Over 6.3 million illegal immigrants entered the USA since Biden took office.

33 states have a population below 6.3M.

Let that sink in.

Elon Musk has seen what has happened to his home country when this narrative is spewed everywhere.

And it's not good.

I think most people can see it now.

It’s easy to write off slogans such as “go woke - go broke” as glib, but they are far more serious and meaningful than lazy Marxist nonsense like the vacuous shout that ‘black lives matter”.

Of course all lives matter but lefties will end up killing us all with their low IQ drivel.

The woke won't listen. Even when London is worse than SF, they will refuse to listen.

Zimbabwe, here we come.

Also, I've been intending to comment on the 6 excerpts I posted from his book but haven't gotten around to it yet. I posted those to provide another view on the coming dark age and also because many of the topics he covers in those excerpts have been discussed and debated here.

The 6 excerpts from Marc Widdowson's book The Phoenix Principle and the Coming Dark Age, in the order posted, discuss these topics:

Characteristics of Economic Descent
World Economic Order and Whether the Dark Age will be Global
Neo-Barbarian Invaders will Destroy the West
Fragmented Spirituality of the Descent will Leave People Wanting
Giant Firms will Fail and there will be an Informal Economy
When the Descent Culminates in Collapse, Every Remaining Nuclear Warhead may be Exploded

Before discussing these excerpts individually, the crux of the matter in my opinion is how severe the financial crisis will be and whether the financial crisis by itself will either cause governments to fail or a large number of deaths. Historically speaking, that's not the case. Let's summarize what is different this time, looking at what may be most important immediately after the worldwide financial system seizes up:

1. Critical components are only manufactured in a small number of often vulnerable locations in the world.
2. Manufacturing of components requires as many as thousands of inputs sourced from all over the world.
3. Farms are typically thousands of acres and use hard to repair equipment that requires high tech electronic components.
4. Populations are dependent on high tech water and wastewater treatment.
5. Big box and large virtual stores dominate retail.
6. Populations are higher and more concentrated in urban areas.
7. Populations are dependent on transfer payments.

We've had 2 minor test runs - the 2008 financial crisis and the 2020 covid panic. Both were partial financial seizures.

She did a good job showing the underlying problems and therefore why this is unlikely to get better. The average price of a house in the SF Bay area has fallen from a peak of 1.54 million to 1.00 million and the Bay area has lost 7% of its population in the past 3 years.

25:06 Moderator: How quickly can it all collapse?

Arthur Demarest: Very quickly. It can happen very, very quickly. The Maya Civilization was most spectacular at around 780 to 790, 785, and by 810 it was just in pieces. 800 in a lot of places, so it can happen really, really quickly. It's often happened slowly in one part and then that reaches a critical point and then it just runs through the whole system which is what happened also with the Maya.

Slowly at first, then all at once.

San Francisco. Most spectacular around Y2K?

55: Here Are The Signs That A Civilization Is About To Collapse
All great civilizations eventually collapse. It's inevitable. So what are the signs of their demise? On the latest edition of Odd Lots, we speak with Arthur Demarest, a professor at Vanderbilt University who specializes in the end of civilization. Demarest is an anthropologist and archaeologist who's most well known for his work on the Mayans. He tells us about his work, what he's learned -- and what we should be watching out for today.

Summary of Demarest's Interview

There are counterproductive patterns leaders almost always try as society nears collapse.

Leaders do more of and intensify what they do; leaders do short term thinking, fast reactions and fast solutions trying to hold onto power.

Hypercoherence is better integration leading to better decision making and greater wealth, but if there's a problem in one part of the system it can radiate through and bring the whole thing down. Because of business competition, the response is more and more integration. Cutting down on hypercoherence causes profit loss.

Status rivalry drives leaders to try to establish something great, which appears to compensate for the decline. We get these periods that look amazing but they're actually a phenomenon of decline. Things look better and better but actually are getting more and more fragile.

Entanglement theory says that previously great infrastructure was built but as you lose resources you're dependent on this system you can't maintain and that's impossible to really scale back. For example, you can't maintain just some of the Interstate system and let some roads go. People won't accept that.

An urban population dependent on welfare~ other people's money. I don't want to be in a city when the welfare system shuts down. Nooooooooo....noooooo.

The golems will lose it completely.

As we see the liberal hive is the issue. Modern and progressive was never the goal. Wake up they are actually crayon chewing hustlers.

No amount of logic will prevail.

Cognitive infiltration is a term coined by Cass Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule to the use of "cognitive" provocateurs and front groups.
Limited hangout is intelligence formed propaganda. Yes we read ...

Top 100 Counties, SNAP Participants as Percent of Population

Here’s a list of the top 100 counties ranked by percent of population that participates in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

by Tim Marema

May 7, 2018

Red-highlighted counties are in the top 100 ranked by percent of population receiving nutrition assistance through SNAP. The counties cluster in Central Appalachian coal country, the South's Black Crescent and Mississippi Delta and tribal lands in the West and Alaska. Large metropolitan counties that are part of the list are the the Bronx, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and one outlying county of the Memphis metro area. (2015, U.S. Census)

The counties that are most reliant on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program tend to be rural.

Here’s a list of the top 100 counties ranked by percent of population enrolled in SNAP. In the highest-ranked counties, more than half the population receives nutrition assistance. At the bottom of the list, about a third of a county’s population receives SNAP.

Eighty-five of the top 100 counties are rural.

I'm not saying the cities will be better. Just that welfare dependency is spread throughout the country. I would expect to see some marginal improvement in rural areas once the giant sucking sound from Washington and New York is silenced forever. But maybe not in the rural areas that are highly dependent. I would venture to guess that every red county in the West (image above) is tribal land, or nearly so.

EDITOR’S NOTE: As the year closes, the Daily Yonder takes a look back at one of the most-read stories we published in 2018– a county-by-county analysis of participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Simply stated, rural counties are more dependent on SNAP than urban counties. SNAP, commonly referred by the name of its predecessor nutrition initiative, the Food Stamp program, was a sticking point in the farm bill this year. Though stiffer work requirements were dropped in the compromise legislation the president signed earlier this month, the Trump administration plans to increase work requirements through rule-making in the Department of Agriculture, which administers the program. The decision has been called “sidestepping Congress” or “executive prerogative.” While the legislative maneuvering in this article has been resolved, the politics of Food Stamps is still very much in the news. — Editor

Rural counties and small metropolitan areas crowd the top of the list of U.S. counties that rely most on help from the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program, the USDA program formerly known as Food Stamps.

Of the top 100 counties ranked by the share of population that participates in SNAP, 85 are rural, according to 2015 Census data. And the few metropolitan counties that did make the top-100 list are predominately in smaller metro areas.

There is a fair amount of overlap between the counties that have low SNAP participation (green above) and those that have high social capital (red and orange below).
