Prepping?

"social order... white race... more taxed..." Connect the dots.

(God I hope you were actually joking and not defending that comment)

no not defending that comment specifically however he is correct in the statistical fact of
( lets say it more appropriately) persons of Caucasian descent.
The actual fact of the matter is there is surprisingly little between the different races at the DNA levels. There is much more disparity between say many members of the canine genus .
I hope I'm being appropriately articulate ( still suffering from daylight savings time lag.)

his comments concerning social order and taxes are way off base IMO

The declining birth rate of the white race (as you have it) is due to the more advanced role that women have in society. Meaning as in advanced countries women are more likely to be in the work force and not home making babies. Further, the need for many children to make sure some survive and take care of you in your old age is no longer a factor. This is not a "white" issue, Japan is having the same issue. I think the Japanese government has a dating site to get young people to hook up and get "busy".

Also economics. Kids are expensive to run and we don't require them to look after us in our old age.

I chose to have none as I wanted to retire early and a kid isn't good financial planning. Most of my friends have none, one or two that's it. Kids are not logical choice if thinking economically.

White man is getting bred out, we are actively participating in this form of natural selection, I'm an active participant.

I think my vasectomy cost approx $270 in 2000, ROI?..... HUGE!!!

Race is just as much an artificial, social construct as is nationality, no real basis in objective genetics.

And the sooner we all reduce our birth rates and create economic systems that don't require ever-expanding growth, the more likely we can avoid the extreme catastrophes preppers keep predicting.

I truly respect the sentiment, but there are unfortunately few examples in history where true multiculturalism existed in a constructive manner (with those periods flanked by bloodshed). As much as I desire a Star Trek future like the next guy, the only thing I see driving us in that direction is the global phenomenon where everyone under age 22 shares the same lack of cultural identity and ambition, permanently hunched over an electric device.

We are already in a relatively non-scarcity economy. The problem is that a lot of people are not satisfied receiving their portion of the gross world product that looks currently to be around $17,000 (I admit that I am one of them).

Go through a major hurricane. Then look around. It's very easy to identify the people who planned and prepared to take care of themselves in a disaster, and those whose plan was to hope someone else would come in and take care of them.

[john61ct]

Well, preparing for a relatively likely and specific type of disaster is one thing.

It doesn't disrupt living a normal life, assuming you have the disposable income.

But that isn't what most of us visualize when "preppers" talk about the more general collapse of society's fragile supply chains.

The thing that stuck with me, after Katrina, was how different it would be in a disaster where several other cities or locales were affected at the same time, with no cavalry riding to the rescue. The first week was pure hell. No water, no food, no power, no law enforcement, no gasoline, no hospitals.

Imaging that continuing on for months was what made me first decide that maybe the "preppers" weren't the crazy ones, as much as the "I can't contemplate a disaster of that magnitude, therefore it can't happen, and I shouldn't worry about it" crowd.

Perhaps... but overall, what's the better "prepping" strategy - simply amassing a store of stuff, or working with others to ensure that your community and by extension your country have the resilience and resources to manage catastrophe? Not to mention the wisdom to keep out of self-made trouble.

(Correct answer is, of course, do both)
