>"preppers"
Why are Americans uniquely like this? It's like an entire country of schizos.

It's a nice community

Not an entire country just an entire region

puritanism and jews and niggers and spics and race mixing and uhhhhhhh... there are more, I forget

Main character syndrome from watching too many action movies as kid.

>>211980204 (OP)
losers who fucked up on their only chance at life and pray for everyone else to suffer and lose everything they've worked for so that the chud can be king. It's implicitly wishing misery on everyone but yourself.

>>211980204 (OP)
I'd do the same if I had the money and land. I'd build an underground shelter with supplies and guns

We have preppers here too, some people come here specifically to be preppers aswell.

Prepping sounds fun thoughbeit
Getting some dumb fallout shelter in your garden and stocking it with a 20 year supply of canned stuff. Id just live in there even now, perfect NEET cave

>>211980368
oooooh that's what OP meant...
this website ruined me

>>211980204 (OP)
Prepping is common here and encouraged by the government. You should always have a reserve of food and water at home. Preferably at the very least a battery radio as well

>>211980279
>preparing for a future disaster is the same as wishing ill on others
I thought straw men like you only existed in YA novels.

Prepping for the worst
Prepping 'cause I'm lost
Prepping for an host
Prepping 'cause why not?

American preppers usually actively want a disaster to happen, like they don't just have preparations they base their entirely life and identity around it.

>>211980656
nothing wrong with that, I also hate human societies

This is the difference between the European and American mindset
Americans are self sufficient and realistic, realizing nothing is guaranteed and they take precautions in case shit goes south.
Europeans are sheep and think the government will take care of everything if any calamity happens Their nanny states have completely drained them of any self-sufficiency. Years of being taken care of by American defense has killed them into a false sense of security, but they're gonna learn soon

I'll bet it is

>being self-sufficient is… le bad!

>>211980810
These pamphlet are sent out to every person in the country. "If the war comes"
It's basic info about readyness and state functions. It includes prepping recommendations

I've been thinking about prepper stuff but I have made a few calculations and the expenses e.g. for a realistic nuclear shelter are simply astounding.

I believe most "preppers" are just deluded idiots who think that they can survive with cheap stuff while in reality a serious plan would cost a fortune.

>>211980204 (OP)
We're paranoid about getting nuked.

>>211981173
Essentially no country is completely self sufficent in anything anymore. It doesn't take a nuclear war for bread lines and major unrest to start appearing

>Why are Americans uniquely like this?
It's virtually impossible to suffer in America so people fantasize about imaginary scenarios in which they'd be forced to lower the quality of their lives.
Look up that terrible Civil War movie that released a couple years ago. The plot is about the American government fracturing and a massive war breaking out across America (they barely even elaborate why this happened, it sucks). The reason this movie was so successful is because it catered to the American fantasy of being a victim. We're so used to our lifestyle of constant comfort and excess that we're desperate to create a world where all of that gets stripped away. Media set in dystopian futures or stories involving rebellions will always be extremely possible in America.

I think it's the same reason why this country refuses to get over 9/11. It was one moment where America was truly vulnerable and received sympathy from all other nations. You don't see Norway still trying to farm sympathy points for what Anders Breivik did or Japan for Fukashima.

Btw my conclusion was that the poor man's best plan is a plane ticket to New Zealand.

>>211981423
NZ won't let people move there unless one pays the government a hefty bribe.

>>211980295
Started thinking of doing this too

>>211980830
prepping the bull

>>211980697
american preppers are dumb as bread. they will live in some suburb in the desert with only one way out, no water supply, no nature, right next door to a guaranteed nuke target and several millions of people within zombie/looting range.
>but atleast im prepared
the best prep you can do is to move far away from risk to a place with easy access to resources and nature and multiple escape routes

>>211980204 (OP)
What the other burger said, I have to think Puritanism and how deeply embedded it is into the American psyche is responsible for this.
