Gaza is the testing grounds for what life is about to be like in the West. Starvation will be used as a weapon eventually, and who's gonna stop them?
I guess we'll be finding out in LA.
I believe the front will be a little Bigger then just LA after a few days.
There are nationwide protests planed on the fascists bday and he already promised to send the military to any form of protest.
People have been looking for a place to focus their energy. 6 months of feeling completely on our heals because Democrats chose a strategy of curl up and die.
People are hungry for action, and these kinds of events exponentiate organizing.
I'll believe it when I see it. Police could bomb their own cities with plastic explosives and Americans won't do anything about it.
I wonder how many mid-50s or older Americans are on Lemmy?
Us greybeards are here....
You didn't need to be alive when the MOVE bombing happened in order to know about it.
We used to actually learn about shit like this sometimes in public schools...
I mean its going to be streaming on all channels, all day today, tomorrow, and the especially Saturday.
If you aren't seeing it, it might have more to do with where you are looking.
The protests won't go far enough to make a difference and fizzle out like every other "movement" in American history.
None of them have done enough, but plenty have accomplished partial wins.
You're right. We should stay indoors and do nothing instead, which will surely make the fascists give up.
Jokes on them I've been dealing with food scarcity for most my life. I forsge more than I shop.
The problem is most don't and it's not a sustainable practice for a large sedentary group.
training with the IDF, and using PALINTR by the leo to track people down.
They can't really do that in America, there's too much land and room and food. They could temporarily trap a population within a city by surrounding it with some barricades and stuff but that won't last long. The population size of the US has a massive ratio of more citizens than law enforcement and military. They can't take us all.
For someone like me, if the food supplies were all cut off I could just live off of the land by hunting, fishing, and farming.
50% of the produce we consume is grown in the California central valley. The rest is grown in a few areas of the Great plains and in Florida.
Most of the food you see growing anywhere else isn't for people, it's for livestock.
I think you are overestimating just how much food "the land" can provide. You need around an acre a person for subsistence farming, and that is assuming you live in a region that has a decent climate, that you have irrigation, and have access to modern fertilizer and pesticides.
As far as hunting and fishing goes..... If a large sector of the population had to live off the land, the wildlife likely wouldn't last a single season. The only reason we still have the wild animal populations we currently have is because there are strict regulations monitoring the amount of people who hunt and fish.
Early Americans were able to devastate a larger healthier ecology with a tiny fraction of our current population. Most of our country's natural Forrest and woodland were already destroyed and artificially rehabilitated over a hundred years ago. We have very few old growth Forrest for us to actually live off of.
If it weren't for petrochemical fertilizer the natural nitrogen cycle wouldn't be enough to sustain our current population. Since the invention of the haber process in the 1930s we are all just a bad year away from food insecurity.
alabama tried this in the past, they lost billions from doing this. florida is currently going through this, as well.
There are areas and kinds of people who can live off the land, in one way or another. They do exist.
They aren't the majority or the targets here, but they're around.
The rest is accurate, but the military really is in the same boat as the rest of us.
Sure... And have you ever entered a major US city? What, are people going to "live off the land" in the middle of Central Park? Millions of New Yorkers?
Why wouldn't it last long? Is there some sort of organized fighting force of the people we're not aware of? Didn't think so.
Yet they already are.
Ah yes, the government has famously left people like you alone and totally won't turn your land into gravel, drain your water table, and dump the pollution into your river.
Garbage doomer take. Have the courage to find some optimism in life.
Yeah, looks like someone has never heard of the Siege of Serajevo. Really was not that long ago...
I'd be careful with that last point - when a modern people is suddenly forced to turn to the land for sustenance instead of the industrial supply chain, overfishing and overhunting become problems quickly...you won't be the only person out looking for a meal.
Well at least our animal ecosystems are currently robust and thriving, right??
Wild hogs certainly are.
Get a couple of analog meat thermometers, you don’t want the worms in them bad boys.
I think more human lives will be lost than wild lives, but I can be wrong.
