Doomsday Preppers

This show has many issues but here are the main ones.

1- It exploits ignorant and misinformed people. This is more voyeurism of a very small fringe of the population and depresses me if I watch it. At some point this show is equal or possibly worse than Hoarders. But in the case of Hoarders these people suffer from mental illness not ignorance.

2- Listening to these people is an exercise in restraint. They are largely uninformed and base their life-decisions on anecdotal information they glean from the internet and other like-minded people as equally ignorant. They lack the imagination to redirect their energy and efforts to endeavors that could benefit society. Their apocalyptic view of the world is unsupported by real-world events, think Katrina, Sandy, and Fukushima, and provides them with a platform that simply reinforces a mistaken belief that all Americans adhere to or support this behavior.

In the end, even if they are right, most people would prefer to die than live in the world these people are preparing for. This is probably this biggest omission they make when preparing for a doomsday scenario: Would you really want to live in such a world?

It is 2018 now and I just laugh at some of these idiots.

Why do they live in such fear?

For these people life in the US of A is great. I wonder what they would be doing is they were poor. They would probably have better things to worry about.

They have serious first world problems.

Before we judge whether or not the people on this show are crazy, let's just remember that this show is like any other documentary, it explores a culture or a belief system completely foreign to our own.

Doomsday Preppers gives us a telescope into the lives of people who think the world's end is right round the corner, whether it be from an oil shortage, a giant earthquake, or the world spinning upside-down. While the apocalypse theories vary in their plausibility, what is certain is that these people BELIEVE it will happen very soon. And this makes for a very interesting show.

Families literally dedicate their lives to building defenses and stocking up on food supplies for when civilisation comes to an end. Whether its a legitimate fear or just a desire for a new life, you can't get past the slightly romantic notion of being the only people equipped to fighting off hordes of starving civilians with your homemade fortress. However the entire notion that you live your life to prepare for the offchance that the world ends is completely ridiculous.

These people give up the majority of their time and money to dealing with an apocalypse that almost definitely won't happen. But who are we to judge, whatever helps them sleep at night.

And examining these people makes for a very interesting show.

So overall it's a pretty entertaining and educational show. However I would say that the majority of the shows that I have watched seem to deal with people who have a good amount of money or are very well off and can afford these expensive fortresses and such. One example a guy bought his daughter a 40k rifle and paid for lessons that cost 60k. Rediculous. Show people who are prepping with low to average budgets. Do able realistic preppers. And realistic preppers. Example: honestly I prep to survive the initial chaos then to raid those who have what I need. That's honesty. In an E.L.E ( extinction level event) all bets are off. My family matters your just in my way.

In the age that comedy is dead by PC this is a fresh breath of air .

My only problem with it is that some of the people theu show are not as entertaining , and show kinda takes itself too seriously
