More often left-libertarian is associated with wanting all dope legalized.  I have no heartburn with that, realizing that legalizing dope is also perfectly compatible with shelters, food hoarding, collecting guns and ammo.  I see no logical tension at all there.

That's the difference between USA and Europe.
Europe has preppers (or survivalists) as well, but without the guns
and ammo. Well, except maybe farmer types who might have shotguns for
rabbits, game birds, etc.
>From the viewpoint of Europe, the USA preppers look like the
heavily-armed militia movement people that we have seen on TV, dressed
in camo and struggling with carrying heavy machine guns around. They
don't look at all like liberals to Europeans.
