...actually, in my opinion the armageddon scenarios are far more distant and unlikely. The real prep scenario has to be the imposition of martial law and roundups. Even if it unlikely today, that's what the threat of tomorrow looks like. When an evil government uses the powers they already have to start targeting various members of the community. It's so damned easy to turn into China's social model with the tech we have, it almost happened during covid and they are itching to follow that pathway anyways.
So.... riots in the cities, gov declares martial law, countless communities get doorknocked in a silent plague, and you've got to flee. That's worse than the nuclear world in many ways, because at least then you were expected to live in concert with the government. But if they want you, you've got to think about where you're going to flee. How you'll live underground, when the entire methodology for how people do this is increasingly obsolete. That's the real danger scenario
