Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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.
