True, if I'm in NYC I see zombies-to-be everywhere and it makes my skin crawl. But others view it as inevitable that the USA itself is going to suffer catastrophic collapse, civil war, race war, communism, forced labor camps etc etc. If that's so, then the best bet is to abscond from the USA altogether, like Jews from Germany in the late-20s/early 30s. I know of a few who have done and I'm not entirely sure they're wrong. Because if it does come to that all of our preps are for nothing. urthshuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345449473467415176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-21161285465596050962017-08-30T15:03:30.644-07:002017-08-30T15:03:30.644-07:00I've seen NYC only once with my own eyes and i...I've seen NYC only once with my own eyes and it was at night, from 35,000 ft, flying from Ft Dix to Frankfurt Germany, Oct 1974.

I'm surprised to see it like you said, about half introverted and half extraverted, in my mind the divide was much more significant.<br /><br />http://www.statisticbrain.com/myers-briggs-statistics/<br /><br />The 75% - 25% divide is between Intuitives (N) and Sensors (S). Being N myself (INTP , to be precise), perhaps I have coloured my memory with a bias against S.<br /><br />Note, for instance, that SJ "guardians" are about half the population. Survivalist-wise, there is a lot of bad things we could say regarding Guardian personalities. If you want to identify who is:<br />- parroting "too Big To be Wrong" Yuppie-Survivalist blogs and their advertisment-based recommendations<br />- showing loyalty to the national rifle although it is at best a ripoff and at worst a bloody disaster<br />- glorify strength and badassery, especially over diplomacy or understanding the other side<br />- try even harder in the same mistakes after they failed<br />look primarily for Guardian personalities :)Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-31969656689137300262017-08-30T12:54:06.741-07:002017-08-30T12:54:06.741-07:00Okay, I hadn't looked at it this way.

It's like comparing bees to wasps.<br /><br />One guy I know lives in a village, has a large garden, a large photovoltaic array on his roof, is a very skilled craftsman by trade and is armed (which in Europe is no small feat).<br /><br />He's absolutely not a survivalist but he's a good example of all those people who are naturally well prepared, and then more than some dedicated survivalists. He's already way above any survivalist who considers bugging out.<br /><br />We were having a serious conversation with him and his wife, where we quickly established he could survive in terms of food and security. We were getting into the details, like using sun power to boil rainwater, when his wife (from middle class and urban origins) asked how they could get to town.<br /><br />The guy and I were surpised, we answered that they wouldn't need to go to town anymore, and it would quite probably prove impossible.<br /><br />She then flatly said "well then we might just as well kill ourselves, don't we ?"<br /><br />The perspective of not being able to go to town on a weekly basis was simply intolerable to her. No efforts of her husband or me could convince her otherwise.<br /><br />Of course after the collapse she will probably see it quite differently, but in the time before, when all critical decisions are made, she would always choose the wrong track. <br /><br />Remember that 75% people are extroverts, some extremeley so. Survivalists who are isolating themselves from the crowds are typically introverted, and thus always belonged to a minority.Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-62681498055348687862017-08-30T08:34:19.271-07:002017-08-30T08:34:19.271-07:00Here all the same dumasses select a known con arti...Here all the same dumasses select a known con artist, which as is known for bankruptcy and fraudulent behavior.
