    What do you think happens to the security services when government fails, when the checks bounce or are not written?

    They extort, they steal, they run rackets. They have the heavy weaponry.

        The military will of course be king, Security Service is like Lords and Regional players, yay Neo feudalism with dystopian technology that previous tyrants could not dream of. We are so fucked unless we organize, yet we still fight under the Democrats which is just doomed to fail so fucking obviously at this point.

          This kind of feels like you waxing poetic about your apocalyptic fantasy, not really an insightful reply to my comment. I know of no less than FOUR people with 50 cal sniper rifles at my work place alone. None of them are “security” or military. Its not so cut and dry, and believe it or not, people actually like civilization. Things would be very different actually standing in the ruins of your town or city and having to rebuild. There’d be a lot less snooty mcshoot face and a lot more mutual aid. Thats just what people tend to do when faced with extreme hardship. Thats why society is an emergent property of the human condition, because we don’t favor tearing each other to shreds, we actually favor helping each other.

            Wow, you really don’t understand the way things are. Which is odd because it is quite in your face, do you even read the fucking news? Haha hahahaha. It’s not funny though. We are on the path to ruin, and you are sleepwalking into it believing people that tell you things are okay which by the way they fucking are not! Jesus fucking Christ.

              The US military is currently stomping its own dick as well as the rest of the government. I think you could really use this instead of doomscrolling some more.

                And do you think that changes the situation domestically? They are fixing elections, the opposition is weak about sold out, and in League with the super rich. I really do not know how I can continue without personally insulting you here.

                  What do you think this means? Why are my answers contradictory or insubstantial compared to what you expect? How does the global situation not effect the domestic one? I think you are working yourself up over nothing. What I am saying is not completely serious. The US will not collapse into ruined tribes. It is far more likely a military or another extremist coup will happen. Now if you wanna be all.pissed off and insult people thats on you.

                    A bully playing victim. You insult me then act offended when I respond.

                    Get your head out of whomever’s ass then get back to me.
