    What is the typical fate of these types of people when a society collapses? Like, really privileged fragile people with a completely warped worldview barreling headfirst into reality.

      Watch any prepper shit and it's usually going to be a very swift death lmao, they stock up on like weeks worth of dried goods but don't have community defence, they all believe in some weird barter system but like, of one exclusive good. I've seen shit of people building and storing massive amounts of say, apple cider, and just assuming they'll be able to trade afterwards for everything with just jugs of cider.

          That's what happens when the only SHTF scenarios you prep for are Civil War 2 and The Walking Dead. And even if the kind of scenario that these people fantasize about would happen, it'd just make them walking loot boxes, because in that kind of situation the prime target is obviously the guy carrying 5000$ worth of tactical gear on himself at all times.

            particularly when they're not training to identify and disarm traps, which I have never seen any of them discuss. just booby trap fucking safeway and they'll blunder right in looking for sealed corn nuts and drop four guns, five flashlights, enough ammo for an extended firefight between several people, and two pairs of oakley wraparounds
