So I saw this comment on Facebook:
Dear city dwellers, google the 9 meal rule and then think about why its a terrible idea to piss off the people who deliver your stuff. and could you do me a favour and not collapse the supply chain until I get home next week? that would be super. thanks.
Here we go. Just like Mass Formation Psychosis, another term I had not heard of, the “9 Meal Rule.”
Here’s what the internet says about the 9 Meal Rule.
.
“A popular saying is that “every nation is about three/six/seven/nine meals away from anarchy/revolution.” That is, hungry people are desperate people who will topple any government. “It is well for us to recollect that even in our own law-abiding, not to say virtuous cases, the only barrier between us and anarchy is the last nine meals we’ve had” was cited in print in 1896.
“There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy” was said by writer Alfred Henry Lewis (1855-1914) in a March 1906 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine. “It’s only nine meals between men and revolution” was cited in print in 1943.
I thought it might be one of those phrases that really had no provable attribution, but nope, I found it in the digitized archives of Cosmopolitan maintained by various universities, in the March 1906 issue in an article titled, The Day of Discontent. MORE HERE
I can’t help that if there is any sense left in the world that Fidel Jr.’s government can’t survive after his “fringe minority” and “unacceptable views” comments. Even people who support the vax have to be frightened by such an attitude that a PM can say a view is “unacceptable.”
And a (fringe) minority? I did not know Canada had a population larger than China’s. That must be the case if what we are seeing in the videos is a “minority.”
I don’t think they realize, just yet, that they are in the crosshairs and fingers are getting itchy.
Short version. Don’t piss off the truckers who haul your food. Or fuel. Or toilet paper.
Longer version don’t devalue our currency.
9 meals is a good rule to live by.
Also don’t put law enforcement in danger or you will have nobody to call when the shit hits the fan.
During COVID lockdowns, the Democrats knew that there was a similar rule for alcohol. That’s why the liquor stores remained open.
The only question is the number. 9? 16? 25? 36?… 81?… (They have to be perfect squares.)
This is why they didn’t close liquor stores during the pandemic.
And it would be wise for those in “authority” to remember: there are more of us than them.
All of this frustration is by design. The goal is to break your spirit so that everyone complies. Those Democrats (and billionaire elites) in control want to create a FDR type of illusion where their policies will be what “Fundamentally Transforms America” in the process. Ushering in Socialism will eliminate competitive capitalism while it establishes permanent social classes with elites and their toadies at the top. But first the serfs must learn to appreciate what they have.
“They were talking about troubles of the time, social discontent, part of which related to food but also the rise of socialism. It’s worth a read because so much parallels current problems.”
…and yet they elected that original Progressive Wilson in ’12, who started socialism here and plunged us into a stupid, pointless war that did nothing but set the stage for an even WORSE war.
…guess not enough people read it that closely, because here we are…

“And it would be wise for those in “authority” to remember: there are more of us than them.”
…which wasn’t a problem for the Communists in Russia, so there’s no reason to think that it will be a problem for the Communists here…
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
-Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , “The Gulag Archipelago”
I don’t think that it is that long, remember the uproar and screaming a few years back when the EBT cards were a day late getting reloaded?
I always thought it was two (2) weeks until anarchy….
BTW….a question about PedoJoe46’s free COVID1984 tests….Are these free tests….the PCR tests that we were told in August 2021 were defective and were going to be used for four (4) more months until December 31….????
In Stacey Abrams case, it’s one.
Yeah?
Ask the Ukrainians under Stalin.
Ask the Chinks under Mao.
Ask the Ethiopians under Mengistu.
Ask the Armenians under Talaat Pasha.
Ask the Cubans under Castro.
Ask the Norks under Kim.
Ask the Russians in Leningrad (1943).
Starvation is an odious weapon.

CW McCall is still alive and I hope he finds the truckers movement heartwarming…
“Breaker breaker covid 1-9”
Go woke go cannibal.
So why aren’t the Norks rioting in the streets?
Hobbits eat 7 meals a day.
The NORKS have never known freedom like we have!
Well I guess NK is long overdue
Well I guess NK is long overdue. I had a political science professor tell the class rare is the revolution started by the hungry.
Except they won’t overthrow government, they’ll go raiding their neighbors.
Also part of the plan.
Save up several months of food, medicine if you need it, arrange water and clothing to keep warm, save up several months of money for the contracted debt you have, skip any unsecured.. Everyone. Help your friends, the old, the deserving poor, to be sure you all can survive several months..
Then set your tools down. No work, no buying from them, no selling through them. Produce nothing for them and consume nothing through them.
Let our ‘elites’ come to understand from whence their soft, unproductive lives derive.
The truckers are a wonderful wedge with which to break the parasites but absent preparation by the mass of productive people the effort can be turned against them through want, and the parasites will certainly use that to the fullest.
AA and I are good for months,unless they shut down the power.
Need more yeast and flour thou.
A mob is perfectly capable of acting as though you can get bread by burning down the bakery.
