Whenever I see reddit preppers talking about their preparation for when “shit hits the fan”, I can’t help but notice they seem to think they’ll survive on their little homestead either alone or with their nuclear family. They don’t seem too worried about the threat of civilization collapsing, they’re just excited that they’ll get the chance to larp as lords ruling over their lands.
But without any kind of community organization or serious wealth to hire a private militia, aren’t they just as fucked as the rest of us? Like, these people are going to be the very first targets of roving bands of raiders no matter how many tacticool, tricked out AR-15s they own, right?
I think it’s a pipe dream.

I think so.
My ideal scenario for World War III is for some extraordinary small amount time there’s an astronomically bright light. It lasts for ~1 millisecond maybe? The light will be so bright it won’t matter if my eyes are closed at that exact moment. And then I’m atomized because I was at ground zero.
