Are you under the influence of movies and you think that good guys win almost always and that there is justice and sense in everything?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI hope you do not because I highly doubt anything like this is going to happen anywhere.<\/p>\n
Forget good guys and bad guys. Prepared guys win, they can be good or bad, or both.<\/p>\n
Problem is in the fact that simply too many people are waiting for S. to hit the fan so they can go out and play their own version of God. Just ask yourself this question: Who is more experienced living in place without any law, criminals or regular folks?<\/p>\n
Criminals, sick folks, small Napoleons, guys who suddenly think that they have solution for building new society without including morale in story…<\/p>\n
There are guys who wait for SHTF to go out and rule, to take your food, enslave you, recruit your older kids, or to take your wife maybe for fun.<\/p>\n
Maybe how and when everything happens in your neighbourhood would be different when SHTF then in those news articles that we talking about, but lot of things gonna be the same, lot of people, not enough resources, and fight for power.<\/p>\n
It is often hard to imagine for regular people how nasty other humans can become. If you have been to prison, war or deal a lot with criminals you know better.<\/p>\n
And again, I am talking this from my own experience. Again.<\/p>\n
One day I had job, family, car, restaurants, cinema, girlfriends, I was listening Guns n Roses and was angry about last album of Metallica. Life was nice and good to me, I had problems but they were in the range of am I lazy to go and rent video tape, or just spent afternoon reading something.<\/p>\n
Then BAM!<\/p>\n
I suddenly realized that I am living among guys who are finding amusement in taking women and teenage girls to \u201erape prisons\u201c, or kill for fun and not for survival. I suddenly realized that I was living all the time among whole bunch of weird sick folks who when SHTF just went out to have fun.<\/p>\n
And yes, I heard and read many times \u201ethey are just different down there, they are all the same, let them kill each other, they are different\u201c.<\/p>\n
And I am sure that if tommorow SHTF in Sweden, there s gonna be folks who gonna write \u201eoh, leave them, they are animals anyway, not like we here, they are different.\u201c<\/p>\n
It is the easy answer. It feels good to think like that.<\/p>\n
But forget that, forget about image of \u201ewe are nice and decent folks here, and it is impossible to happen to us, these kind of atrocities\u201c
\nBe prepared.<\/p>\n
Whenever someone I know tells me about bad situation here something like \u201eOH, it is gonna be OK, it is not gonna happen to us, situation will be better\u201c in that same moment I got strong urge to go out and buy more ammo.<\/p>\n
Or whenever someone says to me \u201edo not worry, we have system here, they gonna take care of everything\u201c I feel like I am gonna throw up.<\/p>\n
Screw the system, you need to build your own system.<\/p>\n
It is like people live in their own little pretty house. Outside you have monsters knocking on windows looking at the people inside but they look away. Facing reality is uncomfortable and most believe monsters never come in. Bad news is that closing your eyes does not make you invincible. You are just blind and more vulnerable.<\/p>\n
Lesson here is, do not discount what you can learn from ongoing crisis half way around the world. I never expected people could turn into monsters all around me so fast, I adopted and survived, but you have chance today to understand this and be prepared for this.<\/p>\n
