    True, but remember they don’t think that way, because it messes up their fantasy.

    Have you heard the nonsense the owner of Reddit spouts constantly? About how he was so good at hoarding that he’ll have a private army and slaves and people will come crawling on their knees to serve him for a little food and he’ll be a king? These losers all think like that, and facts like tools break and bullets run out and you have to cast more and get the supplies to do so just ruins their dreams of being an unstoppable tyrant.

      Also just praetorian shit happens. Having resources is insufficient, your guards have to like you or fear the consequences of banding together to kill you

        Oh, they have a plan for that too. Making them all wear shock collars and holding their families hostage.

      That’s what they say.

      What they think is all the underaged girls will come running to willing beg to do anything for protection.

      That’s the true prepper fantasy, it’s just a middle age crisis made manifest.
