I find relevance in the dog remarks; I've noted that the entire American populace is treated poorly. It reminds me(I assume you), of different methods of dog training to bring out the aggressive side.

On that note, I do believe the American populace is being groomed for some sort of guerrilla combat. I've been in 'gun culture' all my life, and in my early 20's my interest just turned off.

If you look back at legislation to ban guns, all they ever did was raise the prices, and demonize more, but let the arms flow; now we have things like the flightlight scr, and with a binary trigger???? The gun debates have been a ruse; likewise, all the prepper encouragement??? I was watching 'Six feet under', it's a series from the early 2000's; in it, they're 'prepping' in season 4.

Conditioning, but for ? perhaps that war you mention, but with the deliberate preparation of a large chunk of the American populace??? Why, who, and what for?

Prepper encouragement, I think, is just a result of post-911 nihilism.

There's always been a 'reason', that 'movement' goes back a while. A simple example of what I'm talking about, is back I think in 1972, a guy was lecturing the college circuit about his book. The book was called, I think, "The 50 dollar underground home", or near there.

I read that book, in 1972, this guy thought the world was ending, and made arguments somewhat like we read today. Think about that for a second, there have been 'doomers', or not the same, but 'preppers' for a long long time. Kinda makes you wonder about relevance of things.

Prepper alarmism probably originates from nuclear strike concerns.

Or fundamentalist zealots, my mind is seeing those people who ring the bell, and state,'the end is near'... I mean heck, that's straight from god, lol!
