If the lefty’s fell under my leadership, then their chance of survival is great. I would eliminate Arty though, because he would be a very weak link.

Riley and Ripper make a pact no to fight. Undies and Homo fight amongst themselves. Leos is to busy humping camels. Shill looks at Arty and starts to LOL so had it knocks him out cold. Arty, sits on him..

Clevey and Ati have this Kumbaya moment, as stand behind Jesus. Zombie just runs.

LMD tries to blindside house. House used his well known Oriental bullshit and breaks his knee cap, then kicks him in the ball.

El Jorge tries taking down Rob, but Rob has the magic Celtics 4 leaf clover to use on Jorge. Rob takes Jorge and sticks him in trash can. Rob and Bushy make a pact cause of the fanhood. Phuture and Dictator say fuck it and just leave.
Your screenplay needs work.

The necessity of anthropology is heightened even more during crises events.
If we are being serious for a second, the need for *community* is heightened during crises events.

Most people who are truly anti-Jewish (not neutral or America First, but actually anti-Jewish) are unpopular by nature, not linked to procreation, not especially religious, loners, the kids that were bullied in school, etc...

Not exactly foundational members of a functioning community.
You’re not taking history into consideration.
Please google nations where Jews have been kicked out of.
People groups and their respective behavior will be more pronounced in a crises situation. Behavioral uniqueness, religion and mores don’t automatically go out the window during a crises.

I have no idea what this is supposed to be in response to. In crises that admit of time and space, people congregate mostly as a function of trust and power.

Actual anti-Jewish bigots are extremely unpopular in society, but it's not because of their political beliefs. It's virtually always for other reasons (small/frail, socially retarded, intellectually sterile, overdeveloped sense of entitlement, etc...), which then sometimes morph into various forms of bigotry, due to anger at a world that done dem' wrong.

The short, smelly, loner in your high school class isn't doing anything brave or powerful in a crisis, because he's going to be going it alone after not finding allies and dying solo to a roving band of barbarians, orcs, or whatever. Solo players get eaten first.

Keep in mind this board is not representative of the general population. In the general population, for every one of you there are probably 10 of us, at least.

We have recent history of crises situations to evaluate the behavior of various people groups
Hurricane Katrina, Haiti’s failed state, Venezuelan economic collapse. To say that the current moral state and level of knowledge a people group has is of no consequence during a crises is pushing it.

A particular people group will put their women and children first. Another people group will easily descend into cannibalism etc.

I intentionally created 4 groups each with subtle differences in values which I believe will play heavily in a crises situation. The neutralists are proving me true because they are agnostic and believe that man is a blank slate which accumulates s values and can easily discard values in a crises situation to fit Maslow hierarchy of needs.

And that’s why they are going to fail miserable.

In Star Trek Terms:

Data
Mexican Riker
Worf
Geordi

vs.

Ferengi w/honor
Normal Ferengi
Sulu
Generic Ensign with a Red Shirt

You need some God-tier plot armor to make it work.
I have no idea who any of these characters are.

Which one is me in this scenario?

Thanks in advance.

The anti-Jewish group doesn't have women and children (or friends, community) in the first place, because most of them have been forcefully rejected by society.

That's the point.

It's not Big Team Anti-Jewish vs. [Some other team]

It's more like:

Single Stormfront Mod in Idaho vs. [Some other team], AND
Guy in Georgia who didn't have a date to Prom in Georgia vs. [Some other team], AND
Guy in West Virginia who is in the 15th percentile financially because of reasons TOTALLY not related to him vs. [Some other team]

And so on...

I'm agnostic (or indifferent) on Israel/Jews unless they run afoul (or help) me and mine.

I'm not agnostic or indifferent on about a million other things that actually relate more to survival and society.

The fact you don't understand that difference is a little weird.

Data: Bush
Mexican Riker: LNS
Worf: LMD
Geordi La Forge: You

Basically, you fix things and keep us in good spirits with a positive attitude. A glue guy if you will.

Spock: Fascinating. You have an efficient intellect, superior physical skills, no emotional impediments. There are Vulcans who aspire all their lives to achieve what you've been given by design.

Data: Hm. - You are half Human?

Spock: Yes.

Data: Yet you have chosen a Vulcan way of life?

Spock: I have.

Data: In effect, you have abandoned what I have sought all my life.
