As disgusting and reprehensible the parasitical class is, it is not likely going to end well for the vast majority of us. No matter how prepared one may be, when a society descends in to chaos the covert manipulation's and covert operation's that happen in the background become overt and happen in broad daylight, with everyone watching.
When the power elite loose control of the situation does anyone believe they will simply say good job guys ya beat us? Not very likely these are spoiled self righteous degenerate's we are talking about and will easily justify overt theft, corruption and mass murder to be in the interest of the greater good, and the jackboot's carrying out their order's will justify their action's as saving their families and won't care about any of us.
Yes there will be chaos, and what we have prepared might be looted or confiscated from us. But we need a collapse to restart things, just make sure we survive in the transition period
Agreed, survival will depend on ones ability to become grey, to get out before it happens or to simply submit to the will of ones oppressor's. I suppose fighting would be an option, however fighting doesn't usually increase survivability, unless there is no other option.
Yes, we can only fight a few people, You need a getaway plan if you are in big city, some rural farming area would be safer as there are more food than humans
