This ex-military guy wrote this Twitter thread. All the fantasy tough guys should read it before grabbing your next bag of Cheetos.
Are you calling for civil war?
Youāve clearly never seen what civil war can wreak, because you donāt want that shit for your people.
You canāt handle wearing a mask for a few minutes, but you think youāll be fine when power goes out, telecommunications are cut?
You think it will be fun hiking to the nearest semi uncontaminated water source because waterās been knocked out and your shitter hasnāt flushed in a month? Youāll be ok waiting in line with thousands of others for food while hoping a bomb didnāt drop off target and hit you?
Every one of you thinks youāll be the tough warlord while youāre at best likely to end up as someoneās supply mule, forced to cough up whatever youāve scraped up to some badder thug than you, because 99.9% chances are you aināt the top dog
You think youāll be ok because youāve got a bunch of guns and youāve been training, but what happens to your kids, your mom combattant family? No matter how tough things can be now, theyāll be a thousand times worse for everyone if SHTF.
Looking for a place to stay alive in February when your house is a bombed out husk or has been burnt to the ground is ******* awesome, trust me.
Think youāre too well prepared and that wonāt happen to you and your family? Check out the civil wars that have happened in other countries in the past 20 years. A 2.0 will be just as bad or worse.
You may think you want that. To live your little adventure sticking it to libs or whatever, but reality will hit you in the face like a sledge hammer at some point, and youāll realize that this is all way more than you bargained for.
If you think you have nothing to lose, I guarantee youāll look back and realize how much you had and just tossed it into Americaās funeral pyre so that you could satisfy a fantasy rather than dealing with reality.
So that you could do everything Americaās enemies have been praying and pushing for America to do: tear itself apart. Because that is the only way it can be defeated.
Youāre a patriot that wants America to be strong and relevant? Then donāt let it come to this, because the biggest loser will be America, and youāll be handing victory to those enemies on a silver platter.
I'm glad this thread is resonating.
I don't have a SoundCloud, but remember that climate change amplifies all the issues that lead to conflict and has led to the collapse of many mighty civilizations in the past.
It's a national security imperative to address it.
Presenting my excuses to all my brothers and sisters in arms commenting on here. This thread has blown up and I donāt have time to write to each of you. Thank you so much for your response & your input.
You all have important stories to tell to help bring the national conversation back to reality and help bring people back from the edge of the chasm we are edging toward.
