    Ill preface this by saying I have no preparations at all, but that said, in the event of societal collapse I think I would much rather have a semi full of ammunition and shit. I dont think my birth certificate or a house title will go far in the apocalyptic dystopia

      Yeah.

      So, total societal collapse is rather unlikely. But a storm or earthquake or fire knocking out power, internet, etc for a week or two is…. Extremely likely.

      So while the semi full of ammunition would’ve been more helpful in the latter scenario, it’s not so helpful in the far, far more likely scenario.

      I don’t know, have you been paying attention? A birth certificate might save you from being sent to a prison in South America.

        If ICE and citizenship are artifacts of society, how do you think anyone would get deported in a post-societal apocalypse?

        Plus theyre just kidnapping and deporting whoever they want anyways…
