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?
Yeah, after reading The Jakarta Method, the concept of Fascism as the mechanisms of imperialism turned inward became very, very obvious. I guess what I’m largely trying to get at is that for all our talk of the horrors of what’s coming, we’re ignoring what’s here. Almost like we keep pointing towards the worse thing we can imagine so we don’t have to face the present. Revolutionary procrastination. :data-laughing:
