In a societal collapse, likely national borders would become highly unenforced. As they do so, likely whatever co-opted media still exists would exude a strong backward confidence in its military infrastructure.
The next thing likely to happen is child abductions. Not those highly protected, just the "easy pickings". This achieves a few things for the enslavers: desperate desire for high controls, trauma-based confusion, new ISBEs for indoctrination.
The last apparent vestiges of the enslaver system will be gated communities. If they siloh themselves it's good news. There will of course be underground cities, and likely a larger number of drone strikes. These will be picking off communities that seem stronger, more independent. Some foreign country will get blamed for these strikes.
The "safe" people will likely be more in campers, have a few guns (even if simply for hunting game). They will not necessarily have established property. Just a number of healthy adults with direct control of their assets.
Make of that what you will. I think survival will be adaptation toward this outcome.
I agree! But there are places you can have a parcel and it not be monitored or restricted according to their ridiculous things they like to make you do or not do in your own property...I'm for them not being able to pull off what they plan, but children are already indoctrinated...remember they come in with memories wiped, and from cradle to grave they are poisoned, traumatized, indoctrinated into a system that wants you to 'serve' to 'pay' attention to them, be afraid and just do as you're told. Their lives are scripted up to ever detail, there's even an office for 'coincidences'. There ARE no coincidences. We all have our scripts unless we revoke that script and contract so we're not living out our lives on default which is what we do most times is just create by default.
