The average fatso can make it to the next season just fine on his body fat.

I think you might want to look into that more.

Man fasted for 392 days to save his life from obesity.

I am not saying everybody can do this like he did, but people can ration what food is available and eat what food they can scavange. Worst case, SHTF after the autumn harvest. People are looking at a year before they can eat food they produced themselves post-SHFT.

It's not difficult to triage food either. A township can lock down the grocery stores and warehouse what food is nonperishable. Start distributing that food to people based on their body fat and age. People with little body fat obviously need food. How many people do you see every day below 10% body fat. though?

I really think people would survive better than a lot of doomsday preppers believe.

And I just got home from Wallyworld. Don't even try to snow me with stories about how most of these people will starve to death (the won't).

People believe the Fallout series type of mentality, even with that kind of mentality, I honestly don't think even if something like that happened, the world population would be so bad off. It would be devastated don't get me wrong, but if enough people survived and got together to work together, I don't think we'd see a Fallout kind of situation, or even a Mad Max one, I think we'd be thrown back to the 16th/17th centuries... but those that do come out of it would be a lot better off than we are now.

[Speaker to Animals]

That's just it, though. It would take more than a food disruption to get to that point. People can organize and grow food. There's about a year of time in which food is not available, but there exists plenty of nonperishable food stocks accumulated everywhere to feed people.

The bigger risk is from violence, which for the most part is a liberal problem (both before and after SHTF). That's what the cities have to deal with. Sure, cutting the food off to a city is probably no different than just nuking the fucking thing in slow motion. But the rest of us would make it out okay. I am not saying there wouldn't be casualties or suffering. I am just saying the idea that most people are going to starve to death within a year in some kind of One Second After scenario is not realistic.

The more interesting problem to my mind is how to deal with all the liberal city dwellers who march out in large numbers like locusts. There's no way communities can accommodate them, and they are likely to get very violent. I'd imagine swarms of them would travel southward and cause a lot of trouble before communities had to kill most of them off in self-defense. We are still dealing with the problem of how to protect ourselves from liberals, but the problem is a bit worse in that those people can carry on for a long, long time. Much longer than a lot of preppers imagine. Most preppers assume the liberals will mostly have died out within a month or two. That's just not true.

[Speaker to Animals]

Just imagine the average liberal's mentality a few months into SHTF.





That's how they are now. Imagine them after a month of no food when they are desperate.

[SuburbanFarmer]

Yes, all of those God-fearing country folk would just stick to the trailers with their arsenal and leave the neighbors alone.

Regarding the 1-year starvation plan, what do you suppose the millions of us with kids will do? Or elderly parents? Or disabled relatives? Your hypothesis works for middle-aged and young healthy/obese people, but how much Dickens have you read?

Well, if a liberal ever comes my way, the first one gets killed, the 2nd will be fed by the first... or join. I have no problem with them cannibalizing each other since that is what they are attempting to do already.

He and I have already stated how it would work out, there would be a loss of life, quite a bit of it. but those who survive will do so, and probably continue to do so. I already have plans in place if something happened like that for my family.

Where did all the the apocaliptic talk come from?

AI? Muni-bond market crash? WWIII?

Oh just like comparing Republicans to Hitler and Nazis, conversations like this go to apocalypse talk in due time.
