after SHTF, would Boomers present a legitimate threat or simply be viewed as walking loot boxes?
Overwhelmingly no. The youngest boomer is over 60. Sure you've got some freaks who bow hunt into their 70s, but the vast majority cant climb stairs without a rest and would not be a meaningful presence during any kind of civil emergency.
>>65107670After shtf literally every single person outside your tribe is a legitimate threat, and thinking otherwise is what makes you a walking lootbox
>>65107696Indeed, the best strategy is living in a state with a strong, cohesive culture like Utah that can cope with the Feds dying.
>>65107670Anyone who can use a gun is a threat, but don't worry SHTF is a fantasy. The reality is that the whole country becomes a favela
>>65107715Until the cohesive culture shows up in force to take your supplies as a tithe and any girls under 16 as brides for their elders. Fuck Mormons.
>>65107749This. Mormons are the kind of crazy that would launch a tyrannical theocratic state absent federal authority, like the Protectorate under Cromwell and the Puritans.
Going back to the 1800's isn't a big deal.We would just live like our ancestors and stop using electricity.

>>65107717It'll be like the Troubles but with more guns. Boomers are too normie to go out and join a militant cell. Most they will do is brandish at "peacekeepers" who don't even care about them
>>65107715Anon, feds already are overwhelmingly mormons. Why do you think they cover up Epstein and co?
I hate boomers so much. Get out of my hobby. Stop hoarding all the guns. Just like with the property market they got in on the ground floor and bought barrels of surplus for pennies and now won’t let it go. Thats only of course if they don’t sporterize them. Cant die off soon enough. Selfish pricks, get out get out get out get out get out
>>65107670Most of them wouldn't even be walking. Anyone who needs modern medicine to keep them functional will have much bigger problems than getting into gunfights.
>>65107670What would they have that you need? Their food is likely not great, their tech and munitions will be outdated or expired Unless you have an active drug addiction and need their pain meds to avoid withdrawal or something
>>65107764Mormon chicks are fucking hot though all that inbreeding has then looking all alike skinny blonde blue eyed white girls with freckles and limited education
>>65107717>>65107791>muh Brazil>muh Northern IrelandHoly fuck you niggers are stupid.Go read up on a country of actual comparable geography and demographics when SHTF.
>>65108161>hipster loser getting elitist about other peoples civil unrest references being "like ugh, too mainstream"
>>65107768we'd smash all the solar panels on principle, right?
>>65107670A Boomer is someone 60+ years old at this point, very few people above the age of 60 are in a position to be able to survive long term without medication or significant help from others. There are some that live in rural areas with solar setups/food caches so may survive for awhile but once their food runs out and they are forced to farm and hunt , I think thats when a lot of "survivalist" types end up dying off. Then again I know some 60+ year old guys who stay in shape and might be ok for some years but eventually we all need healthcare and its much more impactful at that age. Part of why half the population didnt make it past 40 in medieval times.
>shtf>local government rebounds and takes charge>a group of jerkoffs try some fantasy play>we are the sovereign state of boy sex and fentyna->gets shot>situation normalizes
Boomers are getting absolutely smoked in a TEOTWAWKI situation. If I see one those geriatric sad sacks of shit it’s ON SIGHT. total boomer death. I wish a boomer would try something, I’m ITCHING for things to kick off so I can go door to door in suburbia raiding boomers of their hoarded Garand and M1 Carbine collections
>>65107678>Overwhelmingly no.Wrong. They are so cynical, jaded and racist they will kill you on sight with ZERO FUCKS GIVEN.
>>65107749>any girls under 16 as brides for their elders. Fuck Mormons.If you cannot find a good wife, raise one. They get this and The Book of Ruth is underrated.
>>65108818>t. Edgy single mom teen.Your mom gapes for randos.
>>65108831They'll be bed ridden within a couple of days when their meds run out and dead by the end of the week.
