Colony

That's a fair comment.

The simple reason is best explained like this. If you're not prepared and the area you live in is uninhabitable (gang violence, disease, it's called London, or whatever) then you're going to leave.

I think the time has already come to want to escape London
I took a 50% pay cut in order to escape our beloved capital.

Yes. I think it depends on exactly what it is you are dealing with.
I don't think that every crisis will result in the entire rest of society (or what was society) suddenly becoming my enemy. Other people can be useful. And believe it or not, I would want to help those that didn't prepare... up to a point. "I told you so" loses it's fun when your neighbours are dying of thirst. And it's good motivation for a labour force to build a cracking solar still.

But I agree that I certainly want to also make plans for when the armed gangs are after my sacks of brown rice!
