This post had nothing to do with US politics. I believe communities will come together in crisis if shit hits the fan.

If a community decides the opposite it doesn’t matter.

The mob rules.

I mean that in the good kind of way, the kind that still believes people can pull together when things fall apart.

I think things would be different during a great depression.

Because when everyone’s broke, the whole social network changes. People stop pretending the system works for them and start relying on each other instead.

I think things would be way different in a great depression.

You might be right.

Hypotheticals are safer than regrets.

But the community might object. Things are a lot different during a depression, something none of us have experienced.

autodefenestrating Thats a good word.

A real depression wouldn’t spare anyone, everyone gets hit not just the poor.

Very well put.

Had to look that up as I have never read the The Hobbit. Over my head.

Theres nothing like a Great Depression to rally the troops.

I don’t mean exactly like that, surely there are newer tactics.

That wasn’t a great depression.

Exactly what i was thinking

Well if there was one I don’t think everyone would submit to the banks or foreign money.

Maybe the real question isn’t whether it’s a bubble but whether everyone’s betting on the wrong players while DARPA quietly builds the real thing. Can you really beat DARPA?
