The moment I start learning the names of my neighbors I get: “What are you a cop? Scram!” or just get shot at the front porch. The moment I ask them their trade I get arrested by cops they called for “being too nosy.”
“That's my stuff! Don't touch it! Stop trespassing my property!”
“Do you have a license for this garden?”

Self defense requires Gun praxis, and bean storage food aid.

Once those mentalities above are fixed, there‘s is no doomsday preparation that will take place.

Making knocking on doors and interrogating people would be weird but you can go to people where they are and be friendly. Wanna be some old timers go to the Eagles, or Elks. Younger people? No one at the Pub thinks it's weird if you go "so what to do you do for a living?"

so what to do you do for a living?

And I get “None of your business, glowie.”

That particular advice here is wrong because comrades can learn skills and adapt to new syndicates. More importantly is to earn the trust of the community and solidify than to know their names and specialties. But learning to mutual aid takes a zeitgeist awakening (advice #2). If anything, learning what comrades in your community prefer doing and not is more important than learning names.

Unless you live someplace truly bizarre, I'm sensing Hyperbole.

You really don't go out to pubs, don't yah?

Folks go to pubs to relax, merry, reminiscent. The last thing they want to talk about is the 997 they just punched out from. Do you like talking about your job everywhere?

And why do I have to know you're Bob from accounting? Are your counting skills going to seize the means of the exploitators?

I can't imagine a more common perfunctory part of meeting someone new than asking about their occupation to the point that articles get written encouraging people not to for a variety of reasons. "Lets stop defining people by their occupation" etc etc.

Here’s are better greetings:

Hiya comrade! Were making pizza today at the canteen! Bring plates!
The permaculture cooperative is meeting today at noon. Just bring your hat, I’m bringing refreshments.
Rifle maintenance class at 0900 ’morrow

No idea why you are being down votes here and I wish people could explain why.

Formee in doomsday I don't really want to trust anyone.

No idea either. I am an anarchist, I can only help the willing. I know where the willing meet. Canvassing never works. Mentalities have to change for actual change to give.

You are welcome to @ them.
