I talked to a friend (phone call) and a regular poster on Survivalist Boards this morning. He's very well informed of world events and the intricacies of many foreign governments and posts quite regularly on these subjects. Anyway our conversation dwelt mostly with conditions here in the US.
He has a friend (who I haven't met), that has not had much interest in survival who has now just announced (surprise) he is going to prepare for TEOTWAWKI. As the conversation progressed, I realized, at least for me, it has already happened.
I've been around a few years and if I had fallen asleep like Rip Van Winkle 25 years ago and woke up today, I wouldn't believe the world we have today. I do know that we have had far worse conditions throughout history, but in my long lifetime I've never seen anything close to what exists today.
When I see the news and listen to the woke views, drag shows in elementary school, possibly on the brink of WW III, race relations worse than I've ever seen them, fear of riots, school and neighborhood shootings, talk of civil war, counties that want to join other states, corrupt politicians, news reporters that flat out LIE, (they don't just slant the truth anymore, they LIE brazenly), food and merchandise scarcities, on and on. A looming recession/depression, droughts worldwide, starter homes in my area at $200,000, (how can young people get a start)? Homeless people on the streets begging, I could list more but I already have a run on sentences.
For me, the end of the world as I've know it is here. Hey and I'm an optimist.
I'm pretty well prepped but man, the future looks menacing.
