the trick is to squat in the crawl space. 0 lights at night and you can wait out most surprise visits

sometimes they send a guy down there to check the foundation though so you might have to do a little murdering

good luck!

If I had to, yes OP. And in fact most people would. Nothing has changed, in any broad genetic manner anyway, in like 100 years. It doesn't take "much" to change a society and a lifetime of pussy habits, it just has to be a relatively extreme enough situation. Sure, most of us would die quivering in our mud holes panicked to the point of a blank stupor firing wildly at all the noise, but in fact that's how all wars are. If I recall only 2% of all soldiers in combat in the past actually willingly fired their weapons to kill other people. That rate is very different today of course with drastically changed training and a volunteer army, but if it came down to a all hands on deck situation we would revert back to the big ol war mentality and yes, we would all do it, as ineffective and wasteful as it is.

The real interesting part of it all is as you mentioned its seemingly unlikely for this to happen quite like it has in the past and most of us may never have to face this question, but without a doubt it could. It would take a huge amount of generations to actually change the human condition where we would no longer be capable of it.

I think that they have me on the draft list, but only if the enemy is advancing up the National Mall in Washington, D.C..

Honestly the world right now is pretty loving complaisant. poo poo happens, people react, the culture acquiesces. And we, go on.

Alright you fucks. Here's a what if.

Some of you fucks are in debt up to, and beyond, your loving ears.

Let's say another power comes to be, bent on world domination.

Are you willling to die in the dirt and loving mud, like our forefathers did, just to keep the peace?

Would you give up you man buns, Iphones, Victoria secrets bombshell bras and bleed for a better world?

I'm not saying it's going to happen. In fact, considering today's warfare I doubt it will. I just want to know if you bunch of weak willed, starbucks sipping, man bun wearing, bunch of loving nancy fucks are willing.

my guess is you aren't . So delight in the peaceful nature of the world.

Invest in the culture we are all sowing.

Because quite honestly, I would rather the world being at peace and us all just fighting with our economy. It means knowledge has won out.

Now I'm going to go get myself a scoop of ice cream and another bourbon.

I hope you all understand the wonderfulness of complacency that we have bread.

We get to enjoy.

So loving enjoy.

OP many soldiers including members of the combat arms have iPhones and are up to their ears in debt but have also died and/or would die for their country. Check mate.

Canada was faced with the same question in WW1. They fought their drunken yokel balls off and gained independence from Britain.

In other words, if you fight and earn your seat at the table you get to renegotiate terms.

So yeah, snake people fighting and dying to protect America from an actual threat would be the best thing for them.
