LOL, imagine two hundred and eighty million Americans grabbing their guns, some food and water, and getting the hell out of [insert local hellhole]. That would meet my definition of anarchy to a tee.

The morons on such forums are usually the biggest threat to their fellow citizens in unstable or hasardous situations. They are prepared for all sorts of black-and-white situations like spontaneous shoot-outs and such; not for the sort of gradual and unexpected political disintegration that usually creates havoc in nations and in the long run causes anarchy if people don't (re)organise.

The wise man looks for ways to control anarchy, not increase it. Guns may come into play occasionally, but I think building networks is much more important. The real antidote against anarchy is building alternative forms of social organisation in which civilised life is preserved or restored. The Hobbesian aproach is a dead end.
