State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Please! I have been hearing and reading about this since Y2K. The rusty Ferris Wheel just keeps turning. I will believe it when I see it.
I have to agree with you. FYI–there’s this guy who runs I believe ‘Survivalist Boards’ –and he is part of this quasi-religious-apocalyptic thing which deals with moving to the ‘redout,’ which is a region in Idaho, Montana–yada, yada. A survivalist region. He’s been chiming about this for a few decades as well. This guy in the video has become quite boring lately. Economically–these fools who run the Fed and US government can funny-up the money in a million ways to cover up their screwups. A full scale collapse, in the realm of the Weimar would bring this country into total chaos–and TPTB will see their ends very much like Mussolini. Sooooo–they will do endless slight of hands moves with the ponzi-chit system (US dollar) to keep their heads… and the average person is just too stupid to realize what is happening to them (including most conservatives).
Yea General, it comes down to assisted suicide by fed.gov but they cannot stop the collapse that I believe is why trump is offering the 5k to get out the vote.
While I feel the same frustration, this time we have rampant cost push inflation in virtually all necessities, we (the government and corporate assholes, that is) have pissed away all the margin inn the system to handle any kind of shock, and we are in a far more unstable place in terms of war and military capability than we’ve been in probably my entire lifetime of 50 some odd years. So, while I’m reluctant to make a specific prediction, this time real does feel different.
Some Data points Dweezil.
I decided to add another 5 gallon pail with lid of salt for the storage.
18 months ago, 26 ounces of Iodized or plain salt Walmart Brand was 29 cents. A 5 gallon bucket with lid was about 3 dollars. I have recipts.
I could fit 12 containers in it with room for other spices like black pepper and so on.
Today 26 ounces of plain or Iodized Walmart salt was 1.27 and the bucket plus lid was a bit over 5 dollars.
So, Walmart salt went up about 400% in 18 months.
Plastic bucket with lid was 66% higher. (Maybe my math is off?)
Don’t know about you friend but my wages even with bonuses didn’t go up better than 16 percent. I’m blessed that I’m twice retired and have part-time EMS employment I enjoy.
I could go on but when I see way too many folks visiting my food bank running on worn tires and I know where they work and the cut hours offered it hurts a bit.
Our MAG-Church helps with firewood donations and deer meat but only goes so far.
Folks are HURTING out there. Once lower middle class with savings are now showing up as working poor trying not to use Walmart’s “Aspire” buy now pay over 4 months plans at every terminal.
They have kicked that economic can down the road almost as long as you and I have been adults.
Nothing like a business fire to “accidently” destroy all the problems of a failing business.
I smell smoke.
Agreed. And I remain amazed that things are still holding together as it stands presently. It can’t take too much more pain to push it over the edge, considering where we are now.
Michael: I agree totally with your data points. I see it and my dear Idaho wife sees it every time she has made to monthly WINCO run over the last few years. I am still prepping and staying vigilant, as I know something will pop in 2027. The wild card will be the outcome of the midterms.
General “Buck” Turgedson’s take has also given me food for thought. It is in the interest of TPTB to keep a lid on things, so they and the rest of the elites do not end up like that Romanian strongman and his wife, or Benito and his mistress. So, I guess we who know better must just keep on keeping on. Bleib ubrig.
The ability of the ruling class to keep a lid on things is constrained not only by certain realities, but by the fact that they are increasingly a bunch of morons. They are part of the larger society that has lowered standards and eschewed competency and excellence, so their capabilities are proportionally diluted, just as with the diversity flunky working the fast food joint now, versus 25 years ago.
Objectively, we do not have intelligent people in positions of power, because the reflect the state of wider American society. Is someone like Trump at all comparable to even someone as recent as Ronald Reagan, who was a measured statesman by comparison. How about AOC? The towel headed bitch from Minnesota?
My point, by and large, is that the current ruling class doesn’t have the same juice to hold it all together under duress that we may have had here a few decades ago. They become ever more marginal in their characteristics and abilities, and their idiotic policies ever less effective. Do not count on their ability to continue throwing Hail Mary passes, eventually their best laid plans will fail.
It has been a hard path and a long time for us hearing the doomsday prophesies. Why is it different now?
Younger people are now seeing it. More importantly they are feeling it. Watch the US Treasurys, the wars in Ukraine and Iran, and the stock market for timing. The rest is mainly distractions. Like being paid by our own tax dollars to vote for the Republicans in the midterms.
David one of the Media propaganda schemes that worries me is the “Hate the Boomer” (add anybody better off than me here).
Remember that anti-boomer thread we had here a few weeks ago?
Affected our folks also. Mass Media propaganda has infested a lot of “Alt-Media” also.
Don’t want to be known as that “Evil HORDER” when the grocery store is empty.
The powers that BE will do ANYTHING to keep “We the People” divided and the Gov.com in a “better light”.
The Hate the Boomer division was unexpected. It seems to not have been effective as I have not seen much as its initial release. Who would have dreamed up a campaign where working class people succeeded in the American Dream? The concept of removing all hope for a better future and stealing from other people was as well thought out as the Bud Light transsexual campaign.
Hate the Boomer did seem to cool off as most Psyops do when the Mass Media stops pumping it.
Doesn’t mean it’s dead, just not pumped up today.
However, the same threat is there about folks “More Well Off that you” AKA better prepared for social-economic collapse DESCRIBED as “EVIL HORDERS starving our children (bs)).
Liberals know like racist, using “For the Children” and such is very effective power words.
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” — Joseph Goebbels
The Powers that Be depend on the Mass Media and lately even subverting the Alt-Media with paid for shills to keep “We the people” divided and the Gov.com looking better.
That’s why it’s not a bad thing to listen to the “enemy’s words” as they often signal their intents.
Grey man. Be the useful kind soul in the area, not easily ID’d as that horder.
