The only thing the paranoid preppers did was raise the price of ammunition.

Going back to COVID. one had to wear a MOPP IV suit and decontaminate everything you touch 24/7, including the interior of your car and the ultimate petri dish, your mobile phone. For the folks who grew a beard and wore a mask, FU, you compromised the mask.

In hindsight it doesn't feel like it was a proper SHTF moment. Some of the early reactions did make it feel like one but in the end not that much happened where I live. Try to stay away from people for a while and use a mask seemed like the extent of it. Spent a lot more than outdoors than I usually do.

Was there actually news indicating that preppers, as a group, were more likely to be against masking than for it?

I wouldn't be too surprised, but I haven't actually seen any evidence to this effect.

On a deeper level I think it's mostly a framework of acceptability some people have built around being antisocial and afraid of everything.
