Someone who can'
t wait for the end of the
world, and 'prepares' for it by hoarding
food, guns, ammunition, water purification tablets, paracord, rice, MRE, camouflage clothing,
Walmart gift cards, and pretend Tea Party 'money' that they think will be worth something someday.
Often this
fear/hope that society will end "any day now" is related to religious beliefs, distrust of a
government they didn't vote for, and/or a shared delusion among their peers that only they are intelligent enough to "see the signs" of our collective impeding doom.
A strong paramilitary aspect usually goes with the Prepper lifestyle, even though most of them couldn't run a mile to save their own lives, never mind carrying some of the heaviest items possible on their backs; batteries, water, bullets, and gold.
Up to this point, 100% of "preppers" have been
wrong so far, a trend likely to continue for a very long time.
It has been theorized that in the unlikely event of an actual catastrophe large enough to actually destroy society, that Preppers would be the first to be 'pushed out' by a new society, since honestly, who wants a bunch of
ignorant aggressive selfish loudmouth jerkoffs around when it'
s time for everyone to put aside their differences and rebuild a new society?
Steve: "Did you see that
guy buying all those shovels and batteries? What's up with that?"
Jay: "Yeah... he's a Prepper. He thinks he will be the only
one to survive whatever race war or
zombie attack his church or Alex Jones predicted."
