re: Does anyone have a prediction on what happens when the US becomes insolvent?

Guess what though - none of their populous was strapped with machine guns and .50 cal rifles and everything in between. Sorta evens the playing field a bit better, eh? Again, if it got to that extreme level of course. Question becomes when and how it could get to such a level.

I think there is a possible event in each individuals’ lives that could/would easily turn a normally mild mannered man into a beast taking up some serious arms: some significant threat comes along that leaves you cornered, and your only choices are either perish (or if not literally perish, you may well wish you were) -or- literally fight for your life (and that of your family, if applicable). Perhaps a crisis that leaves you with literally nothing. A true existential crisis. Plus on top of that, they talking about trying to separate you from your family or some shite. I know I’d turn beast, real fast. A flesh eating beast. It’s not all that unrealistic a potential scenario.

Step 1) Ferment unrest/revolution
Step 2) Seize power during the chaos
Step 3) Consolidate power by liquidating anyone who could act against you in the future (military leadership, academics, political adversaries, undesirables, etc)
