Do you think soft people are just that way and can never change or are they that way only because the circumstances allow them to be like that? Take it away and they'd toughen up?
Recent events in Hati and other places in the world/world history got me to thinking.
SHTF happens (whatever that looks like for you) - it's likely a lot of elderly will pass. No more access to meds, O2 services and the like.
But what about the 27 year old theater major who got "triggered" because you didn't use xin/xer pronouns that made your coffee this am? They can "afford" to be soft in the traditional sense because the world allows it. When the world no longer provides the ability to be soft and survive - does that barista just die or do you think they actually harden up and survive?
People tend to find resolve and a will to survive when there's no other choice. Just curious as to what the rest think.
The soft people will die, along with a lot of hard people.
Boomers seem to gleefully look forward to the end of humanity, because obviously the world couldn't exist without them (the most selfish generation in American history). Societal collapse won't be cool or sexy. It's going to be horrific and tribal.
Some will, some wont. I’ve been around plenty of kids that grew up on a farm, supposedly “tough” kids, but they didn’t have either the mental toughness or the physical endurance for the job or the lifestyle.

I think the hard people will die due to trying to hold onto the old way and go toe/toe with other hard people.
The real survivors will be basically used car salesmen - able to adapt to whatever's happening with no rigidity about today looking like yesterday. I feel like we're due for another late bronze age style collapse.

Yeah, I see that. I wonder tho if they don't last because there are alternatives. It's mental. When you have an "out" it's easier to take rather than stick it out.

Kinda like cockroaches?
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
I believe there are a couple of movies that explain what will happen after the apocalypse :
Here is one of them.
For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative. Never trust a white liberal. Malcom X Current NRA member.

A cannibal gang leader named Barbeque just overthrew a government in the western hemisphere. Wild headline if you think about it these days but I'm betting there are people in Hati doing things to survive today that they NEVER imagined having to do. (eating human penises probably not it but other things)
Alot of people scream about "cold dead hands" and "shall not be infringed" at the thoughts of another civil war. And here I sit realistic and just want my 2a rights to be able to end it myself because I'm a diabetic. Doesn't matter how many life skills I have when the insulin runs out if shtf.
There have always been wimps, I went to school with many of them. They can't handle a tough world, they can't handle man-talk. There are millions of young male/female who were raised by a 'modern mom' who would debate everything with them. They take that mindset into the working world and feel that their boss shouldn't tell them what to do. The boss should treat them like mummy did- allow them to decide what they want to do and praise them- give them a Trophy. That's why so many ''live in moms basement''. A collapse of their phone/video/chill with friends world would suck their will to live. < Mostly referring about males- females would resort to the worlds oldest profession.
