If you want to make a society volatile — not just angry and divided, which is where we are now, but revolutionary and explosive — you threaten the food supply. More governments have fallen to rising food prices than any other cause. Hungry people are dangerous. – Watch
People in large urban areas tend to depend on dining out instead of making a meal at home. That will kill your budget real fast. Many of these people need to adjust their lifestyle.
Fuck yeah, don’t get in front of Stacey Abrams at a Golden Corral…
I thought this country had an obesity problem pre-pandemic. Well golly, now we’ve really got a problem. It’s obesity plus 40-50++ lbs. I don’t understand how these people sit in a chair, in their car, make it through a door. What happened to you women? Your entire goddamn mid-section is all ass.
Yesterday at the hardware store, the grocery store, maybe 1 or 2 people wasn’t overweight, most morbidly obese. I was surrounded by giant ass and rolls of fat. I turned around in an isle because I didn’t want to squeeze by the godzilla coming my way.
Hell, I’m afraid (for) of these people already, take their food away and look out.. sheesh.
Oh, and around 75% were STILL wearing masks… Why??? I asked myself.. well, duh, they’re gigantic! That left me with another question, how the heck do they breathe?
ecp, this is why it’s so fucking maddening that far too many fatties voted for biden*
Dude PROMISED to make their lives more difficult.
The election was stolen but it would have been far harder to steal had he not had a base of blithering idiots.
“Starving citizens will not circle Washington DC in trucks, honking their horns.”
Trust me.
Bread lines are good because in some countries you can’t even get bread.
Remember, Mayors, Governors and Congress critters encouraged BLM/Antifa riots. Hunger is part of the plan.
“Hungry people are dangerous”
…if THAT were true the Irish would be running England instead of the other way round, the Armenian Christians would have destroyed Turkey, and there would be no Communist governments ANYWHERE.
…sorry, Tucker, I like the theory and wish it were true, but history says otherwise.
“Hungry people are dangerous”
..also, were this so, Somalia would be run by its farmers and not its camel thieves, and no Central or South American country would exist as they are now.
Starvation is a weapon.
And a very effective one, too.
When you’re not hungry you have lots of problems.
When you are hungry (really hungry) you only have one problem.
Jeffery (aka SNS, Loco) – A la Bastille.
Take your FUD and shove it. Also read some history. The Micks voted with their feet, the Somalis are still a tribal state, the Armenians were off in one corner of the Ottoman Empire, and Latin America had tons of revolutions.
SNS – democRATz look at everything to use as a potential weapon against the American people.
@ SNS
It’s true if things go sideways and no food at all can be found in the stores. People will do anything to feed their children and others will be desperate too.
I have a customer with a two car garage stocked with groceries and supplies like it’s a little store with racks and aisles. He’s a lefty! One day he asked me about what I thought about dooms-day preppers. In a derogatory way, mind you.
I couldn’t believe he went there. I asked how long he thought he could go without needing to go shopping for food. “About a year” Me: You’re a prepper. You are prepared.
Him: No, I mean the guys with all the guns.
Me: Do you have any?
Him: No
Then people will be taking your food from you and you won’t matter at all to them. Young fathers will feed their starving children any way they can and you’re a sitting duck.
So, I strongly disagree with the idea that starving people aren’t dangerous. That’s only true when society is functioning enough to where many people are still employed or able to give money to the guy on the street corner or a neighbor or a food bank. I don’t think you’ve really thought this thing through to the end.
Remember when Gov. Whitmer banned the sale of seeds, plants, soil and gardening supplies in April, 2020 because covid somehow? That was weird.
But she reversed the ban in a couple of weeks. I guess she found out that many people are dead serious about their food supply, and militantly serious about it now that there is an actual threat.
Spring is here. Get your gardens planted, before the government fools can f—k that up, too.

“Jeffery (aka SNS, Loco) – A la Bastille.”
You think I’m three people. Curious. Inaccurate, but curious. FWIW, I do sometimes use a different handle with no email just to make a point with the name of the handle itself, but I haven’t used “Jeffry” or “Loco” yet. Not sure where you got that, but believe as you will…
As for the Bastille, you will notice that the revolution that grew from that had elements other than food involved, and was pushed by folks like the very well fed Marat and Robespierre and didn’t grow organically from any mythical Mme.DeFarge. Yes, the hunger provided the fodder, but it didn’t provide the leaders.
