A financial collapse is all but inevitable, although timing remains to be seen. A civil war between the authoritarian left and authoritarian right is not impossible. The government schools have succeeded admirably over the last 44 years in educating people to just bicker over different flavors of state supremacy and pretend it means freedom. I'm feeling quite "black-pilled" on all things political.

That said, at least America has a lot of guns, and people who just want to be left alone have access to large enough magazines to confront hordes of pillagers. I just hope enough of them can dislodge the boots they've been deep-throating.

I can get along with the commies who don't have delusions of political monopoly. I've met a few who favor voluntary associations and collectivism without coercing outsiders. But most want to be the technocratic elite.
