Alright GA community, I've heard it said in regards to Covid, jab mandates and general government overreach world wide, that things will get worse before they get better. To me, this comes across as a vague platitude that offers very little in the way of real help. It's already looking pretty grim in many parts of the world. Australia and New Zealand look to be experiencing the hardest treatment from their governments, but in other places many people are being forced by their jobs to get the jab or lose their job.
All that said, I want to challenge this community and ask: How specifically will things get worse? Who do you think will be most affected by things? How would one prepare? Do you have an opinion of what will be the turning point for things to get better? Open discussion, please share your thoughts and opinions. I don't want this to be a doomer thread. Just share what you think people could realistically expect to experience over the next few months or years. I'm genuinely interested to hear what you have to say. How bad will things get before they start getting better?
EDIT: Let's keep this based on Q posts as much as possible. I'm actually fairly new to Q and have watched a lot of the videos provided by the GA mods, but still researching a lot and learning from you all. I've been with the MAGA movement since 2016 back when The_Donald was on Reddit. I started coming over here to GA back in January after the 'Inauguration'. You all provided a lot of hope when it all seemed lost.
My response wont be simple, Q has nothing to do with how "bad it can get". A series of questions here might open folks minds hopefully. What you presented are and innate first world perspectives of how bad it could get. Lose job because jab mandates etc.
I am certain the turning point will be several things. You have internet and so do we all. You have opportunity to get on a device or computer log onto whatever you look at and type whatever you choose to. First world priviledge. What if you wake up tomorrow and plug your hair dryer in, your toaster, your hot water for a nice shower to get ready for that job you still have and none of that works. HOW about that? Then what. Let that sink in for a minute. Your refigerator no longer keeps your Costco overloaded 3 cart shopping spree cool and will go to waste in 2 days or less. what if you dont have a weeks worth of a NICE hot shower for over a week and no end in site. What if you turn on the TV with your remote to that smart TV you bought from amazon and it simply doesnt have power. What if the wifi just doesnt work on your newly upgraded latest and greatest smart phone. Cant text your buddy, significant other, friend or random people you are use to. What if facebook is down, instragram and twitter because OMG you arent connected to the internet.
What if you drive to the gas station and all pumps are flagged with caution tape as out of order, waiting lines and no gas available. What if you turn on your tap water and you hear the sound of empty air with no observable flow of water coming out. What if you turn on that nice gas burning stove/natural gas to heat up some food and alas no propane to ignite. What if your barbecue propane bottle is empty and you head to your local trade in location and find there is NO bottles ready to exchange. What if you go to the store and literally see what you need and want empty on the shelves and after wasting fuel driving to all possible outlets you still cant find what you need and fuel is empty at the gas stations putting that understanding of wow this resource is not INFINITE on you.
What if you are the type that needs contact with certain people but you wake up and you cant text, telephone or communicate with them as you want when you want how you want in the moment as you want. What if your thoughts, decisions, daily routine, perspective, plan and total life outcome and understanding is no longer for you to freely choose and decide. YOU, ones you KNOW, the ONES you love, people in CLOSE contact, held at gun point. controlled, your body, your thoughts, your life sources of food and water roof clothing and first world privilege taken away, no longer for you to choose but decided for you. WHAT IF. let those sink in. really, stop, think and let that sink in. How bad can it get? YOU have no idea as a freedom loving american with 1st world privilege unless you allow yourself to mentally understand these what ifs in a real and honest way. My 2 cents
Yeah I get what you're saying: Basically just prepare for the absolute worst case scenario and live off the land and have backup generators ready to go for essentials. I develop web apps for a living, so if we don't have electricity or internet connectivity in our town then I and my whole company are equally screwed. And the web apps I build are meant for semi truck drivers, forklift operators and people with John Deere farm equipment. So that'll really f up their needs as well, which affects everybody else. At that point, a lot more people in my state will be really screwed as well since essential supply lines will be greatly affected.
But does Q predict these things as part of The Plan? That's the kind of stuff I'm questioning. Maybe it's not 'The Plan' but more just 'my plan'.
I am personally not aware of a Q post stating the extent of "how bad can this get". I recall quite a few examples helping paint a 40k view but those are by extrapolation and providing links to all of them would take some time. But that was my takeaway after reading through all Q posts and responses of proofs and answers. My intention of what IF'ing everything was simply to provide a alternative view point. I have been and seen many things that truly show our 1st world privilege, and I am sure many others here have also. But looking at lose my job because of the Vax is literally the shit sandwich in many ways. It could and can be so much worse than I believe we can even allow our minds to understand without serious retrospect of alternatives and possibilities. For me. The young girls in the congo stripped not of just basic life needs but of choice, personal body decisions, literal thought at gunpoint threat of life and absolute horrific torture. Exceeds far worse than death. I guess that is just simply the absolute apex of how bad it could be in my mind. Absolute slavery in all aspects. Very real, and happens all over the world. Here in the US we are sad if netflix buffers and have to forcestop the app.
Reasonable prepping makes sense, but I see some of this stuff as taking it to the 'nth level' sounding like you're preparing for a nuclear fallout disaster scenario. First, other countries are months/years ahead of us in the clampdown on their freedoms. Good idea to keep an eye on those results (and the population pushback we should support if we can) and try to anticipate what the needs will be here in US. Secondly, we probably will encounter some supply chain issues but the vast majority of the population in this country are white collar/blue collar workers who still need their jobs and will continue to transport goods to stores, utilities will continue to function, food will continue to be grown, though prices will continue to escalate. The DS 'upper echelon' won't tank the country because they needs goods and serves for their families to survive, too. They have certainly harmed us, economically, but the rational Americans have said 'enough' and have reopened and devised ways to restart the economy. Scorched Earth policy doesn't benefit any side. The DS who are (worker-level) embedded into our society (education, healthcare, etc.) also need the same goods and services (gas, food, healthcare), so they won't survive any better than the rest of us can if there is a country-wide Armageddon and we devolve to Mad Max levels of disorder.
I see it best to keep months (maybe 4) worth of provisions, including if you or family/pets are on any medications that you absolutely cannot do without. The government can still keep printing money to 'normalize' things in country to keep things afloat among ourselves. They will have no regard for what it does to our international relationships, but I really cannot see the DS or WH letting the US turn into a dog eat dog, survival of the fittest scenario. Remember, we are the majority. Due to MSM, it just sometimes FEELS like we are spitting into the wind against the DS/MSM. Don't think that government hasn't gamed this scenario out to the worst scenario and has proposed options. (both DS and White hats).
I agree. Im not a prepper or doomsday type. I have in order commensurate to the level or fallout as I see it coming or could actually happen. For me I find as in chess if one can. To anticipate all moves or scenarios, possibly to the nth degree. Then pull back and gauge probabilities of action. I certainly do hope mad max, armaggedon isnt a option to how bad this can get. I can see its a possibility but right now doesnt seem probable.
The introduction of the Petro Dollar potentially dissolving really adds some variables to the ever changing landscape of this movie set though. I do think engaging in thought, in regards to, as bad as it can get is loss of a job and the vax is a little narrow. Considering other worst case scenarios, although uncomfotable, allows ones mind to allow for a greater perspective and hopefully greater reaction of benefit to the opposing force being applied our direction.
