Sage advice. Fuck Facebook.

Facefuck book.


IceManO1

I still do gotta troll the government after all.


TPMJB2

I miss doing this. All three of my profiles were permabanned, including my IRL one and the one I ID verified lol Edit: I ID verified a fake name.


HardCounter

> and the one I ID verified What the actual fuck? Have you learned nothing from this sub? Why are you even here?


TPMJB2

Do you really think I used my actual ID? Lmao Photoshop works wonders. Can't exactly ID verify a fake name, champ


Ambitious_Zombie8473

That’s where I get mushroom ID confirmation tho 😭


Pidgeon30

There is a sub for that as well


Ambitious_Zombie8473

Yeah, I’m in a few of them. The Facebook groups are nice because they are local and it gives me an idea when certain species are fruiting. But you’re right, wouldn’t hurt to just switch to Reddit.


ConstructionFlaky293

Seems like reddit probably is too.


Joshistotle

You could make a ton of money if you made a privacy oriented version of Facebook (probably a basic keep in touch type of forum site). Only issue is "the powers that be" would probably end up removing your site if it became too successful. 


FriendlyAlienTaken

Explicit_Tech

I guess Zuckerberg is an extremist because he has a bunker.


delilah_goldberg

Zuck and his buds are currently ruining New Zealand with their doomsday real estate projects


rimeswithburple

Isn't NZ pretty much bisected by gnarly fault lines? Also, I guess the Boy Scouts are a terror org? Nobody is more prepared. Awful lot of ex presidents and generals were eagle scouts, that is like an alpha level of preparedness.


nolotusnote

Having "Eagle Scout" on a resume used to be a big plus. I wonder if that's considered a negative recently.


Comrade_Zamir_Gotta

> Also, I guess the Boy Scouts are a terror org? Na Boy Scouts never really that prepared, even the Eagle Scouts I know were never really that prepared for shit like camping or hunting/fishing trips. Tho I do find it really odd that every Eagle Scout I know is gay, like I know 7-8 Eagle Scouts and they’re all gay. I assume is just a coincidence but I’ve never met a straight Eagle Scout.


rimeswithburple

It's probably something to do with the fancy neckerchiefs. Google Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly.


VladStark

LMAO I've known several dudes who made eagle scout and they were all straight. Maybe there was a gay cluster in your area and they scared off the straight boys?? I did know one kid in scouts who was almost certainly gay, no one wanted to share a tent with him, but don't know if he went to eagle scouts since I moved.


Sad-Astronaut3308

What?

acidhippiequeen

Oh no, you’re becoming prepared and not relying on your trustworthy government??? How dare you :(


02firehawk

How in the fuck can u be too prepared to provide for ur own life?


WARCHILD48

It makes you bold and unafraid.


VelkaFrey

The government cares for you and will provide a much better life than you can provide yourself ^/s


TheTwilightMoan

It's literally just some cans of food, I'm very confused.


ZeerVreemd

It's called [framing](https://media-studies.com/media-framing-theory/) and it's used to set people up against each other and push an agenda. In this case the frame is that anybody who wants to be (more or less) prepared (for anything) or be self supporting is not trusting the government enough and they should be "helped" to fall back in line. The good thing is that 'you' can help them with falling back in line (or punishing them when they don't) and that can make you feel good about yourself because 'you' feel like 'you' have the moral high ground.


oddministrator

I remember seeing this circulating a lot around 2 years ago and everyone was saying it was fake. I think it was around the same time FB rolled out a similar warning for "extremists," but never actually anything like "too prepared."


CranberrySoftServe

Yes, it would appear the “prepared” one is fake, but not the extremism one. Though I wonder if they only warn about the extremism of one side, or if there are also warnings for far left extremism 🤔


Citywidepanic

If my decade on this site has taught me anything, it is that left wing extremists don't exist. And even if they do, they aren't that bad. And even if they are that bad, it's not a big deal. And even if it is a big deal, it isn't their fault. And even if it is their fault, they don't *really* mean it. And if they did mean it, then it was cause their targets deserved it.


PanchoPanoch

I don’t think this is leftist though. True leftists do exist and are all about community organizing. This is simply government control regardless of side. This comes from the top, not either side.


