Yeah, I suspect this is right. Far be it from me to give right-wing preppers too much benefit of the doubt (that maybe there is some logic to their illogic), but I suspect their fantasy is just to survive until all their neighbors are dead of earthquake or chemical weapon attack or political unrest or the biblical tribulation or whatever. Once all their neighbors are dead, they can take their stuff. Land, more canned and shelf-stable goods, first aid supplies, etc.
It was war that turned me into a non-survivalist. I just don’t care that much, and the worse it would get, the less I’d care. Previously I could get the whole road warrior thing. Now, I’m just like “who the fuck would want to live through that?”
For me personally, I think it'd be a case of fucking around until I can't extract any fun out of the situation. After that, fuck it, I'm jumping off a cliff.
Sometimes, the only way to win is to not play.
