Like they say, Liberals have only two speeds: graze and stampede. What will happen when the government is no longer able to hand out free stuff?

An Easter egg hunt descended into chaos on Saturday after parents in Orange, Connecticut, stormed the field.Children as young as four were trampled by adults in a rampage to steal buckets and grab as many of the 9,000 hidden eggs as possible from the third annual free event at the PEZ headquarters.One four-year-old son was left ‘bloody’ on the sports field and a two-year-old girl was shoved into the mud, witnesses claimed.A horrified parent described the scene as ‘an angry mob of chaos’ with ‘not one toddler hunting for eggs’ among the crowds of adults…A PEZ official confirmed the meltdown.‘We started talking to people and say “hey this is supposed to start at certain time. That lasted about a minute and everyone just rushed the field and took everything,’ said Pez General Manager Shawn Peterson.
This is again, a measure of the societal resource status. Society is entering a period of ever so slight, resource-restricted angst, and that angst is provoking behavior which looks unusual to us, having been raised in a glut. Had every one of these parents just won a lottery, or if they all had ten thousand dollars sitting in their bank accounts unused, their behavior would have been much different. This is the mild angst which is conditioned over years of a minor resource denial.
K-strategists, placed in a position of such mild angst, will in-group and treat their in-group like kings, while disregarding out-group interests. By and large, when resource restriction is only slight, that will make them much more civil toward fellow Americans, since their countrymen are of their in-group. Additionally, their innate care for children will make them unwilling to hurt any child. These things don’t happen in a K-adapted society, unless it is literally fight or die.
Those who are presently rabbitized however, when exposed to such mild angst, will simply go insane, due to not being acclimated to resource restriction. They will reflexively and opportunistically seize any free resources which are easily taken without cost. Lord help any three year old which stands between a panicked rabbit and their plastic Easter egg filled with a couple of PEZ pills.
When the Apocalypse comes, you should in-group with like-minded souls for your own sanity as well as your safety. Spending most of your time among fellow K-strategists will remind you that you aren’t actually insane, and it will reduce your stress levels immensely. Also, should you need to venture out, 99 times out of a hundred a large and threatening group’s presence will force the rabbits to maintain order. Should they not, your numerical superiority will be calming enough to prevent you from going apeshit yourself and just dropping bodies on principle. These things are much more enjoyable to watch from a detached position of safety anyway.
But have no illusions, if this is what a children’s Easter egg hunt held in the midst of a glut looks like, Great Depression 2.0 is going to be un-fucking-believable. Our society is filled with rabbits which are not designed to deal with that level of stress. To paraphrase the old King of the Hill TV show, it will be putting all kinds of excess stress on cognitive structures that weren’t up to code to begin with.
Arm up and be ready. Civilized society is going away entirely at some point.
