re: #38 Shiplord Kirel, live from behind wingnut lines
That was a very good article.
Lots of apocalypticism in the US - I remember it when I lived there. It’s a constant thread running through American culture. “The end is nigh!” and all that jazz.
And you know what? All the prepping in the world ain’t gonna mean shit if something like this happens one fine day:
That’s an extinction level event right there. And all the AR-15’s, all the dehydrated foodstuffs, all the stores of water won’t mean anything if our planet becomes a dead rock floating in the vastness of space.
As the article said, they’re prepping for the catastrophe they want - not the catastrophe they’re going to get. What they’re looking forward to is a variant of the cozy catastrophe. en.wikipedia.org
