You realize that by their very nature; preppers prep for that eventuality as well?
Of course. Same for thieves.
If thieves were diligent preppers; they wouldn’t be thieving...
Not true at all. They have kids and need to feed them. They form groups for survival. And thieves have always existed...surely you arent suggesting they suddenly won't, in this apocalyptic fantasy.
Point being, thepreppers are delusional fools, for the most part. They can prep their little hearts out, and they will he subject to the same chaotic anarchy as everyone else. Unless they are organizing in groups for their own safety, they are likely doing all that prep work for others.
