My spirit isn't broken. But, I'm a realist. There is a difference between hope, and being a realist. I still have hope things will change. But, if the shit does hit the fan, what are you going to do, still have hope? Does hope save the day? No. I'm a survivor as well.
Not hope, action after everything else is exhausted, besides I don't think we will have a choice if they come for the guns. Luckily for me if they do, I can make my own.
The reality is that civilizations rise and fall, and have done so throughout history. Do a little research and you'll find that many of them fell for the same reasons.
