[quote=Arraya]They think if modern-industrial society malfunctions people are going to turn into brain-hungry zombies. Zero faith in humanity.

Never mind 10000 years of civilization history.
They’re not prepping for zombies, they’re prepping for the G8 to revert to subsistance third world status. Think Congo, Somalia, Cambodia and Khmer Rouge.
Most americans have no subsistance skills. Nor do other G8 citizens. They haven’t picked fruit, pruned fruit trees, grown veggies, butchered an animal or clean fished. Not do they have land to support themselves at a subsistance level. Slowly starving people are desperate people. What do desperate people do?
Argentina came close but got bailed out. Greece, bailed out but still could fail. The last industrial country to have their financial purchasing power collapse was Germany in the 1930s. We know how that turned out.
That said, I think all the preppers are nutz. As another said, reposition your finances in view of risk don’t build a bunker.
