prepping for short interruptions in municipal services and possibly job insecurity = smart prepping for nuclear war = lol buy some shades and go outside and hug your loved ones as you watch the world come down but this requires a non prepper mindset remember that preppers are excited about nuclear war that eliminates 98% of the population because that's the only way they'll be the most fuckable person in the room

we hung out on a prepper ham net for a while and it was cute solar oven and battery power stuff until they got into a "ok shtf, whats the first thing you do" scenario and one guy replied "Get some gas by walking around my neighborhood with a pistol and a gas can" if poo poo hits the fan, shoot all preppers on sight before they shoot you

it's not terribly surprising that a lot of tech workers also get into a prepper mentality because eagerly accelerating the collapse of society is in the job description
