Aren't these the same folks out protesting that they can't go get their haircut?
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoNo, I doubt there's much overlap.
- big_youth 7y agoYes, at least in Austin. The protest were led by Alex Jones who pushes prepper gear and related lifestyle products yet they broke after 4 weeks.
- jvanderbot 7y agoTo cook up a connection to the two concepts (prepping and reopening cities), apply "distrust of government" and season with "individual liberties"
- lurquer 7y agoSurely you don't really think the protests were about haircuts? Perhaps you do... There have been other examples of people being utterly out-of-touch with the plight of the little people. Marie Antoinette, they say, was confused about why people were protesting about bread shortages when there was so much cake to eat.
- icebraining 7y agoYou've fallen for republican propaganda.
- lurquer 7y agoRepublican?! Trump is the dumbass that encouraged shutdowns in the first place. Is everything in your worldview filtered through US partisanship? This idiotic overreaction transcends poltics and has been worldwide. It will be in the history books next to Salem Witch Trials, Tulip Mania, and other popular delusions.
- icebraining 7y agoRepublican as in anti-monarchy, not the US party.
- lurquer 7y agoHa. Of course. My apologies.
- thedream 7y agoThe article is about affluent "Silicon Valley"-type preppers -- did you read it? You seem to be confusing that concept with some kind of straw(wo)man meme you found elsewhere.
