    Would be nice if all militant preppers get rid of their electronic devices like this

    At least one extremist echo chamber fewer.

      What the hell is wrong with being ready for when the shit hits the fan? You know its coming. I keep a years worth of shelf stable food and plenty of 5 gallon jugs of water. That shit came in damn handy during the covid freakout. Post covid, I also keep at least one month worth of toilet paper, I didn’t forsee THAT shortage lol.

        Don’t get me wrong I also have a pantry and I appreciate it much. Also we’re all survivors of the toilet paper wars and ridden by fears of shortages in the shops.

        In my opinion prepper is a much too general term. On the one hand there are meal-preppers, pantry enthusiasts and guys with a bigger than life freezer and a few storage racks in the basement.

        On the other hand guys with bunkers, emergency plans, a stock of weapons who already living more their “Fallout” life than real life.
        People who are so uber-prepared that they already live in their own world with their own rules. Then it’s a little step to protect that world at all costs, even against the state.
        Often combined with leaning towards conspiracy theories or xenophobia.
        That’s the people I mean.

          You speak the truth, but man, having a bunker would be fucking cool.
