Came across this term whilst browsing.
A little website called:
http://weirdgood.com/1386/neo-survivalism/
When I saw it I thought that it would be a demonising attack on survivalism. After reading the article though I'm not so sure what it was trying to say. Using terms like xenophobia and fear-mongering when talking about what we do could be alarming to sheeple yet on the whole it doesn't attack prepping at all. In short, nothing to worry me.
What I was surprised about was to find term widely used.
There is even a US site called
http://neosurvivalist.net
The problem on my mind is the possible misuse of the phrase "neo-survivalism" by the media. They just love catchy phrases.
If the media did one of their totally unbiased, in depth reports featuring some the more radical preppers in the UK and it could backfire on us all.
After all one of the economist sites idea of a good photograph depicting prepping was an idiot in a floppy hat pointing a shotgun straight at the camera.
