AFG Demands Right To Bear Arms

The basic K-urge:

A wave of sexual assaults and fatal Islamist attacks in Europe have some German politicians calling for a loosening of gun-control laws.

The leader of the Alternative for Germany party, Frauke Petry, said in a recent interview that Islamist attacks in Germany and elsewhere suggest that the German people should be able to arm themselves with firearms and other means of self-defense.

“Many people are increasingly feeling unsafe. Every law-abiding citizen should be in a position to defend themselves, their family and their friends,” Petry said.

“We all know how long it takes until the police can get to the scene, especially in sparsely populated places,” she added.

This is what K-strategists are designed for. When things go r-selected due to free resources, the idea of nobody being able to hurt anyone is very alluring. Even when reality indicates such an idea is stupid, the r-selected brain isn’t reading reality – it is reading what it is programmed to do. In nature it would avoid conflict by running, but if you can have the state simply forbid it, all the better.

Now things have turned K, amygdalae are growing, brains are remodeling themselves to be more K-selected in their thinking, and people are suddenly driven to meet their conflicts head on, with force. Not by coincidence, you are also seeing in-grouping in the form of nationalism. I expect you will see increased drives toward family values, monogamy, and child-rearing as well. The baby-boom produced by monogamous parents after WWII was no coincidence – that was a population whose brains were heavily K-ified by the K-selecting rigors of WWII.

It is happening much faster than I would have thought, so when the real economic apocalypse hits, I expect the shift to K to be astonishing.
