You'll get my broadband when you pry it out of my cold dead hands!

Well, hand, I'm using the other for a different purpose.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

People do have a tendency to unite when facing a common danger. We've inherited this tendency from other animals.

The area around Broome, Western Australia got flooded a couple of days ago. Animals headed for higher ground wherever they found it and whichever way they could. This bunch of frogs and the bluetongue lizard finished up on the same branch of a tree.



In normal times those frogs are on the lizard's dinner menu.

Yes, in troubled times there will be looting, murder and mayhem, and the more trouble there is there will be more of that, but I think people who were raised in a culture of libertarianism, a culture where the autonomy and freedom of the individual is focused on tend to underestimate the tendency of individuals to form communities and to behave cooperatively in those communities. There will of course be conflicts and violence between those communities, but there will also be the recognition that no matter which one "wins" such conflict and violence will result in a net loss for all. I would anticipate watchful peace to break out in many places soon after the initial, widespread chaos and destruction has begun. People will unite against the threat of marauding gangs.

The lizard is just not hungry because he just had two other frogs.

And the remaining 10 just knew lizards always stop at two.

'Prepping' is inversely proportional to the State's obligations to it's citizens. If the State doesn't give a fuck, then you are on your own, people.

I just started thinking about that yesterday. I'm pretty unprepared.

We're actually going to stock up on basics a bit more than usual, at each supermarket shop. All stuff that will keep, so if nothing drastic like a lockdown occurs, we will simply be able to shop a little less in the future, as we draw down on those stocks...

I'll continue to stock more on dry goods, water containers etc.

Mass-casualty or mass-fatality events have the same thumb-rule - help out. You might die of it, but helping's not a bad way to go.

It's pretty simple, really. The less disruptive this virus is, the better for everyone.

I'm a prepper. Every day I train and prepare for the inevitable far right revolution and subsequent genocide of minorities as the opposing, resisting force.
