I'm beginning to think it was never about survival, independence, ruggedness, etc...
Maybe it was just about braggadocio and machismo, and their bluff got called.
@thereal_renaissance_man @Blackwolf in the case of those “preppers” who are crying about the pandemic response measures, you hit the nail on the head. Plus, they probably focused on stockpiling firearms instead of food.
For many, it is essentially a way to rationalize gun hoarding.
They give preppers a bad name.
There’s still some who are taking all of this in stride, because they were /actually prepared/.
@thereal_renaissance_man @Blackwolf
And as it happens, that portion of people are being rather quiet right now...
Because they are prepared. And many people aren’t.
They don’t want attention.
@GlytchMeister @Blackwolf
Precisely. The truly prepared see no need to call attention to themselves...
@GlytchMeister @thereal_renaissance_man hopefully I didn't strike a nerve :)
@Blackwolf @thereal_renaissance_man
Nah, those fuckwits deserve every bit of the shit they’re getting. The actual preppers don’t care what’s being said about the idiots, and tend not to care what’s being said about them, too, wrt prepping, so long as it’s not “hey everybody, this guy’s got food!”
