I would guess there to be more left leaning preppers than you might imagine.
At least from what I saw on Reddit, there was a decent representation of left leaning preppers.
I count myself among them… well, not a Reddit user anymore, but my prepping is pretty decent.
I’m staying right where I am. I live in a country (non-US, not really wanting to be more specific) where there is a clear geographical divide between the two sides, and I’m deep into the territory of the side I prefer and think would win easily.
Also, I have anarchist friends, and that’s who I’d personally be turning to if I needed help or was able to be helpful to others.
Leaving.
But how, specifically? Airports and train stations might be shut down. Roads could be blocked.
I mean I’m lucky because my state borders Canada. Roads might be blocked but you can literally just walk across the border. Some of the dirt paths crossing it are monitored on camera by the RCMP, but the entire border is just an open clearing so you can literally just walk.
I’m sure if the US broke out into civil war again, Canada would already be taking in refugees anyway.
Fair. You’re lucky. I’m literally on the other side trying to figure out what the hell I’m gonna do.
As I’ve told my partner, if there’s instability to the point society is breaking down my plan is to die. That’s it. My only plan is to die. Once my hormones run out that’s gg for me I’m not going back to the wrong hormones while everything collapses I just plan to die.
Now if there’s a path to escape back to civilization I’ll see what I can do but if my country (USA) is in (open) civil war it doesn’t look good for the rest of the world
:(
Why not expatriate to Europe?
Without a steady supply of meds, water and electricity, I wouldn’t last a week, so my plan would be to lay low, sleep with a butcher’s knife under my pillow, and wait for it to end before my stash of month’s worth of meds runs out while half-starving on canned food. If things haven’t stabilized by then, go on a murder spree until someone kills me.
Take car. Go to mum’s. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.
Yeah medication is a pretty big Achilles heel.
I am fortunate that I do not YET have the need for maintenance medication.
At some point in my life however I very likely will.
When that day comes, I can only hope that things are more settled down than they are now.
Otherwise, I’ll have to really stock up on rat poison!Fun fact: some of my meds are low concentration rat poison. But otherwise, unless you have a rat infestation, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Organize an anarchist underground, probably in unarmed roles as I know nothing about guns. Organize networks of mutual aid and safe houses like the Syrian opposition did in the early stages of their civil war.
Lol yessss. May i help you with preserving knowledge and helping you farm?
Keeping the archives of radical history alive is pretty much my speciality
So, your one word answer to OPs question would be “ranting” ?
Why on earth would you reduce what I said to that?
We’ve got plenty of food, water, medical supplies and emergency power. Which means we’d either make it through the first months relatively unscathed in our own house, or get killed early in the game for our stuff. If the war came geographically close, we could cross the border to two neighbouring countries within an hour (car) or a day (bike).
I was considering buying a gun, but as the saying goes: a gun without the training means your attacker just got a free gun. Around here there are better ways to defend oneself.
Luckily civil war is highly unlikely around here, and I’m immensely grateful for that. At the moment I’m more worried about a power outage or some other shortage.
