Not only that, but it is a waste of time. You never get to hear what steps you need to take in order to be saved, aside wasting all your time pio-sneering and telling everyone else the same thing.
This is far more confusing than those "gloom and doom" videos I see on YouTube about the collapse of the United Tyranny of America, its economy, or the dollar that Bernanke made into toilet paper. At least those videos give you an alternative--an action to take that actually makes sense if and when such calamity does occur in your country. Some of the actions are extreme and disagree with each other, but that's to be expected when no central governing body is responsible for all of them. Some tell people to move out in the country; others tell them to move in small community villages; still others, there will be martial law preventing that from doing any good. But they all suggest getting durable goods that are going to hold up, and buying silver and gold and keeping it safe at home. Spreading the message to others is strictly optional.
Compare: Within the Washtowel Babble and Crap Slaveholdery, you get the same amount of dissent--and confusion. This, while acceptable when there is no central governing body organizing it, is NOT acceptable when there is one. Yet, the actions are vague. Besides warning others to take action, what action do you take? Do you move to the country? No. Do you buy gold, silver, oil, and/or food? No. Do you buy durable goods, like clothing and furniture that is going to last through the crisis? No. Do you prepare with off-grid power supplies like private solar panels? No. Rather, you are supposed to go out and bring others into the same activity! Besides an ever-changing list of rules, there is no specific action that is going to protect you. And, unlike the YouTube videos, the recommended actions make absolutely no sense. At least in a crisis, silver is going to buy me goods--and if we get no crisis, I still have my money protected from regular inflation and banking fees. Also, you don't get partial protection if you take just one or two of their recommended acts--mess up on one, you lose the whole thing.
As for people making things seem worse than they actually are, the Washtowel Babble and Crap Slaveholdery does a pretty good job at that. They talk about everyone being out to screw you--not just the banks and government, but everyone. They talk about, not only paper money becoming worthless but also gold and silver (which cannot become totally worthless as long as there is money and/or industrial value to these metals). They view even having a normal job as Satan is out to get you and stop you from pio-sneering. You want to watch sports (or the "sensationalist" videos they are bashing), Satan is stopping you from going out in field circus. You are sick, Satan is trying to get you to not attend the boasting session and spread your tuberculosis or whatever to everyone else. And so on. At least those "sensationalist" videos have some common sense. While I don't necessarily advocate storing tons of rice and beans, everyone can benefit if they can get at least a little silver in their physical possession whether or not the crises materialize in your country.
