    I lived in Missouri for 3 years and it’s bizarre. Democrat government - buy more guns and ammo. Trade difficulties with China - buy more guns and ammo, Covid - buy more guns and ammo.

    It’s an incredibly paranoid society. To illustrate the point, I worked with a very nice bloke over there who owned 16 rifles, pistols and shotguns. He had 5000 rounds per weapon and had been buying his stash for years. He was mostly concerned about the government coming for his guns, but Russian and Chinese invasion, home invasion and zombies were all on his mind. The NRA stokes these insecurities, but it’s in the national psyche.

    What it means is that every time almost anything significant happens they buy guns, ammo and components. That means there’s nothing left for the rest of us. That then causes stockpiling when anything does reach us, which makes it worse still.

    No, it's a fragmented society. One that is divided between a confident and patriotic element element that is unwavering from the founding principles of that country, against those, bereft of historical knowledge and enabled by the gains of the system that they seek to overthrow because frankly, Western Society has become too soft.

    Yeah, we need to return to the good old days. We'll hang a hungry man for stealing a sheep and deport a street kid for stealing a loaf of bread. China will take him. at least for his organs.

    We need to return to the days where one could recognise the dangly bits between their legs.

    Get with the times dude...the dangly bits have no bearing on anything nowadays except something to hold on to when peeing.....
    Apparently 'they' want the population feminised as it's easier to control and less chance of rebellion/uprising....
    They have obviously not met my missus...

    And they fold in outrage if you say the magic words, "I don't accept you!" An interesting phenomenon.
