Lots of retired military, lots of JSOC guys in my area.
Lots of potential War Lords

Re: Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance
The most dangerous part is between SHTF and actual warlord - the bandit gangs.

Re: Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance
I'm generally not worried about JWRs golden horde of bandit raiders. Historically, rarely happens. Thieves yes, opportunists, but name me the war Lords of the great depression.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 4:54 pmThe most dangerous part is between SHTF and actual warlord - the bandit gangs.

Today they’re known as the gangsters of the roaring 20s. Capone, Meyer, etc. The state only maintained control by arming the tax collectors.C-Mag wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 8:19 amI'm generally not worried about JWRs golden horde of bandit raiders.

Hell, in coal country, the companies had private armies and their own law systems.
Further back in the 1890s, they were the robber barons of the west. Again, private armies, and no state control.

Regulators!
Let's ride !
I'm into it

I've followed James Howard Kuntsler's Clusterfuck Nation blog for quite a few years. He's predicted the long emergency for 20 years, now says we're deeply into it. The long emergency is about the collapse of complex society and infrastructure. He's worth reading or listening to.

Re: Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance
I almost wonder, though, if the government as we know it now collapses, would it really? Would we just see the government become small and take care of what needed to be taken care of so SHTF really won't be nukes getting out, etc...C-Mag wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 12:42 pmI've followed James Howard Kuntsler's Clusterfuck Nation blog for quite a few years.

I almost wonder if we need a partial collapse to realign everything once more back to where the people have control and the government is there for it's original purpose?

Re: Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance
Kuntsler Cast on Small Farming and why we must save it.
https://kunstler.com/podcast/kunstlerca ... -republic/
Small Farmers are early adopters. They will be well positioned when our complex society collapses under the weight of the stupidity of our elite caste that arrogantly think they can put legally stupid people at the head of our leadership. And that's what they've done, whether it's incompetent geriatrics or clinically stupid from Harris to Fetterman to AOC.
