Heavy schadenfreude for these survivalist cunts. Uncritical solidarity with all the ordinary Texans suffering the effects of a looted and hollowed out infrastructure finally giving up the ghost.

    I think Robert Evans had a good point about these types of CHUDs. They're all so busy looking cool and learning how to use various guns that they never actually bother with basic survival skills, which is why during antifa clashes with fascists it's always the antifa medics that have to perform first aid on CHUDs.

      With the exception of the dead eyed Black Rifle Coffee swilling ex-operator types I'd imagine a fair amount of them probably wouldn't even be that handy with a gun when it comes down to it, shooting an Osama Bin Laden target on a firing range is pretty different from the real deal. I guess you shouldn't underestimate them, but I'd still be willing to bet that a lot of them would fall apart if they couldn't get Grub Hub or whatever lmao.

      Upon receiving the review copies, Moore was disturbed by a quote from the Autobiography of Malcolm X in which he referred to Christians as "brainwashed"

        Oh no no, they're mad that it was being named and placed on equal footing with other dialects like AAVE, instead of being treated as the only form of american english

          That's not what the wiki says. It says that they didn't think those dialects were "proper".

          Alice Moore was concerned by the term dialectology, which implied the teaching of Appalachian English and African American Vernacular English as "equally correct" dialects, when she believed they could impede access to higher education and careers.

          It's poorly phrased, but that "they" seems to imply that she was talking about both.

      Fliers were distributed around the county which purported to demonstrate the lewdness of the books, but were actually quotations from completely different books like Sexual Politics that were not part of the curriculu . When parents could not find these passages in their children's own textbooks, they accused the teachers of hiding the real books from them

    Stocks up on canned food - only owns an electric can opener. No generator. Genius, who could have known there might be blackouts in the prepper apocalypse?

    I mean, while it is pretty funny that the chuds don't really know any survival skill beyond "gun", what do you think is going to happen when these heavily armed, angry, starving dipshits run out of MREs? If these guys were my neighbors who ran out of options and food I'd give it 5 minutes before they go full Mad Max mode and shoot me for a can of beans. I'm probably just mindlessly speculating about nonsense again but I see this as a whole lot of trouble to come

      Yeah, I've always thought that despite their racist dogwhistles about "looters" and "thugs" the first people to turn bandit in any kind of collapse would be these heavily armed losers with no community, no empathy and no actual survival skills.

    Heads up to everyone but if you really need to open a can just scrape the top on concrete. The seam will break loose allowing you access to those beans.

    Also get a cast iron Dutch oven, I found mine on Amazon but managed to fuck them over on the delivery so happy. With these bad boys you can cook outside if you need to on coals or make a pit. Take care of it and it will get you far. You can cook stews, bread, and beans. Just rinse and soak the beans before hand.

    I know all this not because I'm a survivalist btw just poor and surviving under capitalism. Also beans store well when dry, stock up on chickpeas and lentils besides pinto. Give your cats access to these supplies because they will keep rats at bay.

    Also ham radios and shooting guns seem like fun hobbies, I wish these people would just admit to themselves that they're just taking up a hobby without having to spin some grand narrative about the apocalypse. I guess it's one of the pathologies of American society that it's almost taboo to enjoy your time off, so any activity must somehow be justified. You're not just taking up a few hobbies that are not atypical for men your age, you're preparing for doomsday.

    I mean I know they've convinced themselves this is truly what they're doing, and the stockpile of food that without prior thought to how it would get consumed is evidence of that, but I feel this is a subconscious justification. They're sort of fabricating this fantasy to have some justification for taking up a few hobbies they were interested in.

    If Texas is a haven for all the Real Americans ™️ who hate government overreach, and taxes, and PC-culture, how could this have happened?
