Is This the Beginning of the End?

The short answer is YES.

Preppers are intent on mitigating the effects of both beginnings and endings. This is largely our goal in storing supplies, practicing skills, building communities, and staying up to date on everything from local threats to geopolitical ones.

Prepping is either your lifestyle or your part time job, depending on how you look at it. I prefer the lifestyle angle.

The End of What?

From my point of view, we are witnessing a very serious end. It has been framed a number of ways. In fact, I have never seen so many people simply throw the towel in. The apocalypse could very well be on the horizon and for the most part it seems that some of the most influential people are content to just watch it all burn.

You know, it’s one thing to surrender to the fact that hard times are coming, and we better prepare for them. What has surprised me most, watching doom hit the major headlines, is how many people are just throwing their hands up and saying, “It’s a wrap and there is nothing we can do about it!”

What I see rapidly ending before our eyes is the end of DISTRACTION from the true problems of our day. In Roman terms, the bread has gone moldy, and the circuses are no longer exciting.

Since 2020 masses of people have been waking up and its changing things in a very big way.

The mask is slowly being lifted and as more and more people realize this, they are going to react to it. It’s a revolutionary time and we will see revolutions. It is a chaotic time, and we will see chaos.

It is the end of stability like that of the late 20^th century.

The Lost Ways and Forgotten Skills

In many ways, we have overshot the goal. Our ancestors wanted nothing more than to create a system that didn’t require things like periods of starvation, indentured servitude, and rampant child mortality. Never forget those things were the norm for most of human history.

We have overshot that goal and abandoned the ways that made us human. We have forgotten the skills that not only helped us survive but also gave us fulfillment.

I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of this CHEAP and EASY period in history. Not only are things getting more expensive, but we are more depressed than ever because we realize that cheap and easy doesn’t really fill your soul.

It’s true we have an economic crisis, a wartime crisis, a food crisis, and various others.
