So, ever been to Utah? No saying they are fully prepared... But their mutant spawn may make it out to kill each other over the scraps if it's not a total wipe of life.
There’s people that might survive, I’m thinking like the Amish. But even they depend on modern society at some level for materials. If anyone would make it it would be a group like that, someone already without modern tools as much as possible.
Yep.
It will have to be those with a strong commitment to community and preparation. Which will mean people with "faith" in the future they probably won't see.
So, that will exclude most of the narcissistic oligarchy. Though some are narcissistic enough about their own lineage to spawn a cult of personality for the continuation of their brood...
They will however continue to hoard resources enough to weather the more likely minor civil disturbances their actions are certain to cause. Wich is the real motive for some.
They'll be the first to be enslaved.
The Amish are going to have a hard time with the AR15 hoarders...
Why?
Maybe they're coy about it, but the Amish I have met aren't big into firearms. Once there's a farm with food and no guns and roving bands of hungry men with guns and ammo situation, the farmers usually doesn't do well in the ensuing relationship.
So you’re saying people with guns would kill the people with the knowledge needed to have a hope of survival in a hypothetical apocalyptic catastrophe in a shortsighted display of greed and strength?
That absolutely tracks.