>>65108309>local government Doesn't exist for most of the land. A committee of boomers bickering over land use is not a leadership apparatus for perimeter security. Only small towns have police forces, the rest rely on state police who are already hamstrung in peace time. In any sort of insurrection or widespread suspension of services, most of the country would be unpatrolled and dangerous. Pic related.
>>65108161>when SHTFThat's the point. It won't, you will just get poorer and poorer.
>>65107715>like UtahTurbo-retard that thinks his neighbors are his friends
>>65107670If you picture "SHTF" as a real-life game of Battle Royale, no. If you consider that, in an actual scenario where the rule of law and public services have failed, keep in mind most boomers would probably just camp in their McMansions and take pot-shots at you for coming near their property. In the latter scenario it doesn't matter if they're old and out of shape, all they have to do is snipe you from a window.
>>65107670>looting mini thirty mags loaded with corrosive surplus ammo and fuddy five handloads that WILL be a mix of way overpressure and so underpressure it lodges in your barrelFree target practice but leave the "loot" as a trap for someone else
>>65108171>russian civil war isn't mainstream
>>65107670Like the first guy said, the youngest boomer is over 60. That makes them a threat as a voting bloc but if the happening ever actually goes down then the vast majority are going to be worse than useless. There are still millions of Vietnam vets alive but their capabilities are going to vary wildly. If you're still thinking of boomers when envisioning TEOTWAWKI instead of gangs of broccoli hairs in FRT AR Nissan technicals then you've already lost.
>>65110041>over 60>worse than uselessLOL As an oldfag firefighter, I find stupid shit like that legit hilarious. The old dudes who don't want to retire outwork every one of the pussies who show up being 1/3 their age everyday. Even the workoutfag meatheads can't keep up. You're fucking deluded if you believe every old man in the country is a brittle-boned invalid who needs a walker to take a shit.
>>65107787i actually know a dumbass boomer who talks like this.
Real communities and families survive and protect each other. This is the real answer.If you know people by name and eat together regularly as a group in 2026, that's a real community.If you're old and alone, look at your life choices. Old people who are part of close-knit families, communities, and churches are taken care of. Show up and contribute.
>>65108818I didn't know supply drops could use a keyboard
>>65109925Wow, your mom let you have and underground fort for your antique spiral staircase
>shtf big igloo boogboi gucci clapped boomer .38 lootboxthis shit is so 2020
>>65108831That's very cute but I can't remember the last time I saw a boomer at the range who wasn't using one of those pathetic rifle-immobilizing setups. All I have to do is walk slightly to the left and the boomer can no longer aim at me
>>65110861its impossible to tell a contrarian 4chan user that old people can be incompetent.
>>65108161The geography and demographics of the United States is exactly why there won't be a Ruskie syled civil war. The cities are spread out, and they do not have a massive illicit left-wing cell operating underground. >big country big, therefore big country ends like other big countryanon, that is retarded
>>65110769And the other 95% of your demographic is different from that description how?
>>65107670almost all the boomers I know are on some serious pharmaceuticals to keep them alive, even the ones who are active and in good shape. In a SHTF situation that was long-term enough to interrupt their supply of drugs, a lot of them would die and a lot of the ones who don't would have seriously reduced mobility and activity.This is actually a problem because a lot of them are very useful and generally good to have around.
>>65110769>I'm /fit/ but stupid enough to be a liabilityWonderful.
>>65107670>walking loot boxesbut they'll probably die and have been looted before you see them
>>65107670Boomercore is fucking hilarious.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKUXvBPVcOg
>>65110769Being /fit/ won't keep father time at bay forever
>>65111655Is that it? Still waiting for the "clever" part of that post to drop....
>>65112058The clever part is that he baited you into making an impotent seething response.
>>65111698It doesn't keep stupid fucks from Darwin Awarding themselves either. If rules evaporate tomorrow, a whole bunch of dumbfucks who think they're badass self-made independent hard cases are going instantly find out it was a whole lot of rules that kept them from getting greased all along, or offing themselves trying to do something they thought was "easy" and isn't when there's no power coming out of the wall, or gas at the station, or food at the store. A whole bunch of people talking shit on this board would be worm food within 20 minutes of deciding to tacticool their way around a lawless town.
