    I am interested in survivalism but it seems like most survivalists are a bunch of god-fearing crazy racist motherfuckers.

      I remember when survivalists were predominately hippie types who feared a right-wing generated apocalypse - like corporatism collapsing the economy, or warmongers starting WW3. The back-to-nature ones learned self-sufficient organic farming, the tech ones bought nitrogen-filled plastic bins of grain, and they all grew weed. Then when rednecks joined the club it became more about homemade ammunition and defending the perimeter.

          left tends to be pro-social for solutions, right tends to be pro-violence for solutions, so… yeah…

          Sadly there’s some truth to that. Moral perfectionism is so common among liberals, publicly expressing your interests can be a minefield.
