> the frequency of people saying stuff like "I loaded Wikipedia onto this battery powered Raspberry Pi in a Pelican case, now I'm ready to rebuild civilization if it collapses," and seemingly believing it. As someone who inched closer into the doomsday prepper scene before swerving far away from it, I assure you that people in that subculture have a lot of unrealistic beliefs about their own capacities and resources. I don't think it's Wikipedia's fault that they (and you) are taking a quote about Wikipedia's never-ending goal and interpreting it as if it is their description of what they are. An even worse example of deceptive marketing would be a compact folding multitool marketed as "the only tool you'll ever need." Even with that, I'd say that if you actually believe that you can rebuild civilization with that tool solely on the basis of that marketing slogan, then that's your fault as much as it is the marketers. And a minor nitpick: the standard prepper info archives also include collections of various survival guides and resources that are specifically written for these kinds of purposes.
