- gnu8 9y agoHow does the fact that the preppers are rich argue against being wary of them?
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoWell there's a general perception of preppers as being paranoid, gun-toting, aggressive hillbillies, and the fact that it's often done by the top 1% shows that it's kind of an inaccurate stereotype.

- jsjohnst 9y agoI’m not sure where you got that perception, it’s certainly not the general one in my opinion. Breaking it down... Paranoid, yes. Gun-toting, usually. Aggressive, sometimes. Hillbillies is where I have to call it though. I’d argue there’s as many rich as there are anything else, if not more. I don’t know about you, but I’d be a little wary of folks preparing for a doomsday. Not saying I’d never consider it, but generally they are going to be a bunch uneasy with others, hence I’m going to be cautious around them.
