For a very long time, I've noticed the undertones of "be prepared" (for some, obviously not all) are more like "I hope collapse happens"? I find myself wanting that somewhat...a societal reset...but why? Do we think that is the only way? Am I off-base here?
What do you think?
A collapse isn't what anyone wants.
But lets be realistic...inflation, mandates, supply shortages, and a quarter of the population that is at this point afraid of their own shadows.
This is definitely a decline in a short period of time. A collapse could be avoided but in any case you need to be prepared.
I hope you are right coz thats a damn goid plan!