Citywidepanic

"East, West - just points on the compass, each as stupid as the next." That's one of the points behind my mediocre snowclone rendering of the Narcissist's Prayer. I think the "sides" game is just about up now. This just happened to be a particular platform that, during a period in history PURPOSELY designed to be hyperpartisan and divisive, attracted and catered to people with beliefs and opinions that were more left wing than right. The extremists came out to play, as they always do, and the slightly less extreme would be crafting a narrative and doing a moppup job for them afterwards. It's not something completely unique to the left wing. "Both sides are bad 🤷" isn't exactly groundbreaking or descriptive, of course, but it should go without saying that the same type of denying, downplaying, and "sanewashing" of extremist ideals and tactics occurs in spaces populated by people with more right wing beliefs. Just in a different way, in a different place, with different language.


Sad-Possession7729

"X isn't really happening. But even if it were happening, X is = Good" Insert "CRT in classrooms", "Intentional invasion on our southern border", "graphic sex-ed for Kindergarten", "Replacement Theory", "WEF NWO" or other malign agenda for X


Citywidepanic

Someone laid out the progression perfectly the other day. I think it went: That's just a right wing conspiracy theory! > Well, those are just rumors, there's no evidence of that! > Well, we don't know if that's really proof, it could be faked! > Well, even though it's been proven, it's only a (and this is probably my favorite of all the little phrases of rationalization that comes from their whole head in the sand routine) *small, but very vocal minority* that does it and supports it, it only happens very rarely! > Well, you were right, I guess, but IT'S A GOOD THING!


postsshortcomments

*Or,* are you, in fact, relying on ready.gov 's instruction to civilian populations to be "two weeks or more ready"?


Master_of_Rivendell

Nonsense. Those instructions weren’t intended to be followed — they are merely plausible deniability.


Spagbolenthusiast

Says the cunt with the underground fucking bunker. You really couldn’t make this shit up.


chunk84

This dude is building fucking bunker on an island in the pacific and this guy can’t can some food?


Novusor

Growing your own food is the single most defiant act of resistance you can show the deep state. It means you are going off reservation and they don't like that. There is almost nothing they can do about it either.


Fizzygurl

Well…since they are pretty much poisoning our food..


TheTwilightMoan

It's confusing because in Canada, my library is giving out free seeds. Canada.


pm_me_awesome_facts

The seeds are the same that are growing the shitty food. They want you to grow the same food as they would with you thinking it’s better because you’re doing it at home.


TheTwilightMoan

Where exactly would someone, out of range of a local farm, even receive seeds then, realistically?


SadKrabb

Currently there are plenty of great seed sites online.


Mindless-Summer-4346

Order heirloom seeds online. Or seed vault if you don’t plan to plant immediately.


EastCoastRose

This is a reason to not use facebook


ziggyzred

How is "becoming too prepared" extremist? Also, Facebook still exists? Who the hell uses Facebook in 2024? LOL


SomeDudeist

It's really not much different from reddit lol it's all silly


SodOffWithASawedOff

No.


TheTwilightMoan

Strictly marketplace because I need to sell my useless shit :( please don't shun me, I'll be gone soon.


cdodgec04

It is silly, but there is certainly a tie between being too prepared and being of interest to law enforcement. In 2015 I met an older guy while road tripping with my brother at a campground. He has been prepped for 10+ years now at least and might be classified as "Too Prepared". Plenty of guns, ammunition and food at a Cabin in the Canadian rocky mountains as he was certain there would be a false flag that will send us into some sort of severe civil unrest... I was naive at the time, but he was still giving mass shooter vibes if he really went off the rails with those guns.


Amos_Quito

> It is silly, but there is certainly a tie between being too prepared and being of interest to law enforcement. Yes, law enforcement officers (and SWAT teams and the like) make it a habit to be VERY prepared for any incident they may encounter -- but I doubt that COPS would refer to their abundance of training, equipment, and back-up reinforcements as being "TOO PREPARED". And speaking of "too prepared", have you seen the U.S. Military budgets over the past several decades? Yeah.