>>65112073You really should look up the word "seethe" in the dictionary before applying again like an 8th grader who has to wear a helmet in class everyday, dumbass.
>>65112058>>65112076>>65112083
>>65107715>strong, cohesive culture like UtahYou mean the place with Somalians everywhere?
>>65107888>Selfish pricks, get out get out get out get out get outIf your father knew his adult son talked like that, what would he say?
>>65110814>Old people who are part of close-knit families, communities, and churches are taken care of. Show up and contributeWhite people don't do that shit anymore
>>65107670>is this person who can't see a foot in front of them or hear their phone ringing at their desk a way a legitimate threat>>65107794This was also surprising to me until my therapist mentioned it
>>65112270Any time you see a post sucking Utah's dick you have to remind yourself that the Mormons have an IDF just like the Jews. I live there for a while with my uncle after my parents passed and they're the nosiest motherfuckers in the world. The mountains of Utah are wonderful but you could buy the most remote place in the state then go do something in your back yard and still have someone Wilson at you.
>>65108831They would most definitely kill a lot of people in the opening months due to their entitlement. People would eventually just start killing wandering boomers on sight because they'd be too unpredictable.
>>65107715>>65107764>>65112270So how are the mormons to live with as neighbors? I can hide that I think they're just another heretical christian sect if they actually walk the walk. I know they have dirty shit deep in, but could a catholic live near them and count on their support if I played nice with them? Or would they just rip me off for a wife and put me on the kill list?
>>65112313>count on their supportlmao, fuck no, most of these weird Christian offshoot cults are self serving and back stabby as shit, pretty much the whole reason they form these weird enclosed religious ecosystems is because they view everyone outside their specific and very bizarre brand of Christianity like lesser beings.Probably because their whole belief system is utterly fucking retarded and immediately falls apart the second it's scrutinized.
>>65107764Exactly. The earliest Mormons were not that different from a roaming barbaric tribe that was cast outside of the borders of civilized society and proceeded to kill and cannibalize the Injuns that used to inhabit Utah.
>>65112304I can't stand nosy people. One of the best things about rural living I ever experienced was being able to walk around naked without anyone seeing me
>>65107670>boomers>walking>shtfIts 2024 not 2004. The baby boomers are on average 72 years old and 50 pounds overweight.They aint fuckin walking anywhere.
>>65112339>roaming barbaric tribeIt's 10x worse than that, read about the Council of Fifty, Mormons were straight up rigging elections and forming massive paramilitary forces to try to effectively turn the entire USA into a totalitarian Mormon nation, with the end goal of eventually taking over the entire planet. Basically everything Jews are accused of doing today the Mormons were doing in the 1800's
>>65107670Most boomers are old by now and not in good physical condition, but anyone with a gun is a threat. That is the whole thing about firearms, they don't fully make up for physical deficiencies but they go a long way towards bridging the gap.In any case this is orders of magnitude down the list of things to worry about such as.>What type of SHTF situation is occurring.>Is this a long term disruption or permanent? Localized or widespread?>What are the power structures still in place, which ones are gone and which ones are emerging?>What are your needs in terms of food/water/energy/medical needs and how will you meet them?>What community are you part of and who is in it? What are their needs?Fantasizing blowing away old people because you think it'll be easier doesn't make everything else go away, and indicates patent mental issues that'll probably bite you in the ass more than anything.
>>65112405>accused of doingAnd>today.They aren't accused it's a fact, and it's been a known fact for nigh on 2000 years if not more.
All you young bucks have got it wrong. I'll be plying all the boomers with my stockpile of .22lr and bar-s hot dogs. They'll toil under me rebuilding SBC 350s converted to bio-gas, and wiring my alibaba solar panels.
Boomers have all the friends in the right places while you're still busy working up the courage to do nofap for a weekIt doesn't matter how much ammo you have when the warlords aren't on your side
