why not?

if you are debating the needs to survive in a post-apocalyptic world or a world where governments begin to fail then you have to remember rule 1 is every man for himself. why should i let myself starve when i have the means and the sense to take what i need from those who arent willing to fend but rather hide in a hole?

is it ethical? maybe not, but its darwinism at its finest. if i need something to survive in a world that gives no man leniency then im going to take what i need however i can. protection and self defense is as important as the stockpiles you make. if you cant defend your stock against the outside world why even stockpile?

edit: and the best part of it all is the fact that those who are able to take what they need when they need will draw to them those that are unable or unwilling to do it themselves, thereby building yourself something of a organization with yourself at its head ... a pseudo government if you will h:
