The average patriot (or prepper) is usually a middle class conservative or libertarian with a tendency towards independent thinking and some experience with economic struggle in their past. Most of us have made something of ourselves from very little, or, we had parents that made something of themselves from very little and we watched as children while they climbed their way up the ladder through hard work and merit.
Which behavior is more bizarre? Being prepared and aware? Or, being willfully ignorant and constantly vulnerable?
Rule 1: Prepare For Others, Not Just Yourself
In the midst of crisis there will come a time when you will have to help other people. You may not like other people, you may not trust other people, you might feel better crawling into a bunker and never dealing with another living soul until the breakdown has run its course. It doesn’t matter. If you have a conscience then you will be faced with the reality of need – Other people’s need.
I agree. “If you have a conscience then you will be faced with the reality of need – Other people’s need.”
Great post. At this point I pretty much refuse to read/engage in any further analysis of “how we got here” unless it includes “what you and your’n oughta be working on right now”. I myself don’t need more analysis. What I believe I need is better VO2 MAX, more water storage, more skills and how to best be positioned for the deprivations, violence, chaos and other troubles as this communist/globalist/end times coup plays out. That first piece about prepping for others is most wise.