Also, it didn’t end all that well. They cut the heads off the guys that cut the heads off the guys before that part was all over (“hence the phrase attributed to Robespierre “Revolutions Eat Their Own Children), sacked churches nationwide including Notre Dame and tried to replace them with a perverted secular Cult of Reason (sound familiar?). This provided the conditions for a guy who got them into a war with pretty much everyone else that bankrupted the nation, and they didn’t even end the entire House of Bourbon because Louis the 18th ended up (briefly) as a figurehead anyway after Napoleon was ended, so in terms of effectiveness it really wasn’t, and folks still got starved, they just got guillotined as well.
“The Micks voted with their feet”.
…yup, that’s part of the reason I exist as an American, so I know it very well. They DID leave. Which means they weren’t dangerous to the absentee landlords at all as they were starving in steerage instead of on the Auld Sod and were treated like absolute shit in the New World, so that still blows up Tucker’s basic premise as England rules the Six Counties to this day.
Not a win for angry hungry people.
“Somalis are still a tribal state”
And, as Democrats have pixilated this nation into Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, Immigrant, Homeless, Woman, Man, Transgender, Homosexual, Lesbian, City Dweller, Flyover Country, Red State, Blue State, etc., etc., usw., would you argue that the United States has not been devolved into a tribal state? In some cases by relatives of the actual noble camel thieves from Somalia itself?
“the Armenians were off in one corner of the Ottoman Empire”
…but if this thesis is true, they COULD have been dangerous to the Ottoman Empire. There are plenty of photographs from that era showing the starving masses being taunted with food that demonstrate they were not, and the Turks in question apparently didn’t believe they COULD be. History, again, has shown that they never were.
“and Latin America had tons of revolutions”
…all of which, like the French Revolution, just result in different folks starving them. And the revolution train has kinda slowed down. Do you remember the image of Venizuela’s Maduro taunting his starving population on nationwide TV? Here, let me refresh you;
“Venezuelan President Eats Empanada on Live TV While Addressing Starving Nation”

…I do not notice that this resulted in a revolution, or any fear that there would BE one…
…also, are you not familiar with Russian and Chinese famines, all caused to install or solidify Communist control? That didn’t result in anything but parts of the population dying that those nations wanted to die.
Also, not sure why you so angrily react to historical facts as Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. While you CAN fuel a revolution with this, without a leader it will not go anywhere, and WITH a leader, HE will simply control the food supply to starve those HE disagrees with instead. Maybe thats you, maybe it isn’t, but SOMEONE will get starved regardless, and that’s not FUD, it’s just a fact.
And I would respectfully say the same to you, DadOf4, as the history of famine as a tool to control population is out there for all to see. Again, a famine alone will not topple a government, and your prepper lefty neighbor is unlikely to join with you to overthrow the gummit no matter HOW hungry he gets, and even if you DO take up arms to go take food from a DLA storage somewhere, you will simply be slaughtered unless the government makes the strategic error of allowing the TROOPS to starve as well.
Otherwise, you will simply die of gunshot wounds with an empty belly. The government, whatever government it is, will feed the troops and their families, and they will be ready to shoot the next guy that tries to raid them and happy to do so.
It doesn’t really matter if you like it or not, it doesn’t really matter if you agree with me or not. Looking at political famines, you will see that it’s true time and again, and will be the next time unless we somehow find a Spartacus or a Pinochet who will starve the Communist instead of us. Inchoate rage will just result in massive slaughter, whether driven by hunger or pretty much anything else.
Your neighbor is apparently pretty free about telling folks about his garage full of food. I’m guessing that he’s not alone in that. Hungry people will raid easier targets, and half the population will kill the other half for food before turning on the government if they are truly that desperate. Cf. the works of Josephus to see how starvation works within a population when faced with a militarily superior enemy as during the Siege of Jerusalem for a fuller explanation. It did make folks desperate to get out and desperately attack the enemy, true, but they just ended up dead or crucified for their pains, for example “The soldiers themselves through rage and bitterness nailed up their victims in various attitudes [or postures] as a grim joke, till owing to the vast numbers there was no room for the crosses, and no crosses for the bodies”
-Flavius Josephus, “The Jewish Wars”, Book V
You don’t need hunger. Hunger alone will just drive different people in different directions.
You need a leader.
And you aren’t going to find one on an open blog riddled with govposters and monitored by government on every level.
I’m not arguing that starving people can’t be used effectively by leaders, good ones and bad ones, to end governments.
I’m just making a point that Tucker’s thesis about starvation alone being enough to do it.
Love it or hate it, you can’t change it.
Just the way it is.
And the way it WILL be until Christ returns.
“Hungry people are dangerous”
Also:
Frightened people are dangerous.
Angry people are dangerous.
Indoctrinated people are dangerous.
The gov’t hates you and wants you to suffer.
“Hungry people are dangerous”
So, they were appeased with bread and circuses.
Nowadays they are distracted with a series of crises.
