It could be a very healthy thing for our country to go through a tech crisis for a little while. How many times do you unplug for a week to just relax? Think about every one doing that for 10 days and getting to know their neighbors maybe for the first time? Or if the plastic money cards didn't work would people help each other? Would Americans learn what matters and what doesn't? Would they all become the citizens that wouldn't have let this happen in the first place and become vigilant to not let it happen again?
Would Americans learn what matters and what doesn't?
It's why I honestly hope if something like this does happen that everything gets deleted.
It would put things into perspective so fast. Many would realize instantly that all the shit they spent most of their lives posting/ collecting/ whatever else was completely pointless... meaningless...
I think you will see this in rural America with neighbor helping neighbor.
Not sure about the urban cities though, I am just not familiar enough with them or the culture. I would like to think it would unify like 9/11 did for NYC. That said, there has been lots of programming that during that crisis it is okay to loot & steal.
I sure hope it is resolved quickly to prevent the most potential for loss of life.
"Without the ability to communicate/ coordinate and sans the fuel that is social media would almost ensure that doesn't happen.
And this is especially true because the age demographic of those most likely to riot will have never known life without a phone/ wifi rendering them nearly incapable of travel
Oh, and it would allow for a few days to set up and buttress forward/temporary defenses needed to keep an uprising from coming to fruition.
I expect this will mainly occur in urban/ densely populated areas where rioting is most likely.
Also worthy of note is that only those able to use the private/secure/global Starlink would maintain comms. Everyone else, including the cabal, would be rendered unable to communicate and therefore greatly degraded in their ability to even operate.

If by "the cabal" he means "globalist shitbags" I'm going to have to disagree. These shitbags probably have their own off-record network.
I've been thinking about something like this, as I have Starlink at home, but what would I be able to log into if all of the rest of Internet is on ground based systems and not working? Would I have to set up an old school BBS and text threads to other Starlink terminals? Just tossing around ideas here. Help pls!
One way to take down the web easily is to take out DNS servers.
Even if you have connectivity and the destination does as well, if you don't know the address and can't find it, you're SOL.
You can mitigate this by setting up your own DNS server, either as a local mirror, or even with static records. You can also use static records locally on your machine with a hosts file.
The key is that you have to do all this prior to global DNS going down. Also, most web sites will not serve traffic to a request to only the IP, either due to configuration or because the server is hosting multiple sites on the same IP. It needs to see the browser making the request to the hostname. This used to be done on the server by looking at host headers, but I've been out of that particular area of IT for awhile and things may have changed.
Doing this ahead of time could be as simple as doing DNS lookups (using ping or nslookup) and writing them down on paper should you need them later.
In theory, some great pre-planning would be to agree on a couple of email providers. Everyone keeps those DNS records written down with basic "break glass" instructions. Then if DNS goes down, that group all has the ability to send mail to those providers and access the web interfaces to receive mail. Could quickly distribute more advanced instructions and lists of IPs to allow greater communication. If coordinated well, it quickly mitigate a lot of the issue compared to trying to pick up the pieces afterwards with no prep.
Actually knowing the IP addresses won't help much these days with virtual servers hosting hundreds of websites on the same IP address plus how most websites pull in assets from multiple servers rather than having everything local.
I did ave a ist of nearly two dozen IP addresses like Orangetastic1 suggested, but now I see it may be in vain. Maybe X would still be up, being that Mr Musk owns it and all, it might be hardend.
Now THAT would be an Awakening...To See These people trying to Navigate life withOUT their Connected Devices! I was just thinking too...only the Old folks probably have a thing we call "MAPS" hanging around.
We don't drive, and I occasionally take Uber instead of the bus. Its too funny when they depend on the Uber app. map and it takes them the long way around and out of the way. Many are new to Nashville (from overseas), but some are locals. They blindly follow the app.
We were thinking of Moving to Nashville a few years ago...apparently I hear So DID everyone else. I am sure the area is ruined by now. Agreed about the BLINDLY
Nashville is very blue in a very red state. Housing is expensive, but pay rates are good. Lots of overtime available since liberal younglings, and urban youth, don't like to work. Tenn. uses the national minimum wage, but even the illegals make double that.
Downtown Nashville has a lot of new buildings going up, supposed to be a 65 story starting soon. Bus system is pretty good, electricity is cheap, but Bidenflation has caused natural gas to go up a lot!
Yeah, I love the music scene here... I go to Karaoke on third floor of AJs bar every week or so. 7 nights karaoke at 7 pm. Great karaoke hosts and most of the people working there are in the business. Wild Beaver is also great, but isn't open on early week days. Wannabe's the karaoke hosts seem rude, while Miss Kittie's they want 5 bucks a song to sing...
I'm not one to buy into the generational divisions, but Gen z is so effed. They are 100x less tech savvy than your 90 year old grandparents. While they use tech probably more than anyone else, they understand less of it than pretty much anyone.
How is regular law enforcement going to handle this?
If you look at what happens around the world where the infrastructure of some country goes down and the power goes out for more than a few days, looting and rioting are always huge problems.
No offense, but whoever authored that original post didn't think things through very well.
my brother is so addicted to the internet, when we didn't have any for a few months, he would walk in FREEZING temps to Walmart or Target, just to access their wifi.
even worse, it was to access of all places, Twitch. he would walk 5 miles in freezing weather to watch people play video games & exchange stupid jokes like they were in 7th grade.
this was 2 years ago. he was 28 at the time.....
i for one, would love a break from all the computer & online shit. people need to wake up from the matrix at some point.
I disagree. Temporary blackout would be so disastrous it’s almost unfathomable. Within 3 days the whole country would fall apart and within 1 week average “nice people” would be murdering others.
Also this has always been a ridiculous idea because you wouldn’t actually know who is in control. We would assume white hats but how would we know 100%? What if we woke up in a prison planet.
Various radio receivers, land line telephone should allow you to reach everyone in the same central office ( at least). Paper Bible, blue line and some pens.
CB radio's are fairly cheap to have on hand, short range, but extremely abundant.
It's a very good point he's making. But the ferrals will find a way to start trouble anyway. They go looking for their own trouble. In fact, they'll probably behave worse thinking society is completely collapsing.
Provided the enemy hasn't already grouped and prepared for the event and already repositioned these assets. But fhatbwill screw up people's travel. I own a bunch of paper maps still.

