    I’ll continue doing my normal day job as long as that’s still possible. If things start to break down, well… I’ve got a hectare of land with a freshwater spring, a wood stove and dry wood for 2 years, am part of a food sharing group, a clothes sharing group, a tight-knit group of like-minded neighbors and have contacts to a few communes in the area as well as the local Antifa group.
    Three of my best friends work at a firearms dealer.

    I’m like the leftist version of a prepper.

      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 actually don’t seek them out.
          The first rule of figh… err, prepping is don’t talk about prepping!
          Seriously though, if it were to come up in conversation I’d entertain exchanging info / plans.
          It isn’t something that lends itself to most standard conversations though.
          I should say that I have as much as possible weeded out all conservatives from my daily interactions, as I just can’t look past their goals of making our world a more hateful and miserable place.

          So, my prepping talks are typically kept online, and anonymous.

        I know. I never really planned for all of this, it just sort of accumulated over time due to my interests and my wish to live frugally and self-sufficiently.
