When they drop the Optics...
There are millions of clever, self-interested people who will work daily to push Implosion into the future...
These are two points I have repeated time and again. The recent floating of the "Trillion dollar coin" idea by "serious economists" reveals that even the most clever folks are running out of moves.
Indeed, as has been illustrated many times by folks like Denninger, .Gov simply cannot stop printing or borrowing and dumping that "money" into the population or the immediate economic contraction would reveal the truth to even the dumbest among us, and implosion would be nearly immediate. The detonations would be from sea to shining sea and border to border as the digital flow of funds stopped and the paper in your billfold will no longer be accepted in trade for chicken or gasoline or firewood.
Such an Implosion (call it a Reset) will sort itself out. But as part of any such sorting out, it will be required by Nature that those members of the Herd who do not help the herd, shall be culled. Nature will see to this culling through many avenues, from man-on-man violence for limited resources to starvation for those who cannot produce, to disease for those who cannot remain healthy enough to strive.
Nature insists upon balance and order, regardless of how we silly bipeds continue to try to re-write the fundamental Rules of Existence.
Harsh, perhaps. These aren't my Rules, I just live here.
Given what you see and what you know, are you seriously still trying to find a way to win the Heart or Mind of that guy in the next cubicle? Are you seriously still looking for an argument - a tool of Reason - to win the 2A debate? Are you seriously still uncertain of who is, and is not, Friend or Foe?
Better to use whatever time remains to find a few people who think like you think and begin to stand back-to-back.
There is a North Star to follow through this coming storm. Many of us see it, and know it.
Keep your eye on the DoI, the Constitution and BoR and follow that light through the coming darkness, and not only will more of us live, the pain will be shorter and the benefits for our posterity greater.
No matter how dark or grim it may seem, know in your heart and see it in your mind, remind yourself that Men were able to embody those ideals in a framework for themselves. We can return to that place. It will not be cheap. It will not be easy. It will not be a journey we all survive.
We do not always get to choose what storms will cross our paths in life.
We all choose how we will meet the storms of our life.
