So you think that, because disaster might inflict desperation, we're somehow just as bad morally as, say, slave owners? I don't think it's even possible to produce a worse non-sequitur. The two situations aren't remotely equivalent, to begin with; doing something bad in order to survive is not the same as being in comfortable circumstances and still doing something bad. Leaving aside the huge, gaping tu coque fallacy at the heart of what you're saying, it's still an equivocation.
Besides, I'd argue that the way our world is now, we'd still come out better in times of strife than those in the past, just due to our increased globalization and capabilities.

Alright, Mad Max, calm down.

I think the big problem here is that you're assuming things about how we'd act in situations you've never seen us in, and for people you don't really know, based on no evidence, merely because it's convenient. You're doing nothing but bandying about bare assertions and then expecting us to continue as though they're suddenly indisputably true. That's not exactly cogent argumentation.
Besides, food production isn't the local game you seem to think it is; much of our food is produced overseas anyway. Disabling supermarkets is little more than destroying the front end putting a nice presentation on things, not cutting off the supply. You're even factually wrong in your crazy, self serving fantasies.

You're making a lot of amusing assumptions about me, which I think proves my point: you don't know me, which is why you resort to the same dismissive cartoon oversimplification that you do with the rest of the world. Your understanding of how things actually work is so limited, of course you're going to make wild, inaccurate assumptions, because you're so proud of the fact that you're working off of precisely zero information.
I think you've been reminded of this before, but we're not obligated to enable your delusions simply because you have them.
