I have been telling my wife this for years. We will get to the point where there is no one left who understands and has the ability to repair anything our previous generations have left us. Buy tools.

I'm constantly adding tools to my arsenal. My wife came home with a set of metric crows feet a few days ago. I was so proud of her. I already had a set but several have been eaten by diesel trucks and this set is much nicer.

Get involved. Big brother/big sister. Some local volunteerism. Teach kids how to do stuff with their hands.

The biggest redpill is self reliance

Like in Empire of Dust when the Chinese guy drags the African because everything that was left behind when the British left is now fucked

I couldn't recall where I had seen this. Africans are just not smart people on average and will cut off their noses to spite their faces. No reason to assume that the average black person in America is any different. Why are people listening to them and celebrating their culture again?

Good for you! They will laugh at you through their fake glasses and massive student debt. While you laugh to the bank. The area I'm in is VERY self sufficient so the only way to get work here is to have tools that others don't have ie welders, sandblasters, diagnostic software. I live in a county with no building code so there are a lot of DIY'ers. I'm betting that we will see an influx of out of staters soon though. :)

Yeah I’m in MT they are straight up buying new houses in cash sight unseen.

I’ll get my money check and dip to another town right before they ruin it again.

I think I’m gonna take up welding I’m just getting into industrial sewing.

After talking to my real estate agent its pretty much the same here. Sight unseen, cash and overpriced. She actually sounded a little apprehensive in saying there is not really a supply of homes anymore. I'm slighty afraid of who is moving here. If they are paying with cash they aint local or even from this state.

Remember that thing that was posted just after the 2016 election by some liberal soy boy about how terrified he was by a plumber who came to fix something? Terrified because THIS was what Trump supporters look like, racists who want him dead? It was hilarious.

Well but you're just not as cool as they are with their college degrees teaching them how to identify 194 different genders.

There’s a lot of college age chicks/ hottie boom boddites working construction now too.

I recently got this same vibe with history. It just smacked me with this current generation being so brainwashed how easily things can just be lost.
