SurvivalBlog has created a very large virtual "[[American Patriots|patriot]] prepper" community of some of the most brilliant people in a wide variety of disciplines. Despite their differences, they all have an interest in preparedness and survivalism, which is of course naturally from a [[Conservative values]] - [[Traditional values]] - [[American values]] - [[Small town values]] - [[Family values]] perspective. There are very few [[liberals]] (particularly those of the [[Teacup Generation]]) interested in "being prepared" for any difficult times or circumstances. This is because most [[leftist]]s erroneously hope they can rely on [[Big government]]-[[Welfare state]]-[[Nanny state]] ([[Obamunism]]: [[Income redistribution]] of [[ObamaCare]]-[[Social Security]]-[[FEMA]]) due their [[entitlement mentality]] [[indoctrination]] primarily from the [[Public school values]] - [[Professor values]] of the [[Public schools in the United States]] ([[Teachers' unions]]) and from the [[Hollywood values]], [[San Francisco values]] and [[Fashion industry values]] propaganda machines of the [[Mainstream media]] and its [[liberal media elite]].
