These people figure everyone else will do the hard stuff, and one day they’ll all come to their senses after rebuilding and realize they need a beans and guns guy. It’s a kind of narcissistic laziness.
Those fuckers probably have turrets outside their bunkers and will shoot on site.
Turrets run out of ammo eventually they also need a vent for air. Would be real bad if they got blocked.
Plus without supporting infantry you can just roll up behind a very thick steel plate, doesn’t matter that it’s slow as you can take as long as you like
Without supporting infantry all you need to do is somehow splash some paint on the lenses of their cameras.
Drone with some paint balloons should do.
Get a single back hoe and pour rocks in front of the door.
Well yes, we need the vents for his bunker, where else do we empty the latraines?
Let’s be honest, if there is a global apocalypse and the only people left are the billionaires in their bunkers, how long are they really going to hang around doing their own laundry, eating canned food, and watching reruns?
They will be rapidly killed by their private military teams and a bunch of warlords will break out from that.
Iirc they are thinking about putting some kind of Killswitch collar to their “bodyguards” in “exchange” of a place in the bunker should an event arrive for this reason.
Maybe learn Vietnamese. They fought the French, the US, China, and Cambodia one after the other, and won. They must know some shit.
That or Dari. Afghans might know a thing or two
BEANS
Mm beans tho
Learned how to chop wood today
Doing a light version of the cabin in the woods thing (“F*** this city! I’m gonna go live in a cabin in the woods!”)
Interestingly enough I am doing this cause I’m a musician and need a place where I won’t bother anyone with my noise. Two birds one feeder, as the saying goes
Haven’t heard the phrase, “two birds, one feeder,” but I am partial to “feeding two birds with one scone.”
Oooh, that’s much better! I’ll be using that!
Is that a fish smoking a cigarette? With its eye?
Well now I can’t see anything but that!
Yes? So what? Don’t your fish do that?
Now see, right there, that’s the kinda shite you need to learn if you wanna survive the apocalypse.
It is a fish with a hook in it’s mouth
IT IS MOUTH
it is
Join your local CERT, learn and get free stuff and meet people
What does CERT mean in this context? I’m only getting tech-related results. (Computer emergency response team.)
Geeks helping geeks?
This presumes you live around real people.
My neighbors are a mysterious Brazilian who changes the topic when asked his profession but drives many luxury cars (drugs were hinted at by others), an 85 year old MAGA anti-vacc used car salesman, an absentee company owner that uses a $1.25M house to park his logoed trucks, boats and jet skis, and a lawyer who adopts maladjusted dogs and leaves his door open for them to run around the neighborhood biting people (me last).
Brazilian throws large parties for people who drive Porsches, used car dealer complains about Democrats and leaves packages on his porch for over a year, absentee is able to hook up a boat and leave in two minutes, and lawyer neglects feral dogs and spends time with his horses. I have only ever seen the used car salesman do work. He loves running things with motors at night.
None garden but 3/4 installed insecticide systems to kill all pollinators on their property at the push of a button and hire people to put in nice ornamentals.
The same 3/4 produce more garbage in a week than my family of four does in two months and may throw out and replace clothing rather than washing, so I doubt mending is on the table. They certainly don’t cook based on the food deliveries. Absentee business owner has never spent a night in that house in two years and I don’t know what he wears or looks like.
Not just their professional trades. Cultivate skills. Cooking, repair, gardening, etc.
Damn…that’s just about perfect
Damn, really sounds like you were just listing off all the traits of Anarchism
If you aren’t armed and prepared to defend yourself and your community, you are just gathering resources and slaves for the people that are armed and want your stuff and want to turn you into slaves or corpses.
America 😬
Guns and bunkers would help at first though
Hey, you’re just preparing for a different doomsday. How do you know they’re not preparing for an animal uprising, where all the bears, elk, and wolves team up to eliminate their human overlords? In that scenario, preparing hunting material makes tons of sense.
Establishing a community garden is a lot of fun actually. We have one in our house but it is not very big so you basically get a single vegetable every now and then but the whole working with the ground, keeping the irrigation system intact is soothing.
Where I live we have a CSA farm (Community-owned agriculture). You can join the coop to get a weekly share of veg and either do a day’s work on the farm each week, or pay an amount each month. It’s honestly amazing, it feels like I’ve hacked the system. I get cheap, organic veg grown less than a mile away and harvested the day before I collect it and it’s upskilling and connecting the local community.
yeah, that’s very cool. there is nothing more satisfying than planting a bunch of seeds, watching them grow - you start to notice how much stuff they go through. It took me about two and a half months to get my first batch of plum tomatoes and just holding one of them in my hand felt like i just did something right.
Oh yeah, that’s an amazing feeling! No tomato ever tastes as good as the one first one you grow and pick.
yeah, it ruined supermarket tomatoes forever for me - after a while you can almost taste the chemistry in them.
