Thank you.
I have the benefit of knowing what my peeps look like without the makeup, as my girlfriend is a nurse, and some of my other people (few in number) are paramedics and EMTs that I worked with in car accidents, shootings, etc..
Just pretend you are a sociopath and practice the expected behaviors. You'll get along just fine.
Well I gotta say. And this is the hardened look at things. There are givers and takers. Those who are looking for someone to take care of them, either by the government or by other people and you know who they are , those people need to go. If you do not contribute then you are out, no whiners, no slackers, no narcissists or dependent personality types. Luckily nearly everyone I know has an excellent work ethic and that is what is needed. Not people who plan to be catered to and try to work the system. I hate deadbeats. Anyone with a gang tatoo should be immediately eliminated. If something does happen I hope they do not open the jails and prisons.
There must be more than one common denominator. Friends can be good companions, but real true friends are hard to come by. Real friends are more like family and sometimes more than family. There usually is something else that binds them besides just liking each other, such as sharing the same religious beliefs and other basic core values.
I always think what to be done without electricity. No gasoline or diesel. You need a strong team to farm and do manual labor. I can't take my brother in laws parents or his other relatives, can't take any relatives of in-laws at all. So that will most likely be my line in the sand. Unless they have something spectacular to offer of course. Have horses or thousands of rounds of ammo or something.
Got it.
I don't know about this.
I think in a shtf we will see most humans become sociopath just by the nature of the environment, I think the only way to survive in a complete society meltdown are to be the sociopath, the peace makers and pacifist are the one's that fall first.The reason I said that is because those types can mimic the correct responses and expected behaviors of typical people. Sociopaths live in society(often times unnoticed) and tend to blend and not be suspected of what they are capable of. They are usually quite intelligent and learn by experience the things that imbue trust in others and they develop those behaviors/actions. For instance, they lack empathy but they are able to convince people that they do. MY suggestion is that you learn what behaviors/actions that society in general relate to and practice them at home or with people you trust. Just a thought to be able to blend.
I agree but usually sociopaths don't know there is anything wrong with them, they tend to mimic what others do in order to fit in, but they have little empathy for others and will be very dangerous without the restraints of society that we now have.Sociopath can be very intelligent, not all show signs or act on it, don't discount the sociopath
Exactly. Number one if I don't trust them, they are out. If they are a trustworthy relative of an in-law and have something to bring to the table, then I will consider it. But, you have to have some kind of measure by which to judge who you will take, the first measure is how many CAN you take, take those you must, then IF you can consider the others.
