A house divided cannot stand

Bleak thoughts

For those of you who are new to this, this is Matt Bracken's Civil War II Cube. Mr Bracken identifies three primary fracture planes that are likely to come into-play during social disintegration.

It is a tidy thought-tool. Perhaps too tidy. It suggests that the fracture planes can be avoided geographically. That is unlikely to be the case.

There is a fourth fracture plane that needs to be taken into consideration: Young/Old

Snowflakes

...snowflakes live in their own sheltered echo chambers in which opposing opinions are quelled rather than debated. Snowflakes are also overly self-entitled, averse to any form of criticism and holding the belief that their emotions take precedent over discussion.   (Source)

Additionally, snowflakes believe emotions take precedents over facts and that they are not accountable for secondary effects (WHAT! You mean I have to pay back my loans?)

Young correlates to Poor-Urban-Dark in the CW2. Consequently they affiliate with that corner even if they are otherwise Rich-Rural-White. After all, they wanna be cool and edgy.

We cannot escape the young: 

• Younger family members
• Food service people
• Delivery drivers
• Certified Nursing Assistants 

Many/most are envious. Many/most have been brainwashed into believing that private property is evil. Many/most will feel righteous about taking what they feel should be theirs.

Food security

Food is power. Food can be a weapon when there are chronic shortages. If you have food, hungry people will give up autonomy to feed their kids. They will let you mine their minerals and debase your currency.

Any reasonable first-order approximation suggests that Americans will never go hungry. We have too much great farmland. We have very productive farmers and good infrastructure.

What the first-order approximation misses is the food-as-a-weapon angle. If we are the swing-producer and our volume/quality can set prices the way Saudi oil used to set prices on the oil market, then the United States and Canada become the dominant players on the world stage without firing a shot.

The logical implications is that meat will become very, very expensive as meat is a calorie sink. There are 16 million cattle in feed-lots at any given moment. They average 40 pounds of feed a day and half of that (20 pounds) is grain. The beef cattle in feedlots are consuming enough grain and beans to feed 320,000,000 people.

There are about 9 million dairy cows in the United States and they are fed enough concentrate to feed another 225 million people.

Neither of the two previous paragraphs considers the grain fed to younger cattle.

Hogs and chickens are more efficient at converting grain to meat but every link in the food chain has losses. 

Reread the story of the Prodigal Son. "He longed to eat the pods (beans/peas) that he fed the hogs". Most modern readers miss the implications of how dire the Prodigal Son's circumstances were and just how desperate he was. Remember, pigs are "unclean" to the Jews and it was unthinkable to consider eating the same food they ate. A modern re-write might read "...he changed diapers at an old-folks home and longed to eat the undigested kernels of sweet-corn in the dirty diapers."

Given the evidence we currently have of the deep-state, is there any doubt in your mind that they will guide events and make half-a-billion people their slaves?

Socially, look for every publication and news show suddenly discovering "Health risks of Keto and Paleo diets". Expect meat taxes and the draconian enforcement of "humanitarian" and pollution regulations to choke producers. Also expect additional crushing of meat processing plants. "Knock, knock...Immigration calling"

It is already baked into the cake. Count on it. If meat is an important part of your diet then you are screwed. Buy ahead. Freeze it. Have a plan to transition to "lentils" because your body will punish you if you change over cold-turkey.
