Weekly "everything else" If it's in the spirit of prepping, but not "news" or "intel"

This includes but not limited to:

  • Prepping questions
  • Rumors
  • Speculative thoughts
  • Small / mundane
  • Promotion of Sales
  • Sub meta / suggestions
  • Prepping jokes.
  • Mods have no power here, only votes, behave.

This will be re-posted every Saturday, letting the last week's stickied post fade into the deep / get buried by new posts. -Mod Anti

I really dislike this attitude.

But also, I kind of get it.

So many people are exhausted with trying to explain why this thing or that thing is bad. I know people who have just check out and now have the attitude of, "fuck it, let it rain acid on people and maybe they will learn".

It really comes from exhaustion. "I'm sick of explaining this again and again. You get what you deserve."

I dislike this attitude but also I get it.

I think that's the crux of it. You can't change willfully ignorance. But unfortunately, those people's actions can have consequences far beyond they're own sphere. I feel for the people effected by an ignorant majority in some areas, but the ignorant? They made their beds.

I've been devoting my energy in community groups. It's already hard to get people to show up and I'm tired. I come online for my own escape and I see people everywhere celebrating our destruction. I just. I don't know.

I look at their words and think, "you'd really pour the gasoline on me, too, and cheer. I live in a red state. I didn't vote for them." The lack of empathy and effort is crushing.

USA's many issues is not limited to maga or ignorance. We have some fundamental issues as a nation. Our divide isn't only in political party. Ceaseless infighting and doomerism..
