Will society have a complete and total breakdown/collapse? I honestly don’t know, and I don’t know what the official criteria for a “breakdown” would be. But never underestimate two things: (1) the amazingly thin veneer that allows us to maintain the appearance of “normalcy.” How civilized will we appear when we have gone two days without a meal..a week without a meal? (2) The power of mass psychology or group-think. If as few as 20% of Americans think that we have reached that nebulous state of “breakdown,” then it won’t take long until 40% believe it, then 50%, then 75%, etc. The danger is not whether we truly “break” (again, whatever that means), it’s the social psychological effect of ever increasing numbers who believe it will happen or is already happening. A self-fulfilling prophecy on steroids.
Now consider what you just wrote and contrast that to the bellicose class warfare Obama has been demagoging, you know, the same kind of thing a certain German leader did in the 1930’s. Now try to imagine how the hardcore Democrat Marxists and their inner city brethren will utter lash out in such a scenario. It will be very destructive and much blood will be shed.
Interesting train of thought . I think that this could also be applied to the “occupy” movement , the Democrat party is trying to get that portion of people to that critical point that they are willing to riot in the streets not for Obama to declare martial law but to cause people to attack the other ie those who do not agree with the Democrat party & its agenda of socialism,sodomy & slavery. That way Obama won’t have to declare himself dictator he will be proclaimed leader by the press who are playing cheerleader for the mobs.
