    I love the implication that men do well when civilization breaks down, as if we were somehow immune to hunger, disease and violence.

      We aren’t, but we believe we are.

      Don’t ask me, most other men I know believe they’d go full bear grylls the moment the power is off.

      I know I’d be dead the first day.

      Go to /c/collapse, it’s a bunch of preppers trying to pretend that they’re not excited for the collapse of society.

        So we have the politicians such as Rishi Sunak that are promoting policies that increase the probability of an ecological collapse, & then on the other extreme the preppers that are, well, at least preparing for a climate crisis.

        It’s a stretch to think how things turned out so friggin crazy? 🤔 🤑 🤥
