The female ones will do as they always have. Trade sex for a living.

Male value will increase dramatically and female value drop precipitously

How they go only depends on how bad it gets first.

1) Depression = They have to turn to prostitution or starve.

2) Full Mad Max Post-Apocalypse = They get run down and eaten by a random cannibal motorcycle gang.

Where will the gang get gasoline from?

Yeah yeah, keep telling yourselves feel good stories

The bolcheviks didn't exactly die when tsarist russia became a thing of the past. Bureaucracy is a bitch, regardless of deficits, and especially when it's combined with corruption, and it tends to be mostly populated by (((knowledge-workers))) btw

And for those in the geriatric section here, don't forget most live past 70 only thx to modern comfort and medicine these days

During the feudal era life expectancy was much shorter, on average...

The bolsheviks of yesterday aren’t comparable to the weak ass video game playing nerds of today. They will die.

Many assume that what's done on a screen can be easily translated to the physical world. They assume people who do physical labor must do so because they are less intelligent or less skilled, so they believe moving into their jobs would be easy for them if needed. When they need something done, they call an electrician, a mechanic, a maid, a carpenter, ect. Professionals make it look easy, and it's done quickly. They really have no clue. It's why you hear so many sentences come out of their mouth that start with "Just ...". When they're finally faced with "just" having to do some minor household tasks, they'll finally realize how much they took for granted.

Can you give a specific example or two of who you mean by they

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

I'll throw in some examples.

HR staff.

Marketing departments.

Anyone with a college degree working at Starbucks or selling in retail.

People who fill administrative rolls in office jobs.

The people I started working with years ago (writing software) would never have stopped on the first draft of functional code. They were interested in how the systems worked, so their curiosity dug them deeper into the realization of just how complex even the most simple things can be. Now, I see people who instead accept these first operational passes as proof of their competency, or even genius. You can make a nice living today, without ever having to think further. Enough money typically, to pay for others to take care of tasks in your life like repairs, cleaning, landscaping, etc. Of course, it's not just in software. There are all sorts of jobs available now that can be accomplished without complete knowledge of how the systems work behind the scenes, mostly thanks to software. Couple that with the lifestyle this affords, and you have a person that's never experienced just how difficult basic tasks can be without help or leverage. It has much more to do with interest than the type of labor involved, that is, I don't want to imply that it is a physical versus intellectual labor pissing contest as most will interpret it.

You know as a knownledge worker that goes both ways. You cant imagine how many senstences directed to me start with "just" and end with a proposal that should never have started with the word "just".

[–] • 0 pt

And just because it's done on a screen you think it's easy...

See how that works? No?

I did both, physical and intellectual labor, and I can tell one thing; when one shits on somebody else's job, it's out of sheer ignorance 99% of the time, that's what I've noticed

Blue collars like to shit on white collars, and vice versa, just like programmers like to shit on designers, and vice versa, exact same shit

"It's not a real job!" fuck off

The people shitting on everyone elses jobs are exactly the kind of people I'm talking about. You don't tend to do that if you've tried to tackle problems on your own. To clarify the screen comment, I'm referring to on screen tasks that employ Doug Engelbar's augmentation theories, which are great - but we shouldn't forget that they are in fact a form of leverage that rely on the work of others.

>but we shouldn't forget that they are in fact a form of leverage that rely on the work of others.

Yeah... And you rely on what when you buy your gears/tools from asian sweatshops? Same deal, it's a different form, you're taking advantage of their lower standards of living

I mean, "a form of leverage that rely on the work of others" what isn't exactly that at one point or another?

You just wait till they come over begging for something because they can’t even. Also, they have zero supplies stockpiled. But they can code! Or have a super useful communications degree…

[–] • 3 pts

You know, it's thx to types like that you can run your mouth here, types who can code

Do I need to remind you who is in control of your means of communication? That's right people who can code... At some point you'll figure that out

[–] • 3 pts

How would i know what they came over for though? I mean, by the time they climbed to the top of the fence they got a gift that was measured in caliber and have been spending all their time with the hogs since?

lol

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

Because they can't even what?

A good read for anyone wondering what it will be like.

The last time I read this guy's messages / story, someone brought up a good point. He knew what was coming for months and had the opportunity to leave before the city was surrounded.

Same with the jews and Hitler. Same with the leftist takeovers of Portland and Seattle. This shit don't happen in no vacuum. Storm clouds don't just magically appear above. Events like this brew for months or years. Them with even half a working brain see the shitstorm coming in advance. The smart ones act quickly to get out of the way of the tornado...the fools embrace 'normalcy bias' and are swept aside.

The people that banded together survived. A lone person doesn’t have much of a chance. Thinking of grilling something outside? People that are starving will smell it for miles.

White people are so hopelessly inured in consumerism we actually relate to everything in terms of shopping lists.

95%+ are screwed if the world turns to shit. At a minimum. The only ones who aren't would be someone who is already living off grid with no electricity, not reliant on any vehicle of any type, and has been sustainably growing food. It's probably more like 99% are screwed.

Most "preppers" wouldn't make it past a few months.

Most of us will die in coming years. I've accepted this. My ambitions are basic.

Anyone can dig a ditch or be a sex slave

Every job has some basic technical skill at it's base. Digging a ditch isn't rocket science but there is a method depending on what you want to put in the ditch.

[–] • 0 pt

Right but it wouldn't take a week long training to have Joey smack you upside the head and tell you to dig the ditch this way.

Even something as simple as piercing a hole can turn out to be trickier than expected. You know the saying, you never pierce 1 hole...

Just like punches, anybody can improvise one, even your mom. Same deal for a meal. Now some people turned punching or cooking into an art

Nah I think nothing will happen just that they will grind hard working people into being one step above an EBT card user. Then the 2008 shoe will drop. Pussies will sell wiping out their life savings and legacy assets from family. Some of the tim foil hat farmers will be fine, others not so much.

They bought a bunch of homes in smaller cities at big city prices. They did get more home/sqft, but once those remote work jobs die, they'll be stuck trying to find local IT work. It's there, but it won't pay the six figures they were getting. That $1900 mortgage will quickly turn into a default unless they take roommates or something. So more houses for regular people? Of course not. They're not going to sell at that kind of loss. Larger corpos will buy them for more than what the locals will. They still lose money, lose their home, and now have to rent and take IT jobs at local rates, if they can get them, from an over-saturated market.

Am one. Mostly no debt, house and 138 acres, grow some of what I need and stocks will tide me over until I ramp up the shortfall. Well connected via off-grid radio and well armed. Looking forward to a change of pace.

world already has pretty much turned to shit.

a lot of these jews have already carved themselves out underground bunkers to hide in when the shoe finally drops.

most everyone else will likely die from whatever extinction level event they have planned or know is coming.
