If we're in a situation where society devolves to the point where people have to trade whisky or ammo for a pig to eat then half of us are going to end up murdered for anything valuable to begin with.
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoIf it gets to that point we're (or at least a non-trivial fraction of us) gonna end up murdered not because people want what we have but because by the time things fall apart like that people will hate us and want us dead. French revolution, Russian revolution, Europe's religious wars during/after the reformation, etc, the professional classes of people who built and maintained "the system" don't tend to do to well at the hands of everyone else when it finally keels over.
