government are doing things like making the sharing of your Christian faith a criminal offense in the military. That’s right, share your faith in Jesus Christ and get a court martial. You just can’t make this shit up! The ultra liberal Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled Christians, Tea Party patriots, folks who mistrust the government and many others as hate groups, and the Department of Homeland Security has issued guidelines that label them domestic terrorists. Have we gone too far to recover it all? The mainstream media seems hell bent on helping the administration shove amnesty down our throats, all the way down to ignoring heinous crimes committed by illegal aliens. If we grant this amnesty, I’m afraid it’s lost forever. We will have granted legal status to tens of millions of irredentists that want nothing to do with our culture, language or laws; they only want the free shit our government is working so hard to give them against the will of the majority of Americans.

Rather than enforce the rule of fucking law, congress has spent the last four and a half years quibbling over everything except what is really important. The thieving bankers remain untouched. We have no budget and only operate on a “continuing resolution”, taking away any certainty or confidence. Nothing has been done about border control and laws in place to prevent the massive influx of Mexicans that is guaranteed to occur in conjunction with any amnesty passage are currently ignored. Border agents are routinely directed to release illegal immigrants on their personal recognizance. On what planet anyone thinks these people will actually self-deport or show up in court I do not know, but apparently DHS has full faith that they will. We are still wasting hundreds of billions of borrowed dollars fighting unnecessary wars in countries where we are no longer wanted, and spending billions more arming Libyans and Egyptians who both hate us, and are quite likely to turn those arms on us at a moments notice. Our venerable POTUS is on another apology tour to Mexico and Central America to reassure them that their violent drug gangs are a result of weapons they so easily purchased in the USA. What he fails to address is exactly how automatic weapons that are neither manufactured here or routinely sold here managed to come from here. He further fails to address that many thousands of illegal weapons are a direct result of our own Attorney General allowing weapons to be illegally purchased and smuggled back to Mexico using our own ATF as cover.

Our government is now openly flaunting the constitution and they seem to be getting away with it. The attorney general takes great pride in cock-blocking anyone with the temerity to question their antics, throwing the “executive privilege” blanket on everything that has the potential to embarrass the administration, and thwarting investigation at every step. It is now the outlaws in charge of government, and they know it. Wrong doing is dismissed because the law breakers control too much money and it could “destabilize the system”. Again, you just can’t make this shit up if you wanted to. Just when I think I have finally seen it all, they come up with something even more outrageous. Once the complete minimalization and emasculation of white middle class men is complete, the takeover is finished and they can begin to realize their socialist utopia.

So I sit here on this dreary, rainy Saturday contemplating what we face, and how to adapt. It all kind of makes me sad a little bit. I tell my daughter stories from when I was a kid, back when we left doors un-locked because there was no one in the neighborhood capable of breaking in to a neighbors home, and we left the keys in the car in case someone needed to borrow it while we weren’t using it. I explained about the old guy with three dozen apple trees that would pretend to be mad when we came and picked up ripe fallen apples, then go and get us a bag when we couldn’t carry them all. We talked about Halloween, with every kid in the town dressed up in some ridiculous costume or another, and every single house handing out candy and treats. Back then, the holy-grail was a candy apple rolled in chopped cashew or peanuts. What makes me saddest of all is hearing her say; ”I wish I could have grown up back then, it sounds so nice”. It kind of makes me want to move out to some rural community in Nebraska ro something.

I hope it is not as bad as I think I see it is.

Sorry about the rant.

Not sure that having meth labs for neighbors will really provide for a much better community. :paperbag:
 
I think there is some glimmer of hope given the way that the even the public in the West started buying like crazy on the dip, that people are becoming more aware of what is going on, and fast.

Local elections this week saw UKIP, (the most libetarian type party in the UK) come from nowhere to take a whopping 23% of the total vote, despite the msm media giving them little airtime and the main parties labelling them as clowns, fruitcakes and closet rascists.

Party enjoys biggest surge by fourth party since second world war

Nigel Farage -

“It’s a fascinating day for British politics. Something has changed here. I know that everyone would like to say that it's just a little short-term, stamp your feet protest - it isn’t. There’s something really fundamental that has happened here.
 
It's not as bad as you think it is. Yet

Sorry about the rant.

It is MUCH worse than what you see unfortunately. And, yes, I am very pessimistic for the near term.

Like they say, in the end WE WIN, but NOT without TERRIBLE and HORRENDOUS times first. What you see is just the CALM before the storm (though it may look like a storm now), not the storm rushing at us over the horizon.

There is NO HOPE for the future until America hits ABSOLUTE BOTTOM. Ancona, you and I may not live to see the bottom, but your daughter surely will. Hopefully, she is able to survive for the better days that are coming.
