I have a question for the climate occultists.

Q. If you believe that we face an existential crisis, why are none of you preppers?

If you look at the prepping community on Youtube for example, none of them are climate occultists.

They might generate energy on-site, or engage in permaculture, but most, if not all of the climate occultists live incredibly affluent lifestyles, live in areas with a large population density, order everything off Amazon and Uber Eats, wouldnt last a day without an internet connection, couldn't light a fire to save their lives, let alone hunt for food, most are vegan and consider the herbs growing on their window boxes to be the height of food sovereignty . . .

They might scream about the apocalypse but their actions say otherwise.

I bet it’s partly because if you live with natural systems you probably are used to variation and the fickle aspects of nature and so aren’t as worried about it—are used to rolling with the punches—vs city dwellers who get wrecked by nature infrequently and when it does happen it feels severe and catastrophic 🤷

That's certainly an interesting thought, and a reasonable supposition, but it doesn't account for the lack of preppers who believe in a climate apocalypse. Would these city dwellers, given their extreme belief in an end of the world scenario, not vacate the city and begin a path of resiliance?

Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough.