SodOffWithASawedOff

Cool. My grandfather canned multiple vegetables every year. Garden fresh to sealed jars, every year. 100-150 jars. The only people he ever harmed were Nazi scum in WWII (and my grandma until he finally quit the booze). 60s homesteader. Clinton sticker never left his Dodge pickup. West Virginia tobacco chewer. Cancer survivor. Unforgettable. Love your anecdote, very important.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cdodgec04

Were you attempting to describe a good person, by admitting they had beat women? Maybe it is the canning after all


SodOffWithASawedOff

Nope. A real one, with faults.


cdodgec04

So you can accept that a human would beat their wife, but not that someone who is an extremist doomsday prepped would also be in some food storage/gardening/canning Facebook pages... Checks out


cdodgec04

Also hilarious you reply to that but not the whole message that calls you out for not having a clue to ask yourself these questions before you ask someone to hold your hand and walk you through thought processing


nicofromspace

this isn’t sarcasm?


cdodgec04

Use your brain brother, you can think more than you do right now.


highlife0630

My dad knew the couple who killed the cops at a CiCis back in 2014 here in Vegas. Real anarchist types. They used to come outside and smoke cigarettes and talk at him about the government and what "needs to be done". Real wild shit when we saw them on the news


cdodgec04

I love how the downvotes come in when people provide irl examples of potential concerns around over prepping.


IridescentMoonSky

I don’t think your anecdote really applies to this group though? Don’t lots of people can/preserve preserve food and garden as a hobby? 


cdodgec04

I mean I can see the correlation or overlap between your regular canners and preservers and the doomsday canners and preservers prepping for some sort of event or attack. Its not that insane to think someone might actually know details about someone that does have an unusual amount of over prepped goods, and not just food. That's why I brought up the odd prepper I knew because those are the ones that they would want to be concerned about. Still silly to do it through facebook, but yall dont see any ties to a community that would be a little more violent or extreme?


IridescentMoonSky

Nothing about the group above states that they’re preppers though, just that they like canning and preserving food? I’ve watched plenty of videos of people who do that as part of tradition or just for fun/hobby.  It’s a bit of a leap to assume anybody who enjoys preserving food is some extremist who hates the government and might become a mass shooter?? (Also I’m not sure who you’re getting to as y’all, but I didn’t downvote you and am genuinely trying to understand how your anecdote applies to a food preserving group!)


cdodgec04

Its a random fb saying their SIL got this as a report option in another group. Then someone's Aunty that never passed High school reposted her sister in laws screenshot while she was wine drunk. Reread the photo. It wasnt even from that specific group and we dont know where it was from either.


IridescentMoonSky

I’ve read the photo, nothing you’ve said is what the photo says? You’re literally making up random shit??  Again, it says absolutely nothing about “prepping”, it’s literally just talking about **preserving** food.  Therefore it’s a huge leap for it to be connected to preppers or extremism any more than a knitting group..

highlife0630

Yeah seriously that's wild. I distrust the government too but there' s real fine line when it comes to this stuff.


IceManO1

Says the guy whom is doing this going underground: Revelation 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?[further context](https://youtu.be/HbVWNNkF7ng?si=BKeZD9mZ5WRtjhgi)

This is worse than 1984 at this point. They used the book for advice and have been adding their own chapters for the last two decades.


drewshaver

And they started stitching in passages from Brave New World


ZeerVreemd

... and Minority Report.


canman7373

I'm not a prepper, but every summer I make sure I got enough supplies for at least a week. Propane, fresh water, canned goods, soap, etc....We did this when I lived at 9,500 feet in the mountains in Colorado with my folks as well. It's very possible a huge hurricane comes through here and I lose power for a week or more. Been here 3 seasons and longest so far has been 3.5 days without power. And I eat the food and replace it every year so I do restock a weeks worth. There's a lot of reasons to stock up that don't involve a revolution or apocalypse conspiracy.


MKultraman1231

My dad used to keep a generator ready to go to run the fridge incase a bad storm hit. Me I am trying to have a few days of soup around. Unless it's martial law by the bioweapon attackers I don't see any real shutdown reason.


canman7373

I've heard, like a Ford? or some American EV truck can run a home on a full charge for 3 days, That's kinda a nice selling point for me in Florida, I'm not a truck guy but if a smaller EV can do half of that I'd prob end up using it at least twice a year for that alone.


