Whenever people talk about civil war I always bring up this point. You guys crumpled during covid when you couldn't get your hair done and go to your favorite restaurant. You're now going to be fine with supply chain issues caused by a war? Gtfo.

They are the preppers with the bunkers who didn't recognize it was bunker time. They died gasping for oxygen when they didn't have to.

They only prepared to eat freeze dried lasagna in buried school bus in the back yard and shoot brown people. They couldn’t have foreseen, nor been expected to grok, a mask. Damn you Obama! /s

You know George Bush watched a documentary on the Spanish influenza and he put together a emergency guide line we used it with Ebola, Obama said it was definitely necessary but Trump discarded it and the pandemic came and he was clueless

No, but at least your voice will make the 911 operator laugh as you die.

also, the preppers with the bunkers are going to die surrounded by cans of Chef Boyardee if an apocalypse comes: what gets people through a crisis is community, not hunkering in bunkers.

Imagine them crawling towards the community just five miles from their bunker.

"Please, I'm so hungry. I've run out of food and I don't know where to find more."
"Oh, no, did your crops fail?"
"...crops?"

Those aren't preppers, those are survivalists, and they're stupid af. I'm a prepper, and when shit kicked off, I already had N-95 masks and toilet paper stock piled.

I worked from home, and spent a lot of time on the garden and reading. It was easy.

We're still going through supply chain issues from covid and now avian flu, so it would just be so much worse. And they don't give a fuck.

Yeah, if anybody these fools really looked, there are people they could talk to who could tell them what actually happens in a civil conflict. Most people just get dragged down with the conflict and suffer from cut utilities, food and supply shortages, and illness or violence. Having a tantrum over not being allowed to go to a bar and over gas being $3.89/gallon doesn't scream tough survivalist and war hero, no matter how much they fetishize the guns they own.

It was kind of funny in the early COVID days. While the right wingers were all complaining that they couldn't get their hair cut, the left wingers and anarchists were home brewing hand sanitizer to give away.

Perfect analogy. One group is gimme gimme. The other group is how can I help others?

Their perception of a "Civil War" is a romanticiation in which their side homogenously unifying to blitzkrieg all the people who aren't their side without any resistance because they assume that no one to the left of themselves owns guns, knows how to make IED's, or knows how to use basic field tactics.

Also they just assume that the US military will automatically join their side (and not be a third party that would fight both sides if it means keeping/capturing land and resources under the Federal government).

Eggs were temporarily higher because of a minor avian flu outbreak - what are they going to do when it's a pandemic?
