They had a 14-year old kid with them. That poor kid didn’t deserve to have been led to his death because of the adults he had no choice but to depend on.

Are you more angry at the people trying to escape the crazy system than you are at the system that drove them out?

There is no “system” that drove them out. This was a choice they made. A bad one.

How would they prepare for economic collapse and the rise of fascism? They took a risk, but they might have just accelerated the inevitable.

Nobody drove them out. This was a decision she made on her own accord and by her own free will.

Her free will to run away from a system she perceived as a threat. 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?

Yes, because they died in an incredibly predictable way by going out unprepared and they brought a kid to die with them.

They thought they were going to be killed by capitalism in decline.

The same system that provides antibiotics? Have you ever grown food? It’s a lot harder than buying it at the store, even when you include the time spent working at a minimum wage job.

Nature is brutal and unforgiving, these idiots did not begin to respect it.

They could never have survived without society to care for them, the proof is that they didn’t.

The system that provides soap, food, internet, cops, homelessness, poverty, fentanyl, prisons, slavery, inequality, racism, sex discrimination, poor education, and horrendous working conditions.

They were ignorant about nature the same way you seem to be ignorant about society. Both of you risk your lives on a daily basis dealing with SYSTEMS you don’t understand.

It’s just the luck of the draw that you can sit there in high judgement and talk mad shit.

Is it a contest? Can’t you be angry at both the system and people endangering their children and that is enough?

Do you get mad at rabbits that run away from dogs and into the line of fire of the hunter?

The adult who dragged a kid along was trying to create her own system, which undeniably isolated him, subjected him to suffering, and killed him, so yeah I’m angry at that on his behalf.

She was afraid, ignorant, and uneducated. How do you think she got that way?
