I think I’m circling a concept you could call stack survivalism, as opposed to regular fully off-grid survivalism. Where you plan against scenarios of various sorts of non-robustness and jankiness rather than full-on, theatrical charismatic megacollapse.

(like “things ordered from China not getting through” or “rolling blackouts” or “toilet paper shortage”) The stack is far more robust that collapsniks secretly hope it is, but far less robust than “this is fine” denialosts/normalcy larpers.

Early Covid was very revealing: in a crisis, you need time more than money, and ability to get things done in ways besides paying for them. Like being on twitter and getting early warning to beat the stock-up rush by 2-4 weeks. Or having a 3D printer and able to print shields.

Regular prepping is like a mix of waterfall planning for a very specific scenario (Costco 5-year food supply pallet anyone?) and Soviet 5-year plan command ec0nomy mindset at first estimation scale. It is overkill in anything short of a sudden step-function overnight collapse.
