Is this a "hard times make strong men" in-progress?

having to shake off the need to cultivate things to be offended over and other such prog corruption of American ideals as well as just general pussification is i think what the OP is asking about.

Oh, you think being concerned about how various types of minorities are marginalized makes you weak? In my opinion it's the opposite. It's easy to just blow those concerns off.

I took OP's question as more about resourcefulness. Don't make the mistake of thinking your liberal neighbors are weak. They'll knock you out with a baseball bat to steal food for their family just as hard as your conservative neighbors will (if it were to come to that).

We are well before hard times.

Liberals and leftists have the state protecting them at the moment.

We'll see what happens when the whistle blows.

Lets be honest...PRETENDING to be concerned about minorities...

No. People are too soft. They just commit suicide or call the suicide hotline.

They are nothing like the old timers.

I had no doubt that you did.

I think the effort to convince minorities they are victims (or "marginalized") is the work of harvesting political capitol for the prog.

The mechanics of it is to supplant the American ideal and usually involves demonstrating how those ideals are in some way less than perfect.

This activity you admire is therefore on it's face an UNAmerican activity.

I have no illusions about what a starving human might be capable of but my "conservative neighbors" by virtue of their greater ability to recognize stupid when they see it will have guns and there won't be any of your fellow travelers left once they get to the point i would need to worry about them.

At my wife's office, all the millennials are working-from-home while cheering 'Long vacation!'

They are 'working' with their laptops at home.... while hanging out with their pets, and watching Netflix on their big TVs.

Assuming if they don't get layoff later this year, right now they're pretty much enjoying their lives.

That's quite an illusion you got there bud.

will have guns and there won't be any of your fellow travelers left once they get to the point i would need to worry about them.

You'd be surprised how many guns are out there in the hands of people who disagree with you politically. Plus a lot of people will loan guns in a crisis to friends -- I'm not asking to see my friend's voter registration when they ask.

Just sayin.
