They must view refugees as people too stupid or cowardly to “withstand” or “prepare,” or as ravening hoards who want to take their property in particular, or as both. They don’t realise this makes preppers the monsters the rest of the world will have to rebuild around.

The prepper mindset is anti-society. They don’t *want* to rebuild past survivalism; they want to be feudal despots of their own depraved little fiefdoms. Of course they don’t believe refugees contribute positively to society; it’s the literal opposite of what they plan to do.

And as they view themselves as the good guys, unique in their secret awareness that society is Evil and deserves to fall, anyone who wants to rebuild or contribute to it - which means taking away their chance to be freaky wilderness cult leaders - is bad.

The "stand your ground" mentality... I am surrounded by such people here in rural NC. Honestly, I've been invited to join one close by, and I'm amazed by their self-sufficiency. The difference is guns. Americans are armed to the teeth--they don't have to run...

They _think_ they don't have to run. BIG difference.
