Quote HistoryQuoted: It's not nearly as bad. Source: am in Yugoslavia at the moment, for the last 28 years. Things in the US aren't NEARLY as bad as they could get. I mean, you saw all the fighting over TP, and compare that with having to ration vegetable oil, flour and anything edible in general. In '92, 2 of my grandpa's paychecks (as a Welder in a truck factory) put together could buy a bristle brush. Not even exaggerating, that is what they bough, so the story is retold in the family. I’m pretty sure I am at least 10 years older than you and you weren’t there to see it from beginning, and I don’t mean the first fired shots. I’m talking about that eerie feeling on your back when you feel something so unsettling. It’s here. It’s just wrapped up nicer in a present you can’t see yet. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Socialism is here. It’s over. It is now officially Govt.’s job to take care of people and enable them not to work. All this free money is going to take us into super inflation which I believe is happening right now. Prices are going through the roof, there is shit tons of hostility towards certain groups, coupled with massive number of riots and civil unrest by groups such as BLM. Hostility towards whites, conservatives and working class will drive this divide further. The gun control will take place this year. Courts are useless and compromised. The economy is about to take a hit, and we are about to give up world power status to China. You may not see it, but I do. The US is done. It’s going to take 3-4 years to fully see it, but it will happen. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Why's that? Socialism is here. It’s over.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah. Hindsight is obviously 20/20 (ugh, the year even) but if we’re dissecting this... it’s been brewing for probably 20+ years now, with a hard boil in the 8 years of 0bama and now his lackey just pulling out all the stops. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Pretty much because he was there when it all began to fall apart and he sees the same things happening here. Yes, I understood that part, but what tells is he basing it on? Open your eyes, man. Yup, and the sad part is it didn't have to be this way. Very sad.  Yeah. Hindsight is obviously 20/20 (ugh, the year even) but if we’re dissecting this... it’s been brewing for probably 20+ years now, with a hard boil in the 8 years of 0bama and now his lackey just pulling out all the stops. When I started working overseas I met some Eastern Europeans as well as some others who were starting to say the same thing and warning that it was going to happen if it wasn't shut down hard- but that we wouldn't have the backbone to look at history and do what needed to be done. They had a lot more to say, but it gets more depressing... It's one of the reasons why I've never minded living in other countries- it's one thing walking into a messed up situation, you pretty much know what you're getting, but it's another story watching your own country imploded and knowing there's nothing you can do about it. Those of you who still think this story has a happy ending I wish I shared your enthusiasm, but I don't.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, and we're considered the trash. We're not going to fight back, and those that do will be considered terrorists by many on this very site. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It's more like spring cleaning. At some point you have to clean up and take out the trash. Yeah, and we're considered the trash. We're not going to fight back, and those that do will be considered terrorists by many on this very site. Boomer conservatives stormed the US Capitol a few months ago and literally sent the federal government fleeing; it may have been tactically and strategically inept, but the heart was there. BTW don't blame it on an antifa op either (it largely wasn't) because demonizing everyone that takes action as infiltrators or lefties is part of the issue that you complain about. I hope OP is wrong, but to be fair the things we need to do to prevent the Yugo outcome are also the things that will help make it the least-bad scenario if it does. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok negative Nellie. No one will fight back with sentiments like that. You need more faith my friend. There is no way of knowing who will or won't do anything. The results are always surprising. Who gives a crap what the trolls and Fudds around an internet site think. I live in the world of facts and evidence of past events. If you look at the history and facts of what has already happened you will see what is coming in the future. I would like nothing more than for us to get our shit together and group up and fight back like BLM has, but we don't seem interested in fighting back. We're capitulating to the left, but we talk a good game. If anyone knows of a group of conservatives that are willing to walk the streets and fight back like BLM please let me know because I'd like to join them. We could still peacefully win back our nation, but we've actually got to fight for our country. As of yet I've not seen many willing to put it all on the line. |

Many things will be the same as the Yugo collapse and others will be different.
One example is most Europeans are much more culturally conditioned to "follow the rules" and that leads to a more docile population as long as any government is marginally functional. People in the US west and south are much more inclined to exhibit individual action - cajun navy and after disasters people are about helping neighbors. Urban hell holes wait for the government to rescue them. |
