Signs of the Apocalypse – British Drive-bys and Gang Warfare

British gun control in action:

Shots were fired at a Salford pub as gang warfare flared again in the city.

Men on a motorbike opened fire at The Wellington on Bolton Road, Irlams o’ th’ Height on Thursday evening…

It is understood two men on a motorbike peppered the pub with bullets. All four windows were hit in the attack shortly before 9pm.

No one was hurt but staff and customers were left shocked.

Again, this is barely detectable resource restriction. Imagine what will go down between these characters who are reportedly non-Muslim locals, and the Muslims once the collapse hits.

Part of me wonders if resource restriction is even necessary for the K-shift. Perhaps a static level of resources is all that it takes to drive a population toward a natural state of K. Perhaps as with drugs, a resource glut only creates a temporary high initially, which eventually gives way to tedium and dissatisfaction with the status-quo. To maintain the r-state, an additional dopamine surge is necessary. Absent a constantly increasing dopamine surge, the individuals of a society gradually grow dissatisfied with the status quo, and K begins to set in.

If so, we likely have no ability to imagine how wild it will get once an actual collapse begins.
