It also feeds into this idea that you can prepare for the worst, but the human condition when pushed to its limits does not abide by rules.
Everyone loves to think about how they'll handle attackers, but never spend much time thinking about the lack of sleep and how that'll severely impact them. Never how much isolation will destroy so much of their mental state.
Popular media influence of lone wolves surviving and other such content can really prevent people from being aware of the realities of such collapse I suppose!
- ryandrake 3y agoPeople watch too many zombie movies where the protagonist is this lone, handsome, rugged individualist with a gun that has infinite bullets, and every patch of humanity they run into are these nice, civilized survivor camps full of their church friends. Everyone thinks when society collapses, they're gonna be that lone badass. Newsflash: You're not going to be that badass. If you can shoot straight, you'll be forced to become a soldier-slave in some warlord's roving army. If you can't, you'll either be killed or become a sex-slave for that roving army. Either way, 99.9% of the non-murdered population is going to become a slave of some sort if the shit really hits the fan.