I disagree,
So much of human knowledge and media innovation has been preserved by the internet, and we should not let it be lost forever.
So many pre-Internet classic films have been forgotten already...

Yeah in the summer..when nobody needs heat. Unlikely if we were to choose a time would it be in winter months.
Well, on the flip side of that, needing heat will keep a lot of people inside. That will decrease the opportunity for the rioters.
The "generation" that was raised on cell phones will have a really hard time COMMUNICATING with anyone VERBALLY! KEK

Replying to agree. I used to have my DNS list of go to but fell out of habit. Thanks for the reminder.
A useful command to know is ipconfig /displaydns
If you're running a Linux system that has nscd installed you can try
strings /var/cache/nscd/hosts | sort | uniq
or
strings /var/db/nscd/hosts | sort | uniq
The problem with writing them down is some sites do change IPs.
Actually knowing the IP addresses won't help much these days with virtual servers hosting hundreds of websites on the same IP address plus how most websites pull in assets from multiple servers rather than having everything local.
I did ave a ist of nearly two dozen IP addresses like Orangetastic1 suggested, but now I see it may be in vain. Maybe X would still be up, being that Mr Musk owns it and all, it might be hardend.
Probably Truth Social. 😉

Even limited blackout would be incredibly bad.
Is thinking out loud the new Shower Thought? Asking for a fren.😂🤣😂
Would a blackout also keep these rioters from getting paid and nipping their motivation to get out and burn things down? 🤔
Various radio receivers, land line telephone should allow you to reach everyone in the same central office ( at least). Paper Bible, blue line and some pens.
CB radio's are fairly cheap to have on hand, short range, but extremely abundant.
Not to mention unplug the NPC boomers who rely on the TV for what and how to think.
It's a very good point he's making. But the ferrals will find a way to start trouble anyway. They go looking for their own trouble. In fact, they'll probably behave worse thinking society is completely collapsing.
My guess would be after elections, but ASAP, they can use Starlink to track cheating.
Bring it...
No. Just no.
What about those of us who still have land line access?
I think the cabal has Starlink, so there's that.
Provided the enemy hasn't already grouped and prepared for the event and already repositioned these assets. But fhatbwill screw up people's travel. I own a bunch of paper maps still.
