Fast Event or Slow Decline?

[Mortblanc]

The concept that SHTF will only be an end time scenario is very deceptive.

The comfort of safety warps our perspective. Any point where you face possible death or a negatively life altering occurrence is a SHTF situation.

London in the blitz was a definite SHTF situation with thousands dead and thousands more homeless and entire districts in ruins. The wipe out of Coventry. Refuging thousands of children to the countryside separated from their families, rationing from 1940-1056.

40-60 Million soviets dead in WW2. They lost almost as many people as GB had in their population at that time.

30,000 civilians dead on the first day of the battle of Stalingrad with the Soviets losing more dead in that one battle than the western allied losses for the entire war.

The intentional starvation of millions of the Ukrainians in the 1930s.

The genocide of the Armenians, Jews, or any other group being wiped out by a tyrannical government.

The loss of the entire male population between 15-50 in some counties of Scotland during WW1.

The passage of laws severely limiting your possession of weapons needed for defense and survival.

For who does the bell toll? It tolls for you.
