      Since I am a Serb born in Croatia and "subtly" forced to move to Serbia, I've felt on myself how sudden social changes (including the dark side: propaganda and collective stupidity) emerge and grow under specific circumstances. We are collectively incapable to deal with relatively simple situations (for instance the most liberal (still not good enough for the West) type of European communism becoming wars and hatred). Survivalists in general look like a combination of new (or renewed) hippies and far right (blaming Obama's "socialism" for everything - whatever happens globally, it will be even more "interesting" and dynamic in America) protectors of blood and soil. They are a seed that might when their fears become reality spread and grow into - something.
