  • Depends on your model. If you believe in the movies, yeah, but that’s not how the end of the world works. We’ve seen it with COVID, countless revolutions and wars, you’ll probably still get up and go to work during the apocalypse, it will just suck more. Being able to help yourself and your community get through it will be extremely helpful.

    Realistically you don’t need a years worth of bucket food and a million rounds of ammo, this isn’t Oregon trail. Having knowledge and experience is far more valuable. Learn how to properly clean and store water, how to live/travel day to day without a car (you have a bike right?), go backpacking and camping, potentially learn how to avoid surveillance if you think things are getting kinda judgemental.

    Make friends with your neighbors, people don’t actually become psychotic marauders when the power goes out. There are countless stories from hurricane Katrina where the police just assumed everyone would murder each other and ultimately got in the way of people just trying to help each other survive and rebuild.




  • Yeah I’m becoming increasingly nervous with the blue states systematically trying to disarm everyone and the red states are trying to whip everyone into a traitorous frenzy over the dumbest shit while arming everyone with a pulse.

    Otoh, and this probably sounds absolutely fucking nuts, I’ve found republicans tend to understand “strength” and they are strangely respectful of liberal and leftist gun owners because that’s a dynamic they can comprehend. It’s not a good state of affairs but it’s better than them believing they can just run things because they’re the only ones with “strength”
