“Yeah but he is in one place. That fortress idea doesn’t work forever. Somehow, all those people have to get fed and making 10,000 people dig a latrine for you isn’t going to work.
No matter how safe you think you are in your castle, you are not. You are at the mercy of the mob. All of the survivalist literature(see Frugal Squirrel) is based on the premise that any intruding mobs are small in nature. They all realize that a strong concerted effort is going to succeed.”
I think that you take the movies too seriously. America has suffered through a lot of catastrophes but I’m not aware of anything in the American reality that supports the Hollywood visions.
Do you envision warlords and fortresses with 10,000 laborers and such, should we be stockpiling high school shoulder pads, and hockey masks, and black leather clothes?
Not to mention 98% of “the mob” will be running the other way with big brown spots in their pants about 3 seconds after the first .223 or .308 round goes whizzing past their ear!
They’ll run good! Real, real good!

You forgot the backless chaps, mohawks and plenty of pink, yellow, green, and red dye for the wigs.
Oh, and the motorcyles...
