      2/ This. Any time I post about ANYTHING I get a half dozen griefers "well, ok, maybe you've got food but if there's a disaster / war / etc a militia / warband / etc is just going to steal it from you, lol, good luck, you're gonna get raped and killed"https://twitter.com/pozorvlak/status/1327928846809767936 …

      I get a lot of "Why bother preparing? You're screwed either way in the worst-case scenario." And sure, that's true. But the second-, third- and fourth-worst scenarios are still pretty bad, and I can do something about those. https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1327436743788752896 …

      3/ Obviously saying such a thing to some internet stranger does not constitute useful advice (not that "lol, give up" could ever be useful), so why do they do it? Extinguishing / sharing anxiety, I assume. Some kid in the city or suburbs is upset with his own precarious life >

      4/ ...dislikes the implicit hierarchy where some people are more prepared and some are less, and so he tries to erase that distinction to lessen his own status anxiety / survival anxiety by trying to round them all in to the same bin.

      5/ This is basically identical to Sailor's Law of Female Journalism: low status (i.e. ugly) women frame things so that they're not low status. TJIC's law of male non-preppers: the unprepared frame things so that they're no worse off than people with skills and tools.

      6/ Yep. I'm not prepared bc I think a nuclear war is likely. I'm prepared bc (a) it's fun, and (b) ice storm and 1-week power outage / unemployment / recession / etc is likely.https://twitter.com/mamalionpack/status/1328033087196950528 …

      Lol, I've heard that before--But if they don't, you don't starve to death. Besides, you never know when something like a bad storm will fuck up your supply chain; it's not just a matter of a total apocalypse.

      7/ Indeed. In the best case scenario, EVERYONE is fine. In the worst case scenario, EVERYONE is !@#-ed. It's the middle scenarios that separate the groups.https://twitter.com/mamalionpack/status/1328033087196950528 …

          As soon as anyone mentions prepping someone else instantly replies with these magically self-organizing militias, which are hell-bent on taking out preppers, and yet are somehow also void of the same scenario as the prepper they're going to attack. Really makes you think. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1328032370474315776 …

          Lots of Brits made it through WW2 because they had Anderson Shelters... and on some timelines they would have needed their gas masks too. And then there are the Swiss:https://original.antiwar.com/bwalker/2012/02/01/how-the-swiss-opted-out-of-war/ …

          There’s TEOTWAKI prepping which starts as slightly ridiculous and goes up from there. Then there’s ice storm/wildfire/hurricane/unemployment prepping, which is prudent depending on your circumstances.
