Preppers and Fear Psychology | It bugs me when people, especially people who profit from the prepping community, try to use fear as a motivation for others to prepare.
In this Episode on Preppers and Fear Psychology:
- Micro vs. Macro Disasters
- Disasters Are Not a Myth
- Prepper Frustrations
- Illustrate Them Into Understanding!
- Preppers, Confidence, and Fear
- How to Get Someone to Prepare
In the case of people who make money from within our community, and there's plenty of people out there doing it, fear is often used to part people concerned about their future safety, from their hard-earned dollar, maple leaf, euro, quid, and peso. Hard-earned and often limited in amount.
Limited in amount so that every rationed preparedness dollar has a future attached to it and should be used effectively.
Personally, that goes against my core values. The bottom line is, scaring people into preparedness, in my opinion, often does more harm than good.
I believe that regardless of the category of disaster, micro or macro, most people on the face of the planet know that hard times may be waiting just down the road from us.
Everyone knows that hard times are waiting to jump us when we least expect it, or more likely when it is the most inconvenient.
