Survivalism is a social movement/sub-culture consisting of individuals and groups who are actively preparing for dire emergencies, including possible disruptions in the social and/or political order, on a locale and/or global scale.
Factor involved in increasing survivalism in contemporary times
In recent years, survivalism has gained more traction due to the high amounts of sovereign debt in Western World economies and due to the current currency wars (significant printing of money by various economies) which are designed to weaken the currencies of countries in order to boost their exports.
In addition, the global economy has a lot of interdependency so economic panics/problems can spread across economies.
Aditionally, there is a lot of unemployment in many Western countries - particularly among the youth and those who occupy the lower economic strata of societies. These economic problems have created a lot of turnover in terms of various government leaders around the world.
Further intensifying the concerns/fears of survivalists is an increased number of riots/demonstrations in Europe/United States in recent years.
