I do have a problem with society, or at least what it has become. In my opinion it went off the rails a long time ago--before I was even born. Many aspects of "mainstream, modern society" disgusts me. That is, of course, my opinion and nobody else should really care. However, I'm entitled to that opinion, and I'm entitled to act on that opinion, assuming that in doing so I'm not negatively affecting others within our grand, Utopian society. That concept is called freedom, and we still do have it to a certain extent.

And, yes, I do have a problem "donating" too many (notice I didn't say "any") hours of my life to the government and dependency class (so they have time to go out and protest against me, and other such important activities such as threatening people for their voting preferences and defecating on the sidewalks of our lovely cities).

Lastly, I have no problem with work at all--as long as that work is for myself or others to whom I CHOOSE to donate my time and effort.

Ha, it's funny, as I read through your post with the indication of the accent, a cartoon character from way back came to mind. I don't remember his name, but he had a French accent, was a skunk, and was always hitting on the women.

And see, now you've done it! Now that skunk will forever in my mind be a communist. He has turned hardcore, old-school, USSR style Russian (or Californian). He will be standing there spewing socialist and progressive bile with his French (or now Russian) accent, rather the spewing his scent... which would actually smell better, don't you ssssink, Monsieur?

Good point, but OSPEC really only applies to people who are dumb enough to think they can protect their family.

In our case, OPSEC is largely irrelevant. We figure we can feed about 2,500 people a diet of 1,300 to 1,500 calories per day, until things stabilize and we can up that to 1,500 to 2,000 calories per day.

We actually will welcome people, so long as there's a line number on the spread-sheet for them, and group leaders actively recruit like-minded people, so for example, we have a support battalion with a maintenance company, transportation company, engineer company and medical company, and the medical company has 96 slots, with many of those positions already filled with veterinarians, doctors, surgeons, nurse practitioners, nurses, dentists and dental hygienists.

They only have to get to us to have a home.

French are communist enough.
They have sold their nation into slavery.
They just don't know it yet.

Politicians who will sell their mother to stay in office,
will have no problem selling the future of their country
to stay in office and to avoid controversy.

And that is why we prep.

Pepe Le Pew is no Red nor is he a government parasite (employee). I remember when our president was accused of womanizing.

Which tends to work very well as a tool for those who wish to change society. With such tactics, tyrannists can make wrong seem right, and vice versa. Look how well it has worked with the younger generation ANTIFA types. They think they are looting and vandalizing for "good." And that such tactics are "good."
