It may seem
that an analysis of the prepper cultural phenomena is a trite endeavor, but if
you delve into the philosophical underpinnings of human instincts for survival,
a worthy lesson can be the result. Since life is a gift, the conditions upon
which it ends or voluntarily forfeited, are not necessarily dependent upon the
will of the individual. A calculated act of placing your life at risk is not
equivalent with a deliberate suicide. The functions and purpose of the prepper
community is in direct conflict with those individuals that languish in hopeless
despair and desperation. The response of the prepper to social turmoil is to
prepare for contingencies. Yet that defensive posture avoids the essential
question, what is the point of surviving if the communal environment is a
hopeless wasteland.