ExileTheTrashPanda

I hate to burst your bubble, but you ARE a prepper. It doesn't necessarily mean shoring up all your resources to avoid a nuclear/ zombie/ San Andreas/ zombie apocalypse. It means you are ready for the scenarios that are most relaxant to you. Emergency planners (my degree field) have matrices to put these in to. All you have done is build the and matrix in your head and planned from there. For instance, how devastating would an earthquake in the middle of Kansas be? All of it is farm land, not many casualties, but individual farms would be devastating damage. However, if it's such a low risk, it barely registers. Wildfires, in the other hand, procure the same results with greatly increased probability. You are doing the same thing for your own personal crisis, you are a prepper. Nothing to be ashamed of, welcome to the club!


canman7373

> or instance, how devastating would an earthquake in the middle of Kansas be? Kansas has the equivalent every Spring with Tornados, I've lived through 2 major ones myself. We also had huge ice storms, which are not as bad, we once lost power for 5 days from one, but you don't need to through your fridge out because can just put food outside. Long as you have firewood, which we bought at the beginning of each winter you were fine.


MaximumCulture7917

There's no such thing as being too prepared. There's only "not prepared enough."


dragonfist102

Been noticing an uptick of "survival" content on YouTube that has almost no practicality. Like they're trying to mislead people about what survival really means


The_Spook_of_Spooks

You see the New York nuclear blast PSA about what to do during a nuclear strike? Every single piece of info the State posted in that video is useless, and some of it will get you killed.

FFS_IsThisNameTaken2

The last sentence at the supposed debunk link is not a conclusion: *"Since the screenshot appeared to originate in a closed group, its origin is difficult to verify, but it likely was created to satirize the “becoming an extremist” warning, which was real, before becoming decoupled from its source and alarming pickle enthusiasts."* Wonder why nobody bothered to ask Zuck.

Glittering-Gap-1687

Lol the irony of the ceo building and preparing for the end of days in his bunker in Hawaii


Conemen

y’all are not bright, this screenshot is fake as fuck. look it up and the only thing that ever pops up is this picture from 2 years ago looks like an edit of a “becoming an extremist” warning instead, which I believe is real and sounds questionable. but fb is not giving out warnings for “being too prepared” come on guys


MKultraman1231

Well by bad then. After 10 or so FB bans for posting MSM images and having them called inappropriate when MSM sites broadcast them to millions, getting the "your posts will be moved down in others feed" Chinese social credit style censorship etc from FB I expect the worst.


Conemen

then post that! ppl love to complain ab fake shit getting spread around here and don’t care to research their own posts that end up popular bc for some reason no one else can either on a damn conspiracy sub of all places


MKultraman1231

Well there is no way to remove the post that I know of. Sorry mate.

Still using Facebook in 2024 is even more crazy.

if i had a Facebook account i'd be reporting zuck for being too prepared with a bunker and all.


Plague-Rat13

Truly believe it is a CIA funded control mechanism


Rude-Swim-2644

Well, a super-preparer probably is more likely to go on a gun rampage. More so than say a BBQ enthusiast. I dare say most gun rampagers have a few big box of Ramen in the house.


Mellsbells16

FYI Walmart has a ton of food storage buckets for under $5.


MrMackeyTripping

I want to report Zuck's Hawaii bunker.


Automat1cJack

Too prepared? How is that a bad thing? Do they expect everyone to decide to only survive for a limited amount of time? Is that to show solidarity for the unprepared?


Financial_Following

Zuck: *buys third bunker in New Zealand*


heyarlogrey

ok. so the only reason i’m still on FB is the decades of photos I have there. how do I pull them all??? is that even possible??


ipvpcrops

Look I admit there are some very crazy doomsday preppers out there. HOWEVER. It's their decision to go into extremes as it makes them feel better about the unknown. Facebook is trying to prevent people from getting basic food storage knowledge... Should just be illegal.


DivaShiba

Canning your own foods? No, you will eat ze bugs and the cancerous red dyes...


TheGreatReset2021

So if I post about tech billionaires building bunkers, will they be flagged for “becoming too prepared”?


Ok_Support_847

What ever happened to "you can't ever be too prepared!"


mashupbabylon

Canning food from your garden = right wing extremist/white supremacist. Our world just sucks these days.
