What even becomes of us now? What recourse do we have?

What’s going to happen to us?

Are we going to die?

Yes it’s a reality and their advice is honestly solid. Here’s some maps/statistics showing gun violence in the US in 2024 from the gun violence archives.. If you look at their dropdown menu, there’s a tab specifically for seeing just the last 72 hours that is currently 10 pages long. If you’re looking for reasoning on how that environment comes to be, you might have a read of Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler.. You can find free pdf versions with a quick internet search. There’s also a second book called Parable of the Talents.

Thanks for an honest and informative reply.

I guess I’m lucky in that I’m not particularly tied down anywhere. If I found myself in that situation, I’d just leave. A visa to a more developed, civilised country like Thailand or Chile isn’t that hard to get, right?

Or is leaving equivalent to ‘letting them win’?

Leaving being “letting them win” is something only the most privileged believe. It doesn’t matter, your life comes first.
