RICH PREPPERS
OMG!!!LOL!!!  Other unknown text abbreviations mirroring mirth and astonishment!!!  I’d been on a pretty austere book budget these last few months, but a week ago the pre-Christmas shopping Amazon commissions came in and thank you wonderful minions!  I’d been surviving on $60 a month and this last one was $150.  So I treated myself to a better class of paper books AND added a bonus of Kindle book buying.  The first one I started reading was “The Dark Times-Part One: The Beginning” by Jerry D Young.  And right there was the reason for the opening sentence.  This guy is a frigging astronaut on his own planet.  Not just Prepper Porn, but Stupid Rich Prepper Porn In Comic Book Fantasy Levels.  Page after page of insane listings of extreme spending to prep.  I’m talking about a FLEET of custom made vessels to go get spices just to warm things up.  The buying spree, not warming things up with spicy hot spices.  The spices from Indonesia.   Custom designed battle rifles with hundreds of thousands of magazines and an ammunition factory to stockpile millions of rounds of each caliber.  Then, after all that, he spills another astonishing brain fart.  Survivalists are crazy bastards, only intent on overthrowing the government.  But preppers, ah, wonderful preppers are the serious ones.  The smart ones.  The ones who will survive.

Needless to say, I about near passed a bloody stool.  Any survivalist worth his or her salt avoids confronting the government, fully and properly paranoid enough to realize that is Threat One and to be avoided at all costs.  Militia Morons might want another government, not survivalists.  We can institute one of our liking after this one implodes.  On its own, without our help.  Preppers are those that want to survive in middle class comfort and somehow magically continue that level of living indefinitely ( how to do so is usually treated with unrealistic expectations ).  They think even a civilization collapse is nothing more than unworthy poor people dying off and leaving them alone ( a propeller beanie cap tip to Russell on that one ).  A survivalist knows civilization collapse is coming, knows it will be a 95% die off and knows there won’t be any resources left to rebuild with at anywhere near 19^th or even 17^th century levels and the best to hope for is surviving 500+ years of another Dark Ages ( humanity surviving, given the resource loss-it is definitely going to be an evolution bottleneck given how slowly soil rebuilds naturally ).  And throwing money at the problem doesn’t increase your odds all that much.  Thinking it does freezes you in the current paradigm and will definitely cloud your thinking for the worse.  And publishing religious level worship towards rich preppers is information at its worse.  Information without wisdom.  It was a cheap novel to buy, so I‘m still reading it, but I fear my soul will pay a higher price.
