Yep, it’s going to revert to tribalism and there will be a whole lot of different tribes out there... :-)

And yes, you’re right, it does “take a village” ... ummm... sorry, that’s the Democrats line... I mean, “It takes a tribe!” ... LOL ...

It takes a militia? ;-)

Triablism is often a good thing. If we break into mass civil disorder because of something like an extreme financial collapse, it's not going to be such a good thing. It's going to be the ultimate in micro Us-and-Them mentality. There will be masses of tribal cells, the size of which will be determined by the ability of its members to move about...which could be fairly small if fuel becomes a scarce commodity.

The liberal-left-progressives have no idea the extent of weaponry in private hands... nor the effort in coordination and the level of stick-together. They know something is liable to happen, and they buy very nice gear from big name outdoor suppliers, and have the attitude of a bunch a teen agers preparing to go on a camping trip. But then the same dumb-asses buy extra food so they can share or barter with the wandering hoards. Lets see how the sharing and bartering works out when the wanderers are armed, because for the most part the left doesn't believe in arms.
