Steve Huffman (spez) is a well-known, big time doomsday pepper.

Some of his quotes in this article are incredibly cringe. For example:
Ew
Not a far leap, based on things he's said, that he's an accelerationist who is just itching to put his luxury apartment in a decommissioned missile silo to "good use." Fuck all of these people.
The rich are the least useful people in an emergency. Lacking basic skills and not relating to normal people enough to lead a group.
Right? “Bro, you’re not treated like a leader because you have leadership skills. You’re treated like a leader because you have money and power, which would be largely useless if this political/social/economic system collapsed. Plus, you just made clear that you’re looking forward to a future with slaves. Maybe try therapy?”
Makes sense, he does seem like he’d have an inflated sense of self-importance and he can see all the eat the rich type of stuff on Reddit.
