GOD has no place in thought processes as you have been forsaken anyway. If GOD was present and loved your asses this would not occur darling children. Your kids would have pet unicorns that farted fruitty skittles for snacks. Flush out your helmets, and yes, prepare mentally and physically to smite others as the on the ground situations dictate. Hesitation is as lethal. Tier 5 / 6 is not time for weak hearts and limp wrists. The writing should be large on the wall by then and most folks won't have any antiquated compunctions about what is necessary. If you have not gamed this out and are skittish about thought of slitting the throat of the friendly neighborhood dog to feed your self and family well eat a bullet and save everyone your drama.

I'm speaking more of later on in the collapse, and not individually but in groups. Will Village B get too large and come after our crops in two years? Did they just lose half the crop to locusts? We might have to attack them before they attack us. That sort of thing. These are the hard choices that might seem like murder, but since your tribe has gods personal blessing and Village B does not, they are godless heathens and must die anyway. When done on a tribal level, these things seem natural. Done on an individual level they seem worse. But in reality, all posturing and excuses aside, no difference.

As an older guy when that light at the end of the tunnel gets dim we will start figuring out "end of life" stuff. It will depend on what level of SHTF we are at in 3 to 4 weeks. <br /> The more I read history the more I'm convinced that this will be a long span with many small to large falling off the waterfall events. We have now been in a multi-generational collapse. Before we get to no more power grid and no more guberment goons, (of course replaced by warlords) might be another generation.<br /> As you refer to often, I think the "we are going to rebild the goverment to our liking after the collapse" preppers are in Unicorn land. solarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003692871460203126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-59731047525076149432017-12-30T07:48:53.242-08:002017-12-30T07:48:53.242-08:00I don't think you can compare our military kil...I don't think you can compare our military killing proactively and a regular person. It can be argued that the military is sometimes (often?) sent into places where they don't belong under the orders of leaders with less than virtuous intentions for those troops. Additionally, the troops almost never have a full understanding of why they are there, they just follow orders, OR ELSE. They may have plausible deniability when they kill.<br /><br />The average person does not have that. Just because your neighbor isn't prepped so is a definite potential threat doesn't mean you can preemptively attack them. How do you know they won't off themselves or just curl up in their bed and quietly starve to death? You don't. If you proactively attack them, you are guilty of murder. If you don't get caught here on earth, you will be "caught" and judged before GOD, and nothing escapes His eyes. In other words, you have to have a short and long term perspective for taking actions like this.<br />Peace outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
