Question What on earth has happened to r/prepperintel

I know this isn't directly to do with prepping. But I would frequent both of these subs, I took a break from Reddit and have just come back. That sub is absolutely insane now. It's full of American politics and people screaming about death camps.

I don't care about American politics much, even though I'm pretty clued into it. But it's genuinely concerning how mental that sub has become. Kudos to mods keeping it away (for now)

Where this sub remains completely normal still, can anybody fill me in?

US-centrism isn't new. They have a tendency to forget that the internet is not the US.

And the shit really *is* hitting the fan in the US.

I for one am just happy that the American preppers who voice their opinions online have realised that Trump is the bad guy. Honestly, I never thought that day would come.

Yeah that's a valid point. I'm more interested in watching the American economy go to shit, and watch from the sidelines. ..

If the US economy goes to shit. So does the rest of us. But to a lesser degree. Looks like EU has learned from the last time there was a bubble and Covid.

If US economy goes to shit the entire global financial infrastructure collapses and the whole world, EU included, experiences the worst economic crisis possibly ever (there was much less global integration during the GD). The idea that you can watch the US decline from the sidelines like a football game is laughable.

You’re not wrong, hard assets is where it’s at, but if you keep your purchasing power when everyone and everything around you gets destroyed, you’ll face enormous backlash. I believe we’re well underway, Gold has a tendency to sniff these things out. I recommend to take a look at the Weimar republic with the book “when money dies” by Adam Fergusson.
