Being a prepper is a consumer activity.
Conversely trying to prepare for things that could occur by, for instance, getting first aid training, ham radio license, etc. is a communal activity "how could I be an asset to my community in times of trouble?" I think it's telling that in the cold war the "prepper" activity was putting together civil defense groups. In this century it's building a bunker full of guns and spinning fantasy about protecting your hoard of stuff from the mob.
- blitzar 2y agoMy plan for the apocalypse is to take down a "prepper".
- beng-nl 2y agoLike how humans’ strategy to eat protein is to take down vegetarian animals - let them do all the hard work and then use the result yourself :-)
