The selfishness of the doomsday preppers is real but is harmless because the scenarios in which they get to play out their selfishness will never come to pass. They’re harmless in the same way that the rapture crowd is harmless. The rapturists fantasize about airliners full of unbelieving doubters getting their just comeuppance when the Christian pilot is raptured out the cockpit. But it ain’t never gonna happen. Likewise the doomsday preppers look forward to the day when the doubters are either herded into FEMA stadiums or are forced to beg at the doorstep of the doomsdayers’ hidey holes for a few C-ration crumbs. But again, it’s never going to happen. What will happen is what the lady who wrote this piece describes: the local community will rally to meet needs. The doomsday crowd is correct only to the extent that the more people have stocked away some supplies, the less difficult will be the work of the community.
