Never works that way. Those who know how to game the system continue to game the system. Those unfortunates who depend upon them for survival suffer.

The wrong people always die.

If there was some natural catastrophe that destroyed what little infrastructure we have, prepper types would be the first to be victimized by organized street gang types. Self sufficient individuals in small towns would watch half of their children die despite the victory garden in the back yard. Anyone with a functioning large scale farm would be appropriated by government or abandoned to the wolves.

Only the most ruthless, selfish "survive at the cost of everyone else" types would come out on the back end. The exact same people you would hope to cull from the herd would be all that remained of the herd.

Old folks and kids, they would be the first victims. Adaptable ghetto rats and trailer shit would inherit the earth.

This is a spot on assessment.

Put me in Great Leader and I’ll make sure the right people die of agonizing starvation.
And generational punishments.

There would be a Great Purge of wannabe tough guys for sure, but out of that purge would emerge a few legit Warlords, bringing the Lamentations to those who've earned it. Would you be their Nebuchadnezzar?

All it would take for the inner cities to collapse and descend into anarchy would be the EBT card system to permanently fail and become inaccessible.

If we had a society that was willing to put violent criminals in jail, mentally impaired people who are dangerous into supervised treatment and execute habitual capital criminals you wouldn't need to starve anyone because half the people who currently live the "thug life" would realize risk vs reward no longer justifies shenanigans.

There is a reason Switzerland doesn't have crips n bloods and it isn't because there isn't any black people and they haven't heard any rap music. It is because as a society and a country they don't tolerate half of the criminal shit we tolerate.

Large segments of our population actually embrace that shit. Because of a movie, the real Henry Hill was a f-ing celebrity and he was a serious POS criminal, but because he sold out even bigger POS criminals he was seen as something other than the "f over everyone I can" career criminal that he was.

Ray Liotta played him in a movie and suddenly he's a sympathetic character and the real Henry Hill is doing spots on Howard Stern. Don't get me wrong, I love Goodfellas, Scarface, Casino and the rest of the genre, but I understand they are movies and even when it's based upon true events I view it as mostly fiction and remember the real people don't look like Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci or Ray Liotta.
