@cboyack Those who can and do perform tasks i.e. blue collar, ranching, farming, etc live with the consequences of their actions lean to the right.
Those who cannot i.e. teacher, artist, economist, etc are sheltered from their actions and lean to the left.
The old prepper rule was that you have 72 hours after a collapse before people turn on each other. Former intelligence officer Drew Miller told me that number is dead. He thinks it's now closer to 72 minutes.
When I asked him why, he gave me a figure I can't stop thinking about: the three million people who become marauders the moment the grid goes down. It's the one million known gang members. Two million more in jails.
Because as Miller puts it, you "cannot keep jails operating when the grid goes down" with no power and no guards willing to risk the safety of their own families.
In a real crisis, the gates holding the worst offenders from your neighborhoods are effectively flung open.
The police you'd call won't come either. They get pulled to guard elected officials, because the first priority of government is protecting government.
He says in a real pandemic like H5N1 bird flu, the collapse would happen with little warning – and implores us to stay prepared.
Everything they taught you about July 4th, 1776 is a lie.
The Redcoats weren't soldiers. They were something else.

In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work.
He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in.
Two years later, it was over. 🧵
Hi everybody. Welcome to the release of the second lecture from my extensive tour archives. We’ve been working together late at night when my symptoms recede enough so that I can finally concentrate to make this release a possibility.
At the same time recently, I've been able to write a little bit and I'm working on three essays at the moment, which I hope to finish and release in the near future. One deals with the climate lies propagated by the socialists and the leftists. Another deals with the issue of the alphabet mafia and the associated Pride movement. And the final one deals with the so-called “rape gangs” in the UK, asking whether the terminology “rape gang”, which is definitely an improvement over “grooming gang”, is sufficient to accurately describe the magnitude of the crimes that are being committed.
In any case, I'm working on these now, hoping to contribute something to the ongoing public debate about these crucially important issues. I'm unhappy with my silence, however necessitated it might be by the conditions of my illness. I would like to get back to.
Thanks for your time and attention. I hope you enjoy listening to this second lecture as much as I enjoyed delivering it.
This is the second lecture from the We Who Wrestle With God tour.
What does it mean that your God is whatever you put first? Why are the stories that grip you not false but hyper-real? Why is work identical to sacrifice, and what does that reveal about the nature of the covenantal relationship between humanity and the spirit of being? What happened when Cain offered his second rate effort and why is that same temptation available to every one of us in every decision we make? What is the story of Job really about? And what is the one promise that runs through the entire biblical corpus for those who are willing to offer their best?
These are not abstract questions. They are the questions that determine the structure of your life whether you answer them consciously or not.

Divorce lawyer James Sexton on why modern marriage feels unfair to men.
He says the man is expected to provide financially, protect, and be part of the family, all enforceable by the state. But the woman’s side (love, affection, sex, being a good mother) can’t be forced.
If he fails, he can go to jail. If she fails, nothing.
He told the story of an air traffic controller who lost his high-paying job due to anxiety after his mother died. The court still imputed his old salary for child support, leading to jail time when he couldn’t pay.
What’s your opinion, do you think the legal risks in marriage are unfairly stacked against men?
The gospel was made to be wings, not weight. If it’s dragging you down, something is off. It should help you live better, not leave you bitter.
Ask the faithful people you admire and trust to help you adjust your perspective. The Lord will speak to you through them.
To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.
I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.
I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.
One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”
It knocked me back.
I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”
I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.
That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.
I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.
I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.
People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.
I'll tell you why.
Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.
I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.
In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.
The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.
You just have to stop running.
