	Survivalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A survivalist is a person who anticipates a potential disruption in the continuity of local, regional or worldwide society, and takes steps to survive in the resulting unpredictable situation.
		Some survivalists take an interest in survival in the wilderness or at sea, while others look for opportunities to gain practice and training by assisting in government volunteer organizations.
		Advocates of nuclear disarmament are critical of survivalists in general and preparations to survive nuclear war in particular, on the grounds that attempting to survive a nuclear war would be neither possible nor desirable, also saying that surviving requires rather a good attitude.

	Fathom :: The Source for Online Learning
		Among survivalists, what passes for "groups" are short-lived, irregular, potluck and show-and-tell sessions among family and friends, or, most often, mail-order membership subscription lists for newsletters or magazines and once or twice a year campouts or public conferences.
		Survivalists carefully select from these conditions, emphasizing some, ignoring others, building their scenarios on the delicate optimism of middle ground, between the extremes of disbelief and despair, where their preparations can be imagined at once as necessary and sufficient.
		September 11 did not confirm a survivalist truth so much as sensitize listeners to survivalist tale-telling, create a more hospitable stage on which survivalists can have a say, put on a show, interpret, dramatize and recast the events of the day and the signs of the times.

	Just a perfectly ordinary doomsday fanatic \| csmonitor.com
		His premise is that survivalists, the archetype of whom is a white male in his late 30s with two years of college and two children, are neither crazy nor dangerous, at least no more so than the general population from which they are drawn.
		In his effort to portray all survivalists as harmless eccentrics, he ignores the fact that many of them could be diagnosed as suffering from delusional disorders.
		By dancing around the deleterious effect that survivalist thinking and behavior may have on those within and without their ranks, "Dancing at Armageddon" is disturbing and disingenuous.

	Apocalyptic and End of the World Fiction, Film and TV at EmptyWorld (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A second important open-ended series (survivalist fiction, like pornography, tends to be structured as a series of escalating repetitions of the same material) is William W Johnstone's Ashes sequence from 1983, in which an extreme right-wing political agenda is used to legitimize the hero's actions.
		There may be some connection between present-day survivalist movements in the USA and survivalist fiction as here described, in that survivalist fiction may seem to express a grotesquely decayed form of Heinleinian relish at the defeat of "civilian" values when the "real" world bares its teeth.
		Sadistic, sexist, racist, pornographic, gloating and void, survivalist fiction is an obscene parody of genuine survivalism, and a nightmare at the bottom of the barrel of sf.

		Gentle Survivalists have a deep sense of awe and appreciation for nature and many believe our earth was created, perhaps not in six days, but in six creative time periods, admitting unashamedly that we can only begin to understand the miracle of life and the concepts of God's time, space and eternity.

		And yes indeed, a lot of these survivalists have been drawn from the more socially dispossessed in American society in recent decades: former farmers, factory workers, manual workers who were losing their jobs, losing their living wage and of course are looking for scapegoats.
