It's Happening.

An hero hedge

Pretty good summary here.

The ever more immiserated schnooks who make up the former middle-class know that their lives are crumbling, and may feel that they’re subject to the utterly overwhelming forces of a cruel destiny generated by a leviathan state that hates and despises them.

And of course that is exactly why they turned to the Golden Golem of Greatness for salvation.

Alas, Mr. Trump has not constructed a coherent strategy for defeating the colossus of fakery that drives the nation ever-deeper toward the cold and dark. He has a talent for distraction and disruption, though, and so far that gave cover to a whole lot of other people in power who have been able to stand around with their hands in their pockets doing nothing about the sinking state of the nation.

Now, the vaudeville act is coming to a spectacular conclusion as the trappings of Halloween go back in the closet and the pulsating, LED-studded Santas go up on the rooftops. Every ceremony of American life seems drained of meaning now, including the machinations of government over the budget and taxes. The revolution to come out of this frozen swamp of irresponsibility will be the messiest and most incoherent in world history. Nobody will have any idea what is going on outside the geo-storm of failure.

About the only thing one can say for sure is that the American life which emerges from this maelstrom will not look a whole lot like what we’re living in today. I remain serenely convinced that when it finally passes, the air will be fresh again and the sun will shine, and a lot more people will know what is real and what is not.

Yeah, California, NY, Illinois; sucks to be you. :goteam:

The Walking Dead scenario: all weaklings & old people gone.

Since accomplishment means nothing to most people here, and money will collapse, the fantasy is that because I’m old, some young buck could take me on. The delusion being everything I got was due to White Male Priviledge. Well, let me assure any 30-something who thinks the lack of grey hair gives you the advantage when the police are gone, I will fucking own you.

Fight me

[Martin Hash]

Fight me

We are, right now. How do you think you’re doing?

[TheReal_ND]

I'm doing great grandpa. I just got back from the mountainside checking my traps and I have enough protein to last me all week. I'm trained in five different forms of martial arts and my pickup truck runs on diesel (human fat.) Bring on the economic melt down gramps I will drink your milk shake. LOL if only you knew half the survival skills that I learned in Boy Scouts then maybe you would see that this is no fair fight at all. Just give it up now old man. I am the new king of the wasteland even if you don't know it yet. Pray to your power grid gods they won't save you anymore soon.

[Martin Hash]

Be very careful I don’t stumble across you because what’s yours will become mine.

[TheReal_ND]

What's yours is mine already because you have too much privilege

(Almost made a Himmler joke but that’s a stretch even for this thread.)

Those homeless camps looked clean and full of dignity to be honest. I especially liked the relaxing international sounding music the go pro biker used. I was gonna donate to some homeless charity, but then I saw the new tents. I wasnt born yesterday. Nice try homeless people.
