Chaos in Cordoba, Argentina, as cops go on strike

From Argentine expat Ferfal:

I'm no friend of LEO's, I'll admit. But what happens in a devolved society like Argentina where suddenly there are no cops? PARTY TIME! Every conceivable store gets looted, residences are broken into, and people scramble to defend themselves against a total ungluing of civilization. A common meme in the survivalist community is that the planet is nine meals away from chaos. Actually, only one thing stands between "civilization", even a degraded form of it, and chaos: cops.

Considering how many cops are corrupt or burned out, how they tend to see everybody as a potential suspect, blah blah blah, that's a scary idea. It makes one wonder how Old Western towns got along without LEO's, but the towns had one thing that the world today lacks: Morality. Parents taught kids morals, the community reinforced it, and everybody got along. Today, the parents are absent, either at work or on drugs, and kids raise each other. Lord of the Flies time. Especially since the last people with morals are dying off. Once they're gone, it's likely that Western Civilization will bite the dust. The resources have been depleted, the population of the planet is grossly inflated far beyond carrying capacity, so now it's time to pay the piper.

Stephen Hawking, one of the smartest people alive today, recently said that humanity will likely go extinct by the year 3000, ie 1000 years from now. I would be surprised if it lasted until the year 2100, 100 years from now. We are 100% dependent on technology that in turn depends on resources that will start to run dry in about 20-30 years. Without our technology, we're goners. We have evolved to depend on it. First comes looting for TVs, then the electricity goes away so in the next stage people grab food, then there's no more food so they eat each other, then even that is depleted, so they will simply die. We are as amoral as Romans were in AD 400. By AD 700 Rome was a ghost town. Rome had a population of 1 million in AD 300. History does repeat.
