In light of the recent unpleasantness, residents of metropolitan Detroit and Chicago would be well advised to consider relocating to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It has a low crime rate, low housing prices, and a positive demographic outlook. The culture resembles that of the American Northeast from approximately a half-century ago. In my opinion, Northerners would feel more at home here than in such other popular destinations as Florida, Texas or Idaho. If there was a true breakdown of society, note that the Upper Peninsula is separated from lower Michigan by the Mackinac Bridge, and from the urban belt of Chicagoland by an impenetrable morass of forest and cranberry bogs two hundred miles wide. If you are curious, first visit on vacation. You might be pleasantly surprised ...

Fascinating, thanks!

I didn't know that cranberries were grown there

It's the land of Ocean Spray!

Your analysis of the Western Cape is quite illuminating. Even in an unstable nation, it is worth knowing that islands of civilization can be preserved.

Absolutely, I think that is another thing worth learning from them: political concentration as in the Western Cape can be immensely useful in continued survival

No idea why, but I thought Ocean Spray was in the Northeast

Sounds like a way of life worth preserving. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Mackinac Bridge is wired up with explosives - just in case.

Did you see the article in The Telegraph (London) on 15 September extolling the virtues of UK retirees moving to Cape Town?

I haven’t fully read it yet, but was surprised to see it

imagine how bad London has to be to make Cape Town appealing

Currently constructing wood and barbed wired defensive units I can stack and deploy in little time. I've two designs. One lays flat, staked down, to hinder speedy crossing of open areas. The other is a cheval de frise laced with barbed wire. Usable to block my drive. Cheap, easy to build, stored out back of the shed until needed. Things aren't bad enough to make permanent such obstacles.

You wrote this entire piece and not once did you use the word "black", "nigger", "browns", "foreigners", or any other racial indicators to describe the ACTUAL problem. No it isn't fucking "commies" or "Democrats" or "corruption" IT'S BROWN PEOPLE.

Whites are simply going to have to go full Viking Warrior if we are to survive. This milquetoast "love thine enemy" nonsense is just getting us all killed.

Why don't white South Africans go on offense, instead of playing defense forever? You hear "4 dead in farm attack" all the time, you never hear "27 people injured, 5 dead in shanty town attack". I understand the concern about legal problems, but that's a force resolution problem too. Corrupt, incompetent cops can't be much of a threat, witnesses and even prosecutors can be dealt with. The gangs are taking over? Form your own gang. You can't win a defensive war and eventually you run out of room to retreat.

Well they formed Orania, and in 2021 shot a bunch of rioters before retaking the goods stolen

The big threat has long been that if they do anything reactive and violent, the proverbial American carrier group will show up and shit that down in the name of anti-racism. That might finally be changing

Fair point. That's basically what happened in Rhodesia.

The borders would have to have been left open a lot longer than they were for America to become South Africa. Yes, that is the left’s goal, but they have not achieved it. Far from it.

It is more that our issues are similar and rooted in the same things than that we will end up in the exact same position as them

If the majority of the country were the worst imaginable poor people, we would be in the situation that South Africa is in. Luckily we are a long ways from that.
