The BBC article, which perhaps you didn't read, stated that PREPPERS ARE EMBARRESSED TO BE THOUGHT OF AS SURVIVALISTS --- that is absolutely pathetic.
Survivalists will one day be the humans who continue civilization.
DON'T you EVER tell ME what to THINK, thank you --- I have NO interest in a buncha yuppie preppers who are embarressed by serious preparations for TEOTWAWKI.
YOUR opinion is different from mine. YOU are entitled to YOUR opinion.
And you sure ain't gonna tell me that I ain't entitled to mine.
GOOD BYE.
A British reporter states that preppers are embarrassed to be thought of as survivalists. That didn’t come directly from any of the preppers interviewed, did it? I know one of the men interviewed, and he doesn’t have that view at all.
My experiences online with “survivaists” have taken the same tone as yours’ for the most part. One forum had people sounding gleeful (I can’t think of any other way to describe it) at the thought of being the only ones with food and watching everyone else suffer.
It just doesn’t make sense for so-called survivalists to rip to shreds people who are on the same journey. I don’t understand the harshness and ridicule. Very short-sighted, in fact and quite unbecoming.
