Or fight fascists to prevent a doomsday. Instead of voting them into office.
There's a significant percentage of preppers who want doomsday to come, because they think they will get to be a leader & have an "I told you so" moment, instead of the community seizing the spoils of their preparation.
And most preppers prepped for the wrong doomsday. Many got screwed during covid because they only prepped for war. It would also be shit if you prepped your entire life, spent thousands on it, then it to never happen. And most preppers think they prepped properly, but they lack the intelligence and/or skills to actually use everything they have or they forgot crucial components.
They rioted because they couldn't go to Dennys or get professional haircuts, they weren't prepared for anything.
I have to say, i was brexit prepping for a while and when covid hit it was a little satisfying sitting there with my well stocked pantry and decent stocks of toilet roll while other people were queueing out of the supermarkets
Fair, but that's not doomsday prepping. I also have a well stocked pantry in case the payment system gets hacked and shops can't open, or something similar. That's always smart, to prepare for at least a week food wise. But that's different than hoarding war meals, weapons, combat gear, water purification systems, diesel generator and loads of fuel, etc. in your backyard bunker.
