She got that way because you personally didn’t teach her a better way of living. You’re personally responsible for these deaths, including that of the child.

Why, why would you do this, @TrismegistusMx? Why? Why?

Well she’s from Colorado springs so I’m going to guess a steady diet of conservative propaganda…

Such a victim.

Nature provides less, most of us probably wouldn’t make it through childhood.

I’d love an explanation if you don’t mind.

Humans are not rabbits. What a terrible analogy. I get mad at any human that intentionally endangers their child. I don’t know why you don’t object to child abuse.

They thought wrong, obviously.

Because they were idiots who didn’t realize how they would definitely die in nature without society to protect them.

Are you saying that you’ve been totally comfortable the last 4 years and never once considered the collapse of the system being a threat to your loved ones?

Of course I’m not saying that. But I never once thought to myself “Know what would make this situation better? Starving myself and my family in the cold wilderness that none of us are prepared to endure.”

That thought was something she considered and acted upon. It’s not your fault for having such thoughts, but acting on them is always your fault. Nobody told her “You need to take your family into the mountains, or else”. She did that to herself.

I think there are a lot of threats in the world, I think climate change might also be a threat.

I don’t stake myself out in the antarctic in response.

They didn’t take a risk. Taking a risk means preparing for situations and dealing with them as they come up, and what happens happens. This lady prepared nothing. This is more like resting in the shade of the anvil suspended by twine in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. She walked out into the woods to die and just didn’t know it. It’s an awful story, she obviously didn’t feel she had options, but a little bit of reading or video would show a person very quickly that they needed more preparation than the deceased put in to have any hope it surviving an alpine winter.
