At what point do we reach the conclusion that we must prepare for the apocalypse? I am not a prepper. But while listening to a replay of an Art Bell show last night about EMPs and the horrible effects of living in a country with a destroyed power grid when nobody is prepared to do so, it occurred to me that I am not ready for such a life. So what should I do? Dig up my back yard and install a bunker full of food, water, and ammo? Would I actually want to live like a mole as I desperately clung to life? Imagine a world where the only survivors are the creepy, weird prepper people. YIKES!!! So, here is what I decided to do.
Instead of being a survivalist living in a subterranean tin can, I am going to be a marauder! That is, I will hunt and prey on the survivalists. It will be a lot more fun than living in a hole. I know what you survival people will say. You will say, "Goddamn, boy, I will shoot any damn marauder within 100 yards of my compound with my trusty old .45!!". I believe you mean every word of it too. That is why I will outsmart you and take your shit!! LOL!! I have guns too, and I am proficient with them.
Once the initial wave of deaths occur due to having no food and water, it will leave (1) the rich and powerful; (2) the survivalists with their MREs and fotty-fibes; and (3) the marauders. In an apocalyptic setting, all bets are off. The rules change. The marauders will hit both #1 and #2. The rich and powerful will most likely have sophisticated and well armed protection. On the other hand, the survivalists will not, making them easier pickings. This is not to say that marauders will not hit the rich and powerful. We will. I envision it as a situation where you can either give up your shit or be shot. You do not have to join the afterlife. But we will take no chances either.
Male hubris will scoff at marauderism. That will be your downfall. You initially hold a slight advantage by beginning in a defensive posture. But there are tactics to flush you out of hiding. You will be Hitler in the bunker as we will be the allies dropping shit-tons of bombs on your head. A .45 and AK will not save you from that, brother!!
