just to be clear, these people arent protesting and begging to go back to work. theyre protesting because they want all the service workers to go back to work so they can get a hair cut or massage.

Ill admit I must be missing something here because I dont get it.

Aren't Doomsday Preppers those people who have been preparing for years for a collapse of society, by hoarding resources and training in some way to survive it? I dont think any of those obnoxious protesters are preppers.

wouldn't be surprised if those photos were cherrypicked and most protesters are independent contractors, operators of small enterprises, blue collar workers in dire economic straits

not sure if statistics are available but given how polarized his entire ordeal is i'm hesitant to take commentary on things like this at face value

It's more like some on the right like to make themselves out to as supposed independent, badass, manly, military trained, doomsday preppers like how they like to cosplay as soldiers/militia guys. I imagine most who call themselves that only bought a few extra more canned goods and bought another gun and a bunch of ammo and that's it.

I think that's why there are quotation marks around "doomsday prepers".

Im actually somewhat happy barber shops are closed. I say somewhat cause I do empahtize with them being out of work. But as an essential employee who works somewhere with near military standards on a haircut ita nice to say to my boss "where am I gonna get a haircut?"

Honestly why can't people golf during social distancing?

Of all sports (unless hunting counts) Golf is one where people stand alone in butt fuck no where meters apart from each other at the best of times and make no contact.

Suspend Golf Carts, use their own balls and clubs and they aren't risking anyone.

It is definitely cherrypicked. Welcome to the media, they did the same thing to Occupy Wall Street, cherrypicked all the crazy hippies they could find and left out the large majority of regular working-class people at those protests to sell the narrative they were mandated to instead of the truth. The news is about getting people's attention so they can make money off sales and advertising, not about informing people.

Cherry picked photos, many of those signs are likely intended to be humorous. Those "standoff" photos are staged as hell.

Someone who would waste space and energy on airconditioning in their bunker isn't really a doomsday prepper imo

Preppers do tend to skew right but I don't think the same people I've encountered in the community (admittedly been involved for barely over a year though) are the same kinds to pull this dumb shit.
