Waiting until the bombs drop is silly. You should be organizing already and making sure that food-insecure people have access to the food that they need to survive. You need allies to survive. That's what organizing is about. We are all already in a war of attrition with capital. People get displaced to make room for luxury developments all the time. People go hungry all the time. If you aren't already cooperating with your friends and neighbors to correct this situation, you should start doing that today. Last minute panic buying random supplies isn't going to cut it. It feels silly to quote a sci-fi story here, but "the more you share, the more your bowl will be plentiful" rings true to me.
Pretending you're the protagonist of a fallout game isn't going to keep you alive. I love wilderness survival and high adventure stuff, but I know it takes a village to survive long term. Learning to use a gun isn't a bad idea either, assuming you have access to a shooting range that isn't racist/fascist/xenophobic. Unless you have training tho, don't bother with those expensive pieces. You're better off spending it on something more practical for your specific situation.
This was advice geared towards people who haven't prepared. If someone is already prepared then they wouldn't need advice on what to do. Idk why your acting as if im somehow against organizing because i gave people a quick rundown on how to maybe survive if an unexpected global famine happens and they arent prepared for it.
A lot of people who are currently just working 60 hours a week going home passing out and repeating aren't gonna be prepared for when this happens, but if they take a few simple steps like i described their chances of starving to death decrease a lot. Spreading this information to them is not somehow anti-community organizing, and i literally mention how they should seek out community once its safe to do so.
Yeah and I'm saying it's bad advice. The thing we all gotta be doing is building community. Individual last minute prepping is actively harmful because it provides a false sense of security.
I don't disagree with the premise (prep for famine), but the advice doesn't match the situation. Its a collective problem & needs to be addressed as such especially to people who currently aren't involved in community building endeavors.
