The only thing the paranoid preppers did was raise the price of ammunition.
Going back to COVID. one had to wear a MOPP IV suit and decontaminate everything you touch 24/7, including the interior of your car and the ultimate petri dish, your mobile phone. For the folks who grew a beard and wore a mask, FU, you compromised the mask.
My prepping involves knowing how to make beer/whiskey from the dirt up. I figure anything else I can trade from there. Including your women.
I feel like if we've got to the point where we go back to bartering, I've kind of lost interest in surviving because that means pretty much all of the civilization is gone.
"I need to borrow your gun and one bullet. Actually, I'll be keeping the bullet, but you can have your gun back when I'm finished."
this is so fucking spot on, whew
In hindsight it doesn't feel like it was a proper SHTF moment. Some of the early reactions did make it feel like one but in the end not that much happened where I live. Try to stay away from people for a while and use a mask seemed like the extent of it. Spent a lot more than outdoors than I usually do.
Nothing that doesn't knock out power or wipe out humans quickly on a wide scale will qualify for an apocalypse, and thus only annoy preppers.
So if a zombie outbreak occurred these people would fuck us even worse
On a deeper level I think it's mostly a framework of acceptability some people have built around being antisocial and afraid of everything.
Was there actually news indicating that preppers, as a group, were more likely to be against masking than for it?
I wouldn't be too surprised, but I haven't actually seen any evidence to this effect.
