… it’s a community working together …
In the economic shit storm / breakdown of law and order, that community will need to be able to protect themselves from the have not’s, the gangs, other armed groups, who find it easier to take from the community than put in the effort to work for their own.
The question is how well organised / armed the community is / will have to become to defend and keep their own, when a large armed group descends on their community to take what they want, by force, the food, shelter, fuel and sadly woman.
For a community, to kill another human being, is not as easy as it seems in the movies. Even worse if that person is a fellow countryman / woman.
Another part, one that irks me quite a bit, is the following scenario:
Family 1: Dad, Mom, 2 kids are desperate, they work hard and make a plan to survive.
Along comes Family 2: Dad, Mom and 2 kids. They are also desperate and hungry.
Family one the Haves, Family 2 the Have Nots.
Family 2 look at each other, desperate and hungry, saying to each other that their kids are starving, therefor they have the “right” to take what they need to protect their family, asking forgiveness afterwards / justifying their actions, because Family 1 does not want to share, could not share what little they had left.
Not joining forces, forming a community (Unity Creates Power), no, take with force that what you need (here the irk part) as YOUR desperate family is worth more than the next persons desperate family.
This is the level one needs to be prepared for too, the part where it gets downright ugly. How would one resolved these conflict situations, as it seldom gets discussed, shared. More like “Can I shoot them now?” (aka Fiona in Burn Notice). 🙂
And arguing survival of the fittest, that does not work so well for humans. In the animal world it works yes, in human terms the most ruthless tend to excel in dire circumstance, not the woman, children, Dr’s, engineers, farmers, as they are too busy sorting things out whilst surviving.
