The Enemy is everywhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a common misconception in the Survivalist community. \u201cI\u2019ll retreat\u2026get away from the major population centers\u2026work to live off the grid\u2026and let the urban hellholes rot<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well\u2026about that.<\/p>\n

Rural living is, for all intents and purposes, a better way to live. We\u2019re more in tune with the natural world by and large, not in spite of it, and for the most part the lifestyle lends itself well to harder people used to doing without. And for people like me, there\u2019s nothing that replaces the generations-deep connections to your homeland. The people there are your people- and in spite of differences, there is a deeply ingrained love of place. It is home.<\/p>\n

Sounds good until the problems begin to bubble up. The first issue is questioning exactly how many in those rural areas are actually self-sufficient. That answer is probably few. And the rates of addiction and substance abuse is in turn shockingly high, correlated with the inevitable poverty rate. This was not by accident. The trailer-hood is a thing. Opioids were dumped on our population by Big Pharma, just as with the rise of decentralized meth manufacturing two decades earlier, and the crack epidemic which made its way into rural America just the same as the well-publicized urban epidemics during the 1990s. Home invasions and thefts are the norm.<\/p>\n

No, not quite the retreat paradise the suburbanites had envisioned\u2026is it?<\/em><\/p>\n

Dusting off the old sociology coursework, I\u2019d argue rather convincingly that this creates a populace primed for violent revolution. Decades of institutionalized poverty have created a primed pump. This in turn is a reality that one group on the Left whole-heartedly is attempting to exploit (albeit self defeated at times):\u00a0Redneck Revolt.<\/p>\n

Redneck Revolt is active in spaces in which white supremacist groups also often recruit, including\u00a0country music\u00a0concerts,\u00a0flea markets, gun shows,\u00a0NASCAR\u00a0events,\u00a0rodeos\u00a0and\u00a0state fairs. Chapters provide firearms and first aid training, food and clothing programs and\u00a0community gardens\u00a0and host\u00a0needle exchanges,\u00a0potlucks\u00a0and educational events.<\/em><\/p>\n

Interesting bit there. While the Left is no stranger to infighting, at a possibly even worse level than their counterparts on the Right, Redneck Revolt admittedly is correct in focusing on rural areas as a\u00a0 vanguard for fomenting revolution. This is reflective of the strategy employed by\u00a0Che Guevara\u2019s opinion on the same from his work Guerrilla Warfare. They are seeking to exploit the social and economic realities for their benefit. While the gun community snobs look down on guys with inexpensive gear, cheap weapons and optics, and a general lack of cool-guy bravado, they wholly embrace it. Its a more effective recruiting model than belittling a guy to whom $20 may mean the difference between if his kids eat why he can\u2019t afford a NightForce and BCM AR-15.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I keep telling you guys: Never, NEVER underestimate the enemy.<\/p>\n
