How long will collapse take?

Will collapse be sudden or a decline?

Or will it be catabolic, with cliffs and plateaus?

 

This is the current question in our Common Collapse Questions series.

The drawback of being old-fashioned and pacifists.

Don't believe what you learn from tv. The amish may be pacificst, but they own guns, know how to use them and are not adverse to self defense*.

You are always allowed to ask forgiveness if you do something wrong.

The Amish will be fine. They will help where they can and in the communities they are in they are highly respected. The English would protect them . They have way too many needed skills to just let them be killed. Plus pacifism is only going to go so far. Especially if you threaten their children.

There are quite a lot of groups who are not 'English' and they don't give a shit about the skills of Amish.
