True dat

 

Found on MeWe this morning (clickit to biggit):



Based on very personal, very bitter experience in several Third World countries over many years, I'm here to tell you, that meme is exactly right.  Civilized society and peaceful life, in the general context of human history, is indeed an anomaly that can - and frequently does - end at any time.

Imagine you were a Ukrainian couple in Kyiv this time last year.  Would you have predicted the invasion of your country, the bombardment of your city, and the possible destruction of your home, your job, your schools and hospitals, and everything else that made up what was "normal" in your life?  You probably wouldn't . . . but welcome to 2022.

You say that can't happen here, because the USA isn't the third world?  I have news for you.  We're importing the Third World by the millions across our southern border every year, with the blessing and permission of the Biden administration.  More than two million of them every year (perhaps more; we don't know, and we can't trust the "official figures - it could be double that) are spreading throughout the USA like a cancer.  They can't help but drag down the societies into which they try to integrate, not out of malice, but because they don't know any better.  That's not a racist statement;  it's cold, hard fact.  Ask anyone who's had extensive experience in the Third World (and I don't mean staying in first world hotels in a third world capital;  I mean boots on the ground among the people, with nothing to insulate them from the reality of that society).

Add that to the existing crime and violence problem in our cities, and things are going to get steadily worse in places like that.  As I've said many times before, if you live in or near one of America's big cities, you'll be well advised to get the hell out of there as quickly as possible, before it's too late - because the Third World is coming to your doorstep, and it won't stop there.  It'll try to force its way inside your home, so you'd better have the means to stop it - or else.

  1. Most people don't realize that the peace and prosperity in the west since WWII are unprecedented in human history. They are NOT normal and at some point our society will revert to the mean.

  2. We'll get to find out once the EBT Cards (WITH Extra Money from our Deflect Blame Politicians) STILL will not feed their children.

    NOTHING is so scary as "Mommy I'm HUNGRY". Nothing makes an otherwise reasonable "good" person into a Murderous Monster quicker.

    Let alone those who feel Violence is the FIRST Response, aka BLM.

    Nothing like Famine to strip off the veneer of "Civilization".

    If this Ukraine thing keeps both Russia's (via sanctions) and Ukraine's Wheat and FERTILIZER off the Gobal Market REAL Hunger will be visiting the USA, JUST like during the Great Depression before we Sanitized" the History.

    Round 1 of the Famine Wars. See my comments on Borepatch today for details.

  3. Definitely true... And I have to agree with Michael. Plus Shanghai is now locked down, so another round of no product coming out of China.

    1. And not just those that currently wear the uniform. There are millions of us that no longer do, but are willing to visit that same violence on all enemies, foreighn and domestic.

  5. "You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once." Robert A. Heinlein

    Americans have been living in the historical oddity of about 70 years of both.

  6. I've been saying this for years about illegal... and even many LEGAL immigrants. For one, they're used to a shit hole existence. The first thing most of them do when they get here is to turn what they ran to into what they ran from. For another, most of them have ABSOLUTELY NO ALLEGIANCE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. They'll follow the money like dogs after a bitch in heat! That's what the Left is counting on. "Vote for me, or lose what we're handing you." That's all it takes to herd the sheep.

    ...If WW3 is in the offing, God help us... We will NOT see a patriotic response as was seen in WW2. More likely, this whole thing will fly apart...

  7. "Imagine you were a Ukrainian couple in Kyiv this time last year. "

    Or, imagine another copuple, it is 2014 and the protests, the gathering for the next color revolution, were starting. Imagine you are in Donbass and do not want any part of it. You get shelled for about 8 years and no one cared.

    And now everyone cares?

  8. Unfortunately, it isn't just the immigrants (legal or illegal) from third world nations that pose a problem. We have a whole generation of citizens who were raised living off of government handouts who have a sense of entitlement. Should they have to actually experience true hardships, like going a few days without food, electricity, or (gasp) operable cell phones, they will most likely begin to riot and loot, but this time it will be in neighborhoods other than their own.

  9. LOL. Most westerners would have difficulty making it through Sunday if the shops weren't open.

  10. If you'll forgive the shameless self-promotion... what line, over and over, did I cite in an essay?

    "Oh, that’s just not possible."

    Ironically, my Kazakh-born wife, has said that my preps are stupid because that kind of thing just can't happen in America.

    *sigh*

    1. It's depressing to look at the last year and a half, at all the things I talked to family, friends, and acquaintances about that they told me could "never happen here" that have happened, and then realize how many things I swore could "never happen here" that either have happened or are well on their way.

  11. Maybe I shouldn't have had grandkids.
