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?
When I go hiking in areas that preppers have their luxury cabins, I make note of those places on a topographical map. If shit hits the fan, I’m immediately going to those places and waiting until they sleep or are otherwise vulnerable. It’s a loot box guarded by the worst dragons in society.
