I read the article.
I noted the tired memes.
I also noted the disparaging and disrespectful tone/wording the author uses to frame preppers as kooks.
Thus, it begs the questions: Why are leftists so very opposed to folks being prepared?
Why is the left vehemently opposed to people getting their lives in order so as to be ready for the next big disaster?
Why is it that when people are leery of the gov’t and eschew their assistance, the left sees that as a kind of treason, almost?
The only conclusion I can draw is that leftists know that preppers are free, in a sense. That tiny bit of liberty, possessed by folks not them, is a mortal threat to their agenda.
Why? Because they hate the thought of them and all their liberal friends dieing while conservatives cope and survive.
Being a self reliant as possible is an American trait.
Because it's easier to control dependent people. People with no food, no water, no electricity, no internet (NO GAMING!!!), and especially NO GUNS are very easy to control...

Because it’s thumbing your nose at the cradle-to-grave nanny state that (in their dreams) furnishes your every need and controls your every move.
They take their government VERY seriously!
