I go way back in survivalism, way back and was very glad to see the word prepper start getting used, because it was more mainstream and makes it easier to email articles to my friends and family who used to have a bad image of being a survivalist.
I can’t send these people articles on the “shit” movement, I don’t even want to wade through a lot of reading that has me mentally forming the words that you use.
Do we copy off this stuff and let our kids read it?
Why foul up something for no reason, why make the effort to get dirty, is this hip now?
There is no reason to go adolescent like, and left wing like in the survivalist movement.
The solution for you is simple: Just don’t read the articles. I ask you again why would you read something that has content that you know you will find offensive and then complain about it?
Me I take the view that my Pastor takes. He tells that many a time he has saved a person that has lead a rough and un-Christian life and after they come forward to alter call or after a Baptism he has asked them how do you feel? And more than a few times the answer has come back: “I feel Da#$ GOOD!” He still counts them as a win, though obviously still diamonds in the rough.
“I can’t send these people articles on the “shit” movement, “
That’s twice now you’ve used the word. Sure seems like you have no problems using it or using it on a forum other people’s families and children read.
Why the fuss? Did you simply wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
None of us can change what words or acronyms are used all over the internet, but we can certainly avoid spelling out profane words ourselves, and use other phrases such as “prepping for collapse” or “preparing for The Troubles” etc.
But most people who see the acronym “SHTF” don’t spell out the offensive word, and it’s part of the common lexicon now.
You say you go way back in survivalism.
