According to the news source, some of the posts stated, “I am sorry. If you support the Democratic Party, I will not help you” and “The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party, and I will not help you survive the end of days.”
In another post, according to WHIO, Rodgers wrote that people would need to “provide proof of who you voted for” before rendering aid.
Are you suggesting 12 year olds are going to be using pressure cooker bombs to fight cops within 72 hours of any sort of apocalyptic event?
Does Gen Alpha really go that hard?
If it’s truly the end of days everyone is gonna learn to trust absolutely no random person whatsoever within like 12 hours and it’s gonna turn into battle royale hide and seek, not Fallout. These guys are preparing for something that just won’t happen
If other disasters and breakdowns of social order are anything to go by, not really. Communities tend to band together in those cases.
Murdering your neighbors to eat what’s in their fridges: Extremely high risk, best possible outcome is a few days of food.
Working with your neighbors to establish mutual defense, food production, healthcare, etc: Lower risk than anything else, possibility to replicate most of those things society had been providing.
Although there’s definitely a cultural aspect, Hurricane Katrina had a wealthy gated community with dudes driving around in pickups murdering any “looters” from flooded areas and police ambushed and murdered a family walking by the Danziger Bridge. Even in those cases though, this was organized violence as opposed to a free-for-all.
None of that is end of days. I live 10 blocks from George Floyd Square and that wasn’t end of days, but still, they looted the 5th precinct armory and people were dressed up as police as a gag, sideshows at Lake and Nicollet with postal vans and cop cars.
Couple thousand people going crazy and independently shooting up random places election night to try to stop the entire election, that’s still not end of days but getting closer. Couple notches past that everyone is gonna lose their fucking minds
The community coming together to burn the police station after the police murdered someone in broad daylight and wasn’t brought to justice isn’t exactly the chaotic scene you’re suggesting.
I pointed out that that wasn’t end of days. Katrina wasn’t end of days. End of days is end of days. Dunno how that’s hard for you to comprehend.
But hey, we all find out what ‘preparing for the storm’ means on Tuesday night, why law enforcement is concerned, and why MAGA law enforcement keeps suggesting something big and bad might happen. Why’s he suggesting an end of days? Dunno but the lunatics can all basically sync their watches and speak in code. Hopefully nothing
So when there isn’t a civil war and total chaos come Tuesday, you’ll reevaluate your position?
No. My position is that preppers are dumb as hell because they romanticize some sort of apocalyptic environment where people will somehow act towards them without fear and with civility, and they can just roam around in broad daylight with their big swinging dick pea shooter of a rifle and not worry about drawing attention to themselves from every person within a quarter mile radius if they use it. Don’t get me started on diesel generators, may as well just spray paint on the house ‘if you ran out of water just observe’. They’re blithe idiots. Anyone who thinks the apocalypse is gonna be fun is a fucking moron who did no research into what that even means. Cannibalism, anyone? Fuck that
Guess we’ll all find out what ‘preparing for the storm’ even means but that’s an entirely different topic
Idk why people are mad at you but I agree. An apocalypse won’t be fun to live through.
