What Will You Guys do When Society Collapses?

I'm a bit of tinfoil hatter, but I couldn't see myself on 'Doomsday Preppers'. I'm an old dog around here, but I do believe I'll be around to see the collapse of society as we know it, because our global economy is gobbling this planet whole and shitting it right out.

Anyways, without the DNMs, what would you guys do? If you don't agree with me, then think of it as a hypothetical, although I do still enjoy a little Internet debating ;)

Edit: I'm mainly focusing on the DNM-related consequences, but any input is welcome!

probably stock up on liquor, firearms, and canned food.

I mean, fuck, dude. You're asking a bunch of regular drug users what they'll do if society collapses. I'd wager a lot of us would be pretty unprepared and shit.

I mean I personally would probably be stoned on my couch or something, haha.

Raid some labs/chemical supply houses and make a bunch of meth/other drugs (but mainly meth).

I'd find a strong community and work as a chemist, making high-quality drugs for bartering purposes.

You guys ever seen that movie "Army of the 12 Sleeping Monkeys"? Yea, I would attempt some shit like that, kinda.

Grab my mak-90, rob/loot every pharamcy first, then stock up on water and food.

Rob the real drug dealers...pharmacies.

assemble a ragtag band of guerillas via bluelight - use our collective chemistry knowledge to perform a crude synthesis of mxe - perfect our craft to the level our ancestors in europe did some time ago, thus saving the world.

i will do what it takes to survive and protect my family

The world was supposed to end December 21 2012. That, and about a hundred other dates and scenerios. After the Mayan calendar debacle, I swore I'd never give another thought towards the notion, until I started taking pointers from Fallout 4. Now I'm really ready. Bring on the nukes bitches.

depends on how hopeless it is. if possible, do what others said and try to live off grid in the woods somewhere eating whatever the fuck i can find.

if it is truly hopeless, i am going to OD on the fattest shot of of heroin i can find

What kind of bad times we talking? Economic discomfort ala Great Depression ? Or The whole laws of economics has been tossed out the window, currencies crashing, debt obligations not met, futures and contracts null and void? Geopolitical strife? Nuclear and/or natural catastrophes that render our infrastructure useless?

I'd wait it out as long as possible with my firearms and nonperishable inside my home, no sense in going out right away and walking into chaos. I'd listen for any signs of life every few hours on my battery-powered radio, to see if there was anyone broadcasting from a guerrilla network, or a station had a backup and was broadcasting important information.

1 day before I ran out of food, I would venture outdoors cautiously to see if I could find anyone and see if they had any information/food.

Let's face it, a lot of people will either die or be forced into some type of public community where everyone gets rations, but that can only last for so long.

If I survive for that long myself, and I'm able to go through some unoccupied houses, I'll be looking in the medicine cabinet and in side tables/other places that I deem suitable for potential search of medication. If there are tapestries on the walls or Hendrix posters in a bedroom, you're damn right I'm turning that place upside down.

I'll also be grabbing a book that looks interesting, and exchanging it at another house after I read it. I'll also be on the lookout for pen and paper supplies so I can document my journey and write down any thoughts I may have. If I can find some single-player pocket games or a book of crosswords, that will no doubt be of use. Without constant stimulation provided by media sources, we'll need something to do to stay sane.

If I'm able to find a colony of people at that stage, then that's great because it means that (hopefully) they'll have some necessary skills for staying alive and maybe even some novel ways to catch food or a garden.

tl;dr: I'd like to think the collapse of civilization won't happen in my lifetime, but if it does I'll probably die soon after.

why would society collapse? no one wants a third world war, not even donald trump, the guy that wants every muslim to carry an identifying ID. Not even Putin, the guy who hates turkish folk. Not even China, who are now deep into recession. Not even North Korea, who everyone knows they're piss poor and starving to death every day. Not even Saudi Arabia crazy assholes, the people who are just one hair of insanity ahead of ISIS. Only ISIS wants to end the world, and as much as they may pee themselves in bed dreaming about it, their lack of nuclear ammunition will keep everyone else far from the shithole we know as the middle east safe and sound, complaining about our drugs arriving one week late and crying exit scam durrrrr.

the dollar is doing good, as well as every currency (even for me, even when everything that I want to buy online is at double the price, because Peña Nieto), the chinese fucked up with their stocks but hey, I'm sure the hundreds of slave think tanks they have all over the place will figure something out.

People love to think and analyze why the third world war is coming up and why their religion was right all along, but the world is an extremely different place than it was when the world war I ended. We have the internet, the most powerful tool against media manipulation. A big sector of the populace know that the powers that be are fucking with them, and they who regurgitate the propaganda would've done so in any time in history.

You know what? every time I say something, the exact opposite of it happens and I'm one bet poorer. So yeah, the world is going to end, we are fucked. When shit goes down I'll be there, with my hand on my gun, and my eyes on the road, give a fuck blood, I ain't going nowhere templar night and day, live an die by the code, code of the street, how ta stay in the zone, how I own it and freak it to the base of da bone

if I'm wrong, at least dont call me a fucking idiot, it gives me erectile dysfunction :<

I'll batten down the hatches and get high until it all calms down out there.


[1 Points] noonehear:

I've got plenty of benzos and self control to taper off of them.

To the woods I go! I've got a bugout bag with a 5 weeks of food, knives, axes, tarps, warm clothing, first aid (including some basic antibiotics), and water purification tools Grow my own shrubberies and attempt to live off the end. Better than locking yourself in a bunker until you run out of supplies... When you step out of that bunker I've got all those days you spent in there ahead of you.


[1 Points] Throwaw1776:

Well I can just manufacture whatever, steal any precursors. And I'm not a hippy liberal halfwit stoner like half of you appear to be, so I'm good to go. Maybe I can put some of you to work.


[1 Points] KingCodone:

Acquire all the firearms, non-perishable food, gasoline, and poppy seeds that I can and head for the hills. Live out the rest of my life happy and worry free with my wonderful poppy farm.

Get high


[1 Points] imnotfrosty:

Preppers are hilarious -- hoarding deck furniture on a sinking cruise liner. How do you prepare for a 100-year process that we are in the midst of? Society is collapsing, as it tends to do when it is a bit too successful. To survive, in the context of the DNMs and drug scene as well as the world at large, whether it's "collapsing" or not: Cultivate skills and relationships.


[1 Points] ibearbadnews:

I stockpile but only the important things. Guns/ammo/water/booze etc


[1 Points] an_illegal_smile:

Well, I'd finally be able to grow my own weed again, at least.


[1 Points] gotthatgreenthumb:

I'd most definitely grow pot and use it to barter. When society falls, people will have more of a reason to get baked.


[1 Points] tomasalles:

Probably would have to get them the same way I did before, off the dealer, shit purity etc...
