    Don’t get me wrong I also have a pantry and I appreciate it much. Also we’re all survivors of the toilet paper wars and ridden by fears of shortages in the shops.

    In my opinion prepper is a much too general term. On the one hand there are meal-preppers, pantry enthusiasts and guys with a bigger than life freezer and a few storage racks in the basement.

    On the other hand guys with bunkers, emergency plans, a stock of weapons who already living more their “Fallout” life than real life.
    People who are so uber-prepared that they already live in their own world with their own rules. Then it’s a little step to protect that world at all costs, even against the state.
    Often combined with leaning towards conspiracy theories or xenophobia.
    That’s the people I mean.
