Are you ready for when society collapses?

I'm being deathly serious here. People complain about how modern society is corrupt and it needs to fall, how they're an "accelerationist" while living in their mom's basement, and how they'll be the wasteland warlord or how their ideology will succeed.

So let's assume society collapses. The army/police won't save you. Niggers are running wild(er) in the streets because their EBT cards don't work. Infrastructure has collapsed, so no running water and electricity. Mass looting and mass hysteria are the norm, gangs of feral youths are taking over, and on what few social media sites are still up everyone's posting horror stories. Dogs and cats are sleeping together, producing unholy abominations against God and nature. Think 2020's Summer of Love, but nationwide.

You who advocate for soyciety's collapse, are you ready?

I love how in your version of entirely collapsed infrastructure, the internet is still available.
I'd starve to death before I'd have the chance to even fire a shot in self defense.
Because societal collapse caused eating disorder or....? I don't follow.

Anyhow, no. Not ready. Urban dweller. Never will be ready. No room for a full-mormon type stash, no weapons (even pepper spray) are legal and I don't know anything about weaponry anyway, no place to grow food, no Macgyver skills, no car and it'd be hard to live that Mad Max life on an uncharged scooter. No. I'd be right fucked.

I mean I guess people tend to wind up joining me in pretty much anything I do, so I'd prob wind up with a posse, I'm not exactly hung up on churchy morals and don't get squeamish all that easy so I might last a few milliseconds longer than someone without those traits, but I wouldn't last long enough to see anything rebuilt.
 
The real question is whether you're emotionally ready to kill your neighbors and steal their food if not doing so means you yourself will die.
The whole debacle realistically would probably leave most people who went through it and lived very paranoid about who they should trust and traumatized (at the very least they would be unable to forget) what they saw.

I don't have a large supply of non perishable food is what I was getting at.
 
The same people who say this shit are the same people who said during the zombie craze long ago they'd love for a zombie apocalypse to happen, 99% of these people would be the first ones to die or kill themselves after having a mental breakdown upon killing someone else or seeing their loved ones die

really a lot of people(myself included at times) need to lay off the doomerism, sure the world is shit, garbage, and gay but learning to appreciate the positives in your life even if small goes a long way in this clown world
but to answer your question no, and i don't think most people are at least the ones who advocate the most for it
and even then when society does collapse I have no reason to believe it won't be lame and gay like everything else so far

As ready as anyone could reasonably hope to be. I have food, I have arms, I have a farm, I have shelter, vehicles that will survive EMP, computers and radios that *might* survive EMP, all the tools required for building a home or rebuilding a car, limited machining capability, and a lot of time to think of contingencies.

I've waited for this for almost 20 years. Learn pickling and canning.

You're totally shitting up a thread where I'd hoped to gather life saving mall-ninja edge-lord advice.
 
No. I don’t know if you can really be prepared.

If you can have three days of food and water, maybe stretch for three weeks. If you can put together a month you’re doing better than virtually everyone around you. If things aren’t starting to normalize in some way after a month (government sending water trucks etc) they probably aren’t going to normalize. At that point supplies aren’t your problem so much. You’re in a new world and you’ll need skills and luck and intuition to make it, but you can’t necessarily predict which ones. Stay frosty and make friends with your neighbors.

I’m not a real prepper but I doom some. The main roadblock for me is water storage. A month of food is relatively easy, a month of water seems impossible. Even a week of water for a family of four is like 30 gallons minimum, is heavy, takes up a ton of space. I get real analysis paralysis about it. You can feel free to find me faggy for this, but I also hate how much plastic garbage is involved if you buy gallon jugs at the grocery store. I’ve thought about getting a 50 gallon drum but the only obvious place to store it has temperature fluctuations. Some plastic degrades pretty quickly and will pop pinprick holes (I know from unfortunate experience) so I’m leery of putting a drum somewhere that gets hot and cold.

I’m all ears if anyone has solved the water issue!
