(And How It May Be a Lot Different Than Folks Expect)
Loved THIS ARTICLE by Daisy Luther in Organic Prepper
Long and short of it was that in the USA, we should not expect a climactic whoosh bang collapse of everything so that everyone dies by the millions in a few months. Instead, Luther says we should think of it like a tire going flat, with air slowly escaping and things just looking like they are harder and harder. This is bad, in that it gives statist fools the ammo, and credibility to "fix" things by more of the same stuff, will create incentives to stir up wars to blame the foreign "enemies" and thus distract us (which may in fact lead to a more catastrophic collapse). It is interesting to consider that Venezuela and Zimbabwe did not collapse "overnight" but sank deeper and deeper to state miasma. In Venezuela, it is so desperate that the folks from the cities have begun roaming the countrysides with an agenda born of starvation and desperation. This is tragic, as I remember Venezuela as the gem of South America, with a lifestyle so superior to all the rest of South America (except for Chile). It was where the up and coming Latino professionals went to find careers in engineering, sales, accounting....., and trades.
Hard to think of us that way, but it is a possibility.
Anyway, the collapse may not come with a bang and a clash, but a series of setbacks.
The website is a good one if you like rational, thoughtful cultural and prepper analysis.
