I disagree. Let me look up a checklist of failed states.
Yemen. Libya. Somalia. Syria. DR Congo.
Hmmmm. Exactly the worst countries to live in.
Now let me look up checklists of countries with the highest levels of human development index, life expectancy at birth, and income per capita.
Norway. Sweden. Denmark. Canada. The United States. South Korea. Singapore.
All countries with well established governments and public services infrastructure, and a social safety net (this is somewhat less true for the US).
Most humans living in places without governments and well organized societies live either in the middle of literal warzones, desert wastelands, or are indigenous tribes living far from civilization.
Bunker survival can be nice and pretty for a few years at most, but the idea that modern technology has abolished man's dependence on his community is a fantasy.
