The government wait for things to go completely to shit, then they round up those left and provide them with food/water.

Those left end up either praising the government or are left to die.

If you aren't self sufficient you will starve to death. Good news is is that it's piss easy to raise chickens and you can do it on the roof of a city apartment complex. You get eggs and chickens for free as long as you don't eat all your layers.

Look at Flint and plan accordingly. Did you really trust your life and livelihood to the retards and sociopaths in government?

>>17832198
How can anyone survive on that? Also what happens to old and sick people (if they aren't killed by the coronavirus first)? I feel like we're headed for really dark times.

>>17832143
A depression today would look vastly different than it did in the 30s. But most likely the people getting fucked the hardest would be unskilled labor, and even skilled labor is going to have a hell of a time finding a job. Also, a ton of boomers will get the worst of this since their wealth is tied up in assets that are on the verge of collapse. There weren't even close to as many people over the age of 60 back in the late 20s as there are today.

I think the people that will fair the best, but still struggle are skilled workers in their late 20s to late 40s. Zoomers are going to have it hard, but boomers are getting the brunt of the depression if it happens.

retarded city slicker thinks he's going to make it lmao

>>17832243
>what happens to old and sick people
They die.

>>17832243
How can you survive on eggs and chickens? Uhhh really fucking easily. Ever talked to an old person who lived through the depression? They hate chicken because they had to eat it every day. I know like 3 off the top of my head who NEVER cooked chicken at home til the day they died because they burned out on it in their childhood and associated it with privation.

I for one, love chicken.

>>17832306
Yeah lol city fags are fucked. I try to spread the good word to them that its really easy to make your own food but they're so much more pozzed and disconnected from the land than the urbanites of the last depression that they're probably going to fare worse under similar situations.

Seethe. I make gallons of hard dry cider from my trees and I have a gas tank on my ranch. Kool aid is for city niggers.

>>17832419
I've lived in both rural areas and in the city. don't get me wrong, a lot urbanites are massively retarded, but I cannot understate just how complacent and overly comfortable the average 'cauntree' folk are where they wouldn't be able to afford half of all the hobbies that somehow make them who they are if they were fired tomorrow or the price of corn plummeted tomorrow. "Oh no, I can't afford all the expensive garbage advertised on muh huntin show! I can't afford the expensive lures and muh shiny boat!". Every other year, in a town somewhere in small town USA, any local run shops get run into the ground because everyone gobbles up the walmart prices.

No that's why I was suicidal. The more I see all this play out the more I am convinced I was sent to this world to be punished for crimes in another world. Or it's just some big nightmare. Even my childhood was complete shit I wasn't privileged at all. Just when I started having hope shit collapses. It's obviously fate doing this. Most likely I will look for a gun and end it.

>>17832143
Live out in the boonies.
Got a truck.
Desert.
Stream nearby for water any time
Deer and shit, guns to hunt with.
Decent ammo stocks (need to order another 1k)
Lake not far away with fish.

Looking pretty comfy bros.
At least I'll have an excuse to be a neet and sleep out on the sand dunes every night.

>>17832631
Take a chill pill, friend. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, that's a choice. Shit's fucked and we all see it, but you can find something that works for you. I live in the country, have a garden, and kill what I eat. It's fulfilling, and it makes it easy to tune out the rest. Things are never quite as bad as they seem. Hear what I'm saying or don't.

>>17832383
enjoy the cultural enrichment coming to you fren

>>17832718
Anon as much as I would like to think that way I did not have a good childhood. I was molested and abused as a child I know it is possible to be stuck in a dark awful place with no escape. If my life turns out to be that way forever the rational choice is to end it. It makes sense to accept reality has always been awful and given my own mortality will likely remain awful for the foreseeable future. Not saying I am doing it yet but the more I understand it as a rational rejection of evil the more I will be prepared to do it when I need to.

>>17832762
you can continue to cry about your past or understand that it happened and move on from it for the sake of your future. now stop posting in this thread cause youre derailling it with your sob story

>>17832867
What kind of future? A future where your children will be poor and starving? That's a selfish thing to thrust on someone.

>>17832911
Strong men are not strong from birth, often times they start weak and crushed. It’s those that can crawl out from the rubble and ashes, that of which being your mental state. The strong crawl out, becoming hardened by their past, but while being scarred for the rest of their life, there’s a fire within that drives them. Maybe it’s anger, maybe is some sense of duty? But it’s these moments where they refuse to be defined by events in their life.

Which one are you anon? You seem to be at a crossroads

The “strong man” of today is the person who is willing to give up their attachment to strength, masculinity, whiteness, any identity as meaningful categories to define their life. It is weak to cling on to categories imposed on us from without because of their familiarity.

We will get Sanders/AOC/FDR type or some kind of Hitler type. My bet is there will be a military coup.
I unironically am a Marxist that plays the stock market. I think the Austrian school is the best for of capitalism, but over all capitalism is not the end game, there will one day be communism.
>inb4 your a fag
If your mad at me you probably don't know anything about Marxism or that Marx's him self said capitalism is good. Its just not the best we can do.

It will crash twice as hard as 1929. The good news is, currently we are producing enough food every year to feed 18 planets. So starving is not inside the equation, interesting times none the less.

>>17833949
>believe it or not we arent in the 1900's anymore
the politics are.

>>17832522
Yeah. I can't wait. I'm old school country. I want all these LARPers to go tits up so I can buy their land for pennies since I have no debt and use my grand daddy's rifle and my 27 year old truck.

I'm going to buy their land and homes and work them to death like the mental niggers they are.

>>17833949
The 1930s were not the stone age. In fact we are less self sufficient then the average person was then. The majority of Americans in the early 20th century lived an agrarian lifestyle. Now everybody barring a few are completely reliant on external forces to feed them.

>>17834234
Based. I love ancient trucks and old rifles. I'm not sure how /biz/ hasn't figured this out, but for some reason, old rifles increase in value

Someone actually just mentioned in a thread recently that rifles are a good store of value. Mines over 100 yrs old. A Winchester pump action .22 in about good to great condition with pretty accurate rifling. My truck has a 300 inline 6 so it will never die. My depreciable assets don't break.

>>17834347
Aw brah you gotta start making the pasta. Changed my life and it's piss easy. It's literally just flour and eggs and the texture is fucking peak.

Same as it ever was

For a very, very small percentage of the American population, the Great Depression is still in their memories.
It really wasn't that long ago historically speaking.

We're about to see what we're really made of during the next few years.

>>17832522
You have a point when talking about Facebook countryfags who will kill each other over a case of piss water and do whatever Mr. Sheklestein says to get their NASCAR back. Your average /k/ or /out/ poster will cover themselves in mud and live as a feral man eating nothing but the crust of cosmoline off his Mosin Nagant to survive, or so the legends say. What I'm getting at, is there are a few kinds of country people. The actually self sufficient and knowledgeable people who can machine parts and do fractional distillation to make fuel, the ones who are smart enough to get by with what they have for at least a year or two, and Cletus. I don't think I need to explain who Cletus is.

>>17835228
>fractional distillation to make fuel
Or quality edibles

>>17835228
For sure, I hope I didn't come off as being a complete piss off, more so to get the conversation stirring. That being said, as someone who currently lives in the city with the biggest Somali population outside of Somalia, and a host of other issues, I don't plan on bugging out in an emergency because I am the only one I know of in my neighborhood with an SKS, and we have a tonne of food and homemade beer stockpiled.
