Anyone reading these peoples post can easily pick-up the anger in many of them and you will see that it’s not just the Libs that are shocked and infuriated by preppers. Now some the “I’ll take what I want crowd” when confronted will often back off saying things like “I was just joking”, but I don’t believe it. When I read their post I can’t help but think of this quote from one of my favorite westerns ’Open Range’: “Most times a man will tell you his bad intentions if you listen, let yourself hear.” I’ve ‘heard’ their intentions and they aren’t good.
The third type that I warn about, but which are not discussed in the article are those who wish to bring God’s Armageddon into the discussion as if they know that it will be God’s will should some catastrophe befall us. They claim this despite the fact that the history of man is full of direr times which were caused by nature or man himself. History has shown us all too well that men do not need God to help them muck things up to a point were their fellows cry out for God to end it all and relieve them of their misery.
There will be many in this ‘its God’s will’ crowd who will want to see you punished as they will see your prepping as you trying to dodging God’s punishment. This group along with the “I don’t prep, but you should share” group will be among the first to report you and your ‘hoarding’ to the powers that be in their efforts to make sure you too suffer just as they do. The first group because as I said they see you as trying to escape the rightful wrath of God (as if they know the Lord’s mind) and the second because you proved them wrong.
You can be fairly certain that all three groups will hate you as they will be quick to blame you for the ‘troubles’ because in their twisted way of thinking your prepping brought the ‘troubles’ and therefore you need to be punished for your transgression.
As the article points out you need to keep in mind that OPSEC is not just for your Lib neighbors many people that you may think of as being conservative thinkers will be just as dangerous.
We have talked a lot about safety in numbers and that is so true, just remember that not all enemies sail under their true colors.
Beware these people listen to their words carefully and “Listen, let yourself hear.” what they are saying.
Preppers’ PING!
My neighbor and I share storage space.
Oh, I had a liberal “hoarding” money in a 401k when Obama was elected, and I told him that he was a hypocrite, and that I was betting against the markets supporting his 401K because Obama was going to trash all that ultimately. He looked at me and gave me a hypocrite capitalist lesson in the needs to save money, all the while attacking capitalists at the DNC and french kissing communists there.
Folkes in AMerica need to take their heads out of their a$$es.
“can you imagine the chants of “Hoarder! Hoarder!” from those standing on the street in front of your house? “
I hear that everyday
I’ve also seen “type 3” justifying their opposition to pre-trib rapture with “why should we escape God’s wrath when the rest of the world is going to suffer”.
Another observation:
When I broached the prepping/collapse subject with my lib-in-law (whom we’ve already decided we’re taking in post-SHiFT despite her libness),
her response was “well, then, we’ll all be in the same boat”.
I really couldn’t get any further clarification out of her as to why this was a “good thing”, or even an answer as to why she (and we, and everyone else) shouldn’t be prepared for it.
Would be followed quickly by the sounds of chambers being loaded and safety catches being switched to the "off" position. Anyone who fails to pay heed to that may well end up as part of the food supply.

You just have to give them a big ol’ wolfish grin, look them up and down and say that you are open to exploring all manner of maintaining your daily protein requirements.
The first rule of Prep Club is: you do not talk about Prep Club.
Having said that, I fully acknowledge the usefulness of prepping.
How can I cook my ribeyes without the whole neighborhood knowing?
The running generator will be a giveaway also.
I knew I bought those guns an ammo for some reason.
They'll have to pry those ribeyes from my cold dead hands!
I will say that most Californians will talk about being prepared in an emergency.
In fact, our neighborhood has had meetings to discuss our preparations.
My lazy-assed, garage dwelling neighbor is 37 years old and lives with his mommy. He got a SS award for being “bipolar” (which IMO is a skittles and rainbows diseases that lawyers use to f#ck the system and profit).
Anyhow, I’m looking forward to watching his fat ass starve slowly if the SHTF. None of my neighbors know squat about my basement stash. If they figure it out and come for it, they’ll find out about the ammo stash shortly thereafter.
” can you imagine the chants of “Hoarder! Hoarder!” from those standing on the street in front of your house? “
That may be nothing more than poor English skills on the part of the crowd, coupled with the red light in the Author’s window...
;)
We need to decide where Kartographer’s Gulch will be located.
bflr
None of my neighbors know what I have because I can’t feed all of them. I know from experience they don’t even prepare for a hurricane until the day before when there is little left in stores, and that’s what they do every time, and a number just get in their car and leave. I can’t fix the mindset they have.
You've been reading my tagline again! ;~)
